20ssss

In 2020, I didn't even think that I could like this kind of hurricane. It's not so difficult to remember your difficult experience of colliding with work of this magnitude. And it was really a breakthrough. I think not only for me as a listener but also for Aya herself. And reading an interview with Pitchfork, she wrote and recorded it completely on Hyperdub about her fight against drug addiction, there is a misunderstanding. Are you cursed or gifted with talent and whether the witch will kiss you tonight at the club.

In the 15th century, witches didn’t write music — they were its metaphysical source. Not vocalists but mediums, not composers but vessels. Their words were recorded under torture, and all we know of them are fluctuations between moans and confessions dragged out through smoke. Something of that has passed into aya, who on hexed! doesn’t make music, but a phenomenon: a ritual captured in the language of asphalt, bones, and the most intimate panics…

Great classics. From the frightening creation of arrangements with the help of the bones of her dead dog and kitchen utensils to vocal whirls.

Fiona without pretention to share very personal and important experiences and I find myself in it.

I wasn't on AOTY back then, I just looked at Spotify recommendations and listened to something interesting for me. Do you remember this year's hit of Miley Cyrus "Flowers"? While many people seemed to me impressed by that album, at the end of the year, I liked a completely different one. The best album of 2022 is like an open chat more than a conversation with a friend in her private wardrobe.

Caroline is so free and dreamy here. Sunset resembles the Cuban influence at the junction of Flamenco and Reggae and is accompanied by its stunning vocals. Its diversity is so fascinating from the obsession to meet you on the island to the desire to walk around London at night.

Adele as a Disney princess. It seems that everything in her life is perfect, starting with little things, voice, label and ending with the most important thing, love. And even if there is no new album, it should at least become a happy ending in a good way!

Charli has always been the one who is not afraid to go beyond the usual, her look at something old in a new way impressed everyone. BRAT it's not an accident, it's something that was supposed to come out. And every time I hear i wanna dance to SOPHIE, I want to sing i wanna dance with CHARLI.

Thank you Charli for the style you shared, it was an unforgettable year for your acid green tsunami, thank you for 3 milk-coloured vinyl without a bonus track with Kesha 😭💜💜💜

BRAT 4EVER.
