Gorillaz - The Mountain
89

To be honest, I cried listening to “The Mountain.”
It's about grief, about memory, about accepting death, about the afterlife, about transcendence.
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett recently experienced the loss of family members, which led to a trip to India, a place where Hinduism and Buddhism deal differently with themes such as death and rebirth.

Speaking of the Clipse, Pusha T has been very consistent since the beginning of his solo career, and here is no different, ... read more

Benson Boone - American Heart
50

Benson Boone has been on the radio a lot here in the last few months and, like a lot of the stuff that's been on the radio recently (driven by social media), I had already imagined the form that “American Heart” would take.
And it has exactly the shape of the radio, the lyrics are simple, the choruses long enough for your aunt who listens to the radio making food to remember, and the production that sometimes tries for something a bit more interesting doesn't quite get ... read more
