and pitchfork can go to hell!

Some of the catchiest pop music you'll hear this year. Good productions and vocal deliveries, I hope they're the next big thing.

Fav tracks: Girlfriends, Wingman, Touched by an Angel

Some great songs but a bit all over the place sonically, which wouldn't be an issue for an EP, but here we're talking about a 1-hour-long K-pop album.

Highlights: Bicycle, Flying On Faith, Stay Tonight, Dream Of You, Bother Me.

The melodies, the vocals, the productions, EXY's (self-written) rap verses, the charisma, the versatility... They served EVERYTHING and MORE.

EP of the Year, MAYBE DECADE

Ily IU but this is a compilation of Yukika and OH MY GIRL rejects

not as bad as solo but still pretty mid

she's physically unable to miss

this is kinda what I wanted positions to sound like

fav tracks: follow the white rabbit, effortlessly , boyshit, stained glass

Some songs on this aged like fine wine, and others haven't aged at all (looking at you Say It Right). It drags on a little near the end but I'm willing to forgive that. Also, the production on Promiscuous is one of the greatest thing that has ever happened in Pop Music.

I can't believe an auvergnat folk album from the 70s invented trip hop

pain.

some of her best deep cuts are on this album, and that run starting from showdown to touch of my hand is simply pop genius

highlights: me against the music, showdown, breathe on me, early mornin, toxic, outrageous, touch of my hand; everytime

unpopular opinion: oops i did it again>>>>baby one more time

fav tracks: oops, stronger, don't go knockin at my door, satisfaction, what u see, one kiss from you, can't make you love me

holy s the production on the beat goes on sounds like something straight out of bjork's debut lol

fav tracks: baby one more time, crazy, sometimes, i will still love you (soooo cheesy I love it), deep in my heart

love the vespertine vibes on that b-side, def a career highlight

too short, but some interesting ideas

favs: someone like u, test drive, worst behaviour
least fav: 34+35 remix

hit after hit after hit after hit after hit

100 for the stripped version

not nearly as captivating as folklore but still a nice effort

fav tracks: champagne problems, gold rush, coney island, marjorie, closure, evermore
least fav: tolerate it (marjorie should've been the track 5)
