2019 Favorite Songs (50-41)


Once again, we come to the end of another year and, in this case, another decade. It was a really great year for singles, so much so, I had another 50 tracks in the waiting room. While I would love to put them all on here, I only have slots for 50, so here we go:

50. Foals - "In Degrees"

Foals takes to the dance floor with this killer club track.



49. Lizzo - "Juice"

It's been so much fun watching Lizzo's star shine bright. It's hard to put this on without smiling.



48. Josin - "In The Blank Space"

The hauntingly beautiful title track to Josin's new record. Her lovely falsetto recalls Thom Yorke's aching croon.



47. Girlpool - "What Chaos Is Imaginary"

The gorgeous title track from the duo's latest album. Mournful organs, swirling strings, and pounding drums provide the base for their lovely intertwined vocals. It's a stunning track.



46. Hot Chip - "Hungry Child"

Another euphoric dance track from Hot Chip that gets better and better with each listen.



45. Blue Hawaii - "Still I Miss U"

I was drawn to Montreal synthpop duo Blue Hawaii's (Braids’ Raphaelle ‘Ra’ Standell and Alexander ‘Agor’ Kerby) single "Still I Miss U" with its tender synths and aching chorus. Anyone that has gone through a breakup and misses their ex will understand the sentiment of this beautiful track.



44. Julia Jacklin - "Don't Know How to Keep Loving You"

"Don't Know How to Keep Loving You" is a stark ballad about a relationship at an impasse, beautifully sung by Aussie Julia Jacklin.



43. !!! - "Couldn't Have Known"

You couldn't ask for a more booty-shaking rave-up this year.



42. Flume - "MUD"

Flume's "MUD" shows off more of his textural side with industrial-strength drums and more melted, twisted synths.



41. CUT_ - "Not Addicted to You"

Bold and forceful synthpop from Dutch electronic duo CUT_.
