And now we reach the halfway point of my review of favorite songs of 2018:
30. Jon Hopkins - "Emerald Rush"
Always be sure to listen to the full version of this song. Hopkins provides a master class in how to properly build an electronic track. The emotions and energy of this one are palpable.
29. Lauren Auder - "for those that patiently endure"
Recalling the experimental pop of Scott Walker, Lauren Auder's music is both hauntingly intimate and grandiosely epic.
28. LO ft. Elouiz - "Last Call"
Producer LO had a great year with different collaborations. "Last Call," featuring the vocals of Elouiz, is a thumping dance track that is all about having fun at the club until the last song plays.
27. Georgia - "Started Out"
UK producer/singer Georgia beguiles with this throbbing, sinuous confection.
26. A$AP Rocky ft. FKA Twigs - "Fukk Sleep"
Killer collaboration between A$AP Rocky and FKA twigs makes you ask why it took so long for them to work together.
25. Chvrches - "Graves"
Chvrches went technicolor pop on their latest record Love is Dead, but they thankfully didn't lose their identity in the process. "Graves" is hook-ridden gold.
24. Beach House - "Black Car"
Just when I thought Beach House had done everything they could do with their sound, they slap me across the face with the brilliant reinvention of 7. "Black Car" takes their sound to an even more hypnotic place.
23. The Carters - "APESHIT"
Jeep-rattling collaboration between Jay-Z and Beyonce.
22. Half Waif - "Silt"
This song haunted me all year long. Her voice is achingly tender and gorgeous.
21. Sophie - "Faceshopping"
Epic bass-heavy track that will melt your face.
