1. Imploding The Mirage- The Killers. This album has an incredible way to capture immensity and euphoria (of finding trust,love and unavoidable faith), as it is shown in the wild synths on My Own Soul's Warning (with Bruce Springsteen's influenced vocals) and Dying Breed. However, it is also able to draw peaceful joy , like in the serene 'Blowback'. The record is an enchantment and delight of finding a new way full of authentic feelings, excellently brought to music. Maybe that belief in authenticity and powerful love is what we needed this year.
2.Foolish Loving Spaces-Blossoms. The Stockport band succeeds in their complete and finest analysis of love, which makes you swim through alt -rock ('Your Girlfriend' and 'Like Gravity') and pop perfection ('Oh No (I think I'm in Love)' and 'Swimming Brain') .
3.After Hours-The Weeknd. An unexpected bet for pop without leaving R&B. His admiration for 80s pop came just in time when pop seemed to be disappearing for hip/hop and trap. With vibrant and contagious synths, pop has bloomed again.
4. La vita nuova - Christine and the queens. An elegant closeness to sadness. Christine touches pain with a sutile, perfect amount of sadness('People I've been Sad' and 'Nada' or 'Mountains' ). Intense feelings are in the focus and her inspiration on the passionate love story between Dante and Beatrice proves it. Desire, the euphoria of founding it and tears flood in La vita Nuova
5. Future Nostalgia-Dua Lipa. Another certain bet for pop, disco and dance music. Bringing back pop never felt more enjoyable. It was risky to take pop back to the top of the charts instead of going with an R&B and trap beats,and Dua has revived pop, even with a sample excess.
Chrisitine and The Queens regresa con una nueva canción tras su álbum Paranoia, Angels & True Love y después de publicar en fin de año su excelente versión de Staying Alive de los Bee Gees -con algún verso de Night Fever - que ya interpretó en el Festival de Cannes de 2023. El nuevo tema viene por sorpresa y es cantado completamente en francés. Rentrer chez moi parece regresar al pop minimalista y envuelve en su atmósfera reflexiva . Como ya dije en mi reseña de To Be Honest , Christine brilla en sus letras poéticas y existenciales y lo vuelve a hacer aquí, con la sencillez y autenticidad en la expresión del sentimiento por encontrar el amor y el refugio. Siempre que Christine canta enteramente en francés, suele acompañar un sentimiento -con la excepción de su último disco, donde predomina el inglés- de intimidad, vulnerabilidad y delicadeza , como hizo en Chaleur Humaine , en las baladas de Chris y en la mágica Rien Dire . El existencialismo se enfatiza en el puente
La semana pasada se publicó el tercer disco de Maggie Rogers, Don’t Forget Me . Para este tercer trabajo, Maggie abandona las guitarras rockeras, los sintetizadores y los agudos de Surrender para volver a sonidos más acústicos y diurnos. En Don’t Forget Me se deja el sonido nocturno y comprimido de la ciudad por el de banda sonora para los viajes de carretera de primavera-verano . Maggie Rogers se sitúa más próxima al single de 2019 , Love You For a Long Time , cuestionándose sobre el amor verdadero y abandonando la euforia del deseo de Surrender , reducido solamente a Drunk . Las reminiscencias a Kacey Musgraves -muy notables en el banjo de Sick Of Dreaming - en parte se deben al trabajo de Ian Fitchfuk, productor de muchas de las canciones de Golden Hour , también de Ghost de Sigrid , que figura como compositor de ocho de las diez canciones del disco, además de productor. Por otra parte, la primera pista del disco, It Was Coming All Along , recuerda a John Mayer en Love On T
Just a year ago, Therapie taxi dropped their second album, titled 'Cadavre Exquis'. The project was the second chapter to their successful first record, 'Hit Sale'. The song with the same title peaked on number 18 on France singles chart. It featured Belgian rapper Romeo Elvis and the video has more than 70 million views on YouTube. They were shortlisted for a Victoires de la musique award. Sometimes described as controversial, Therapie taxi explored almost every genre in popular music, from synth pop ('Candide Crush'), to acoustic classic French pop ('La Proue'), trap beats ('BB la nuit'), house music and French hip hop. They managed to have their own public trying out different genres, unafraid to get out of the standards and being in constant experimentation. But, luckily, they are releasing an EP before they say goodbye, which is out January the 8th. Merci et Bon voyage (to the members of) Therapie Taxi!
