xxxxpost i think the lack of beyonce prob stems from people having no fucking clue whether to stick the beyonce album or its songs on 2014 lists for like, technicality reasons

xp maybe? but in a rich year for daring r&B/indie hybrid singles, turning twigs into the defacto blanket token representative suggests a lack of listening

How exactly does it follow that liking FKA twigs means you must also like Beyonce? (I mean, I like both of them but that is because I'm a gothy dude who likes R&B; they're doing distinctly different things, IMO equally well, and liking one is only tangentially related to liking the other)

ahh the Magent list is a little messed up - went straight to the top 10 and #1 & 4 both came out last year and for #6 they picked pretty much the worst track on the New Pornographer's album!

sylvan esso is like someone setting out to make a less-annoying tune-yards and ending up with something just as annoying as tune-yards

(also it's hilarious to frame your argument as "people listing FKA twigs have no imagination when it comes to R&B; where's the Beyonce?")

so funny that "habits" is on quite a few 2014 lists but everyone was like UM WUT when i tried to pass that song around all 2013!

i don't necessarily think the mark of a good or interesting list is agreeing with all the picks

Tove Lo still seems to have the same profile in 2014 as she did in 2013 imo, except there's an album to go along with the singles now.

Emilie Nicolas, «Like I’m a Warrior»
I just happened across this album over the tgiving holiday weekend. I'd had "Pstereo" in my Spotify best of the year list for a long time, but I didn't know there was a full LP. Unfortunately, except for one other song, it's pretty boring. :(

xxxxxp nobody's saying you HAVE to like bey if you like twigs (though i'm hard pressed to think of anyone i've spoken to, gothy dude into R&B or otherwise, who is familiar with twigs and doesn't). FKATs points about the incipient racism of amalgamating all black singer/songwriters as R&B performers aside; her music and bey's album from this year are at least tangentially musically related i'll cop that bey is maybe not the most apt choice of comparison (though recent repeat listening of haunted is illuminating the connections) but she's among the ten biggest performing artists in the world, you'd think they might have noticed her work or ANYONE else's working that currently zeitgeisty 'radiohead quiet storm' soundmore to the point, there's a host of other voices in the same/adjoining lanes that appear to be getting sidelined regardless (or more likely because of) popularity in favor of the more indie leaning choicewhat i'm reacting to is musical tokenism and maybe a bit of the universal bey snubbing in the early ballots.

Nobody Knows is great, Grow Up also sounds good to me, the repetition works really well as a check on the song becoming trite nostalgia. Haven't really sat down with the album otherwise.
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 21:13 (nine years ago) link
alvvays is OK i guess but idk how it superseded a lot of stuff on that list (or off it!) this ages & ages song is kinda wack
really dreading sylvan esso given the zings upthread

That Sylvan Esso thing is atrocious.

I like Alvvays, though they have better songs than that one. Now I'm listening to Ages and Ages and I might actually hate it more than the Sylvan Esso one. Eesh.

Didn't really care much for the Sylvan Esso song that Paste gave number 1 to, but I don't mind the other song I've heard of hers, "Coffee".

I liked the FKA Twigs album a lot, though I need to spend more time with it - it's one of those things where I need to be in the right mood (same with Beyonce's album, actually).
