Following in the footsteps of Sexy Celebrity, this list isn't ordered. It's just 100 singles that I love from last year.


1. Kendrick Lamar - i

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jltN3fLFmTQ


Totally different approach from K.dot following his masterpiece of an album, Good Kid m.A.A.d. City. More artists should be like Kendrick and fear not the taking of chances.

2. Run the Jewels - Oh My Darling (Don't Cry)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-S9mtYowPY

"My business card says you're in luck / I do two things, I rap and f*ck"

Right now Run the Jewels own rap. Nobody else is even close.

01-19-15, 04:08 AM
3. Run the Jewels ft. Zack De La Rocha - Close Your Eyes (And Count to F*ck)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY3AXolAhYw

The coolest rap feature in a long, long time.

4. Todd Terje - Delorean Dynamite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUOIvT9hzD8

When I listen to this song I wish I lived in Miami and I could cruise around in a convertible on a warm day as the sun goes down and palm trees surround me.

5. Waka Flocka Flame - Slippin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbLl8N8xguA

Trying for the first time since Flockaveli, Waka Flocka drops a sizzling single. The Mike Will Made It beat is simple and let's Waka Flocka shine, I appreciate that MWMI wasn't trying to overshadow the rapper with this one.

6. Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea - Problem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS1g8G_njx8

I am not ashamed.

Maybe the best thing she's done since "Video Games"

9. Aphex Twin - minipops 67 [120.2] [source field mix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUAJ8KLGqis

There so much activity in every layer of this song. You could listen to it 100 times in a row and notice something new at any given part.

01-19-15, 04:59 AM
10. Angel Olsen - Hi-Five

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ix7xFW0mPU

Hey, here's a song that's not rappy, poppy, or eletricky.

jiraffejustin
01-19-15, 05:05 AM
11. D'Angelo and The Vanguard - Sugah Daddy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo3RAH0zLlU

Funkiest song of the year.

12. Rae Sremmurd - No Type

The lyrics aren't exactly the most intellectual words you'll ever hear, but there's something to them that just click for me.

01-19-15, 05:18 AM

25. Run the Jewels - Blockbuster Night Pt. 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuWQyfGa1yI

And that's a clean sweep for Mike and El. All three Run the Jewels singles are predictably on this list.

Watch this music video, because it's Killer Mike and El-P riding around in an ambulance.

01-19-15, 01:56 PM
26. Young Thug, A$AP Ferg & Freddie Gibbs - Old English

jiraffejustin
01-19-15, 02:06 PM

35. Todd Terje - Leisure Suit Preben / Preben Goes to Acapulco

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuFOG_lCGGw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYlP7C_hYhc

Mr Minio
01-19-15, 07:51 PM
FKA Twigs is really popular. I stumbled across them several times already. I give their EP2 3. It's decent, but doesn't make me excited enough to listen to their album.

I'm listening to Lykke Li singles right now and they're all alright, but have that 'radio pop song' written all over them, which makes them worse in my book.

Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX - Fancy is one of the worst songs I've heard recently. It must be hard to write something so bad, so perhaps it's an achievement in its own way.

Not a fan of most rap, so obviously I didn't fancy the rap singles I listened in this thread.

Sia - Chandelier is interesting, but wears off really fast. The hook is cool, but still in a very radioesque (is there such a word?) way. The music video is interesting, tho.

Röyksopp & Robyn - Do It Again is again quite alright, but mainstream, radio, background music. Well, that's just my opinion.

Viet Cong is a (one of?) highlight on this list. I need to listen to the whole album. I was meaning to do it for a week now! I also need to listen to the rest of your list, but I don't have time today. Maybe tomorrow. I can post a rating of every song if you want.

I think I need to make a similar thread myself, but I don't know if there's enough singles in 2014 music I listened to.

I discovered my latest discovery - the greatest pop group ever - has released two singles in 2014. A good start for my new thread I might or might not make.

That's what happens when you write your post for at least half an hour while doing several other things (like listening to music).

jiraffejustin
01-19-15, 07:55 PM

You don't have to, it would look like a mark f Movie Tab post.

Swan
01-19-15, 07:57 PM
I wish Sia made "Elastic Heart" her 2014 single, because I like it more than "Chandelier" (which I really like still).

Mr Minio
01-19-15, 08:00 PM
Any drone recs from last year? I had to check RYM for that one. I hoped for some recs from you, but the only thing that is more or less drone I can recommend from 2014 is Under the Skin soundtrack by Mica Levi, Time Machines II by Peter Christopherson (the guy from Coil), and Sunn O))) & Ulver collaboration Terrestrials. I haven't listened to Time Machines II in its entirety, because as much as I love what I hear I'm genuinely scared. The first Time Machines was a great album and I've listened to it while watching a very slow-paced Akerman film with no dialog and almost no people. It was amazing, but kinda weird experience. Then I read this stuff it is supposed to invoke some crazy dreams, lucid dreams, or something when you listen to it when you sleep and that it has some sounds in a very high or low frequency you can't hear, but it stimulates your brain and I don't know if it's true, or not, or if my version of the album is high quality enough to actually maintain this effect, but this somehow made me afraid I'll be tripping balls while listening to this album, which is utter bullsh*t and I'll probably listen to it soon. :P

Or maybe it was just my excuse not to listen to this album... I have 700 more albums I need to hear.

Swan
01-19-15, 08:02 PM
I'm surprised Under the Skin isn't too mainstream for you, Minio. :p

jiraffejustin
01-19-15, 08:02 PM
I've already listened to the Under the Skin OST, it's dope.

01-19-15, 08:03 PM
Mica Levi is an INSANELY talented musician by the way. I love Micachu and the Shapes. Marry me, Raisa Khan.

Slappydavis
01-19-15, 11:04 PM
Like the list, lots to agree with, lots to disagree with, which makes it all better.

The Todd Terje song is great, would likely be my favorite cut on the album if not for Inspector Norse (But that wouldn't count as a 2014 single anyway).

I know Bobby Shmurda was everywhere, but that track does nothing for me.

Wasn't aware of that BBNG/Killah/Danny collab, I hope they do more in the future.

You mentioned recent drone and I thought I'd recommend Mohammad, who dropped Zo Rèl Do (m.youtube.com/watch?v=90SkJNwSnWI) in 2014 and Som Sakrifis (m.youtube.com/watch?v=JqF9Fc0peP0) in 2013.

38. Sky Ferreira - I Blame Myself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yleXykJyXbo

Not as good as "Everything Is Embarrassing" but considering that's probably the pop song of the decade, that's not a shot.

I don't really know what qualifies as pop though. I do like Elastic Heart more than Suit and Tie.

I love "Endless River" (Pink Floyd) but the single (only song with lyrics) isn't good...

I tried listening to this stuff, but most of it isn't music, it's a computer program doing all the work. Drum machines, auto-tune, give me a break.

Babysitter music.... I'm waiting for Debbie Gibson at this rate.

I heard another song, and it was all done on a keyboard. Even if they were real instruments, it was just no good.

I don't use computers, programs, etc.... I play all the instruments on my album, engineered, produced, published, myself. It's on Amazon..

You seem to be familiar with real instruments and not at all with how electronic music production works. Because anyone who knows and/or has tried their hand at making electronic music will tell you, it's not at all easy. I've tried my hand at it and sure, what I made was music, but it wasn't good music. Not nearly on the same level as Aphex Twin or Flying Lotus.

By the way, a lot of these guys don't use drum machines. Aphex Twin makes his own drum sounds with a synth and records them. He did use drum machines with his early ambient work, when he still didn't have great equipment, but now he makes his own beats completely. He's an organic electronic musician. Total genius.

Future Islands - Seasons is an alright synthpop track, but BADBADNOTGOOD Reinterpretation is pure gold! I rate BBNG2 and III rating_3_5 by the way. I have to give their debut a listen!

I've been hearing about St. Vincent for quite some time, but I never gave her a proper listen. It's not like me listening to her single is a proper listen in any way, but the single's alright. I also listened the B-side, Birth in Reverse you forgot to include.

Ariel Pink is alright, too, but:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsS6aQJzZZ0

Is way better. Just remembered it while listening to Put Your Number in My Phone.

I heard about The War on Drugs a few days ago. Gotta check it out.

Also, check out my today's music discovery:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEJv-_ntibU

It's not a single, but I like this song a lot more than the actual EP's single Your Love.

And now I discovered the Aphex Twin single at number 9. It kicks ass! Will be digging deeper into this thread later...
