Now release 'Leave Your Lover' you sillybean.

 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I read an interview a while ago where he said there'd only be one more single after 'I'm Not The Only One' so unless he/the label change their minds, it's time for you to let go I'm afraid. :cry:

O :nocheer:

 

Well maybe if i keep pestering everyone here about how it should be a single, he'll see it and decide to release it anyway :thinking:

I’ve been saving all my summers for you

 

 

23. Marina & the Diamonds - Froot

 

 

WHAT a comeback. Ha froot was certainly fresh. A humongous debut pick from Marina's upcoming album (which hopefully lives up to this and becomes one of my sounds of 2015). The song is zany and manages to throw in every fruit pun possible, but within all of the madness, it just works. There is something so incredibly uplifting and fun that it dominated my airwaves for weeks after it got released. The video was a bit of a disappointment - i spent many a shower time imagining and recreating the video in my head and so when we eventually got the visuals i was somewhat gutted that my own ideas didn't come into fruition. But the sounds, which are what matter here, did not disappoint in the slightest and it's so good to have her back <3

Should be higher. -_-

Froot! SLAY MARINA :mansoncheer:

I never really "got" this song. her previous material is so much better

I've got to make you mine

 

 

22. Trevor Something - All Night

 

 

We return to Espen for our next entry. A very funky, 'Get Lucky' sounding song that won me over in the contest but continued to grow on me throughout the year. The whole concept of Trevor Something - his aesthetics, songs, lyrics and styling are so retro and cool and nostalgic. This song is my clear favourite from him. I love how you are instantly taken to seedy night clubs or ghostly settings, in those retro movies you've seen and only dreamt about visiting. A very dreamy experience, there are little songs that have such an affect on me and make me imagine beyond what i am usually able to. I love when music is able to transport you to another place and time, and this song does it effortlessly. I struggle to explain exactly how it affects me, so just listen and see what it does to you~

Let’s split the night wide open and we’ll see everything

 

 

12. One Direction - FOUR

 

Ready To Run / 18 / Night Changes

 

 

One Direction's most mature album to date and easily their best for me. An album that shows maturity not only in the songwriting but the entire concept and sound. They've ditched the sprightly pop of the former records for a warmer more natural sound here and it really pays off. I knew they were on to something special when i heard the lead single. The follow up took its time to grow on me, but it's now a firm favourite of mine. On the album, songs such as 'Ready To Run' and 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go' show a beautiful, friendly side to the band, and reminds us how mellow they all once were. There are lovely ballads throughout too, especially '18' but overall the album shines in the personality offered by the five-piece. They have come a long way in the past few years, but it's admirable to see that even following the peak of their huge global success, they are able to stand back from it all and create a well accomplished, mature album without breaking down under the pressure. They seem to be going from strength to strength with each album which is rare to see, so i'm still excited for their future!

21. Banks – Brain

 

 

Just missing out on the all important top 20 is a song that ate into my brain for a good portion of the year. Banks's freaked out, warped vocals and crazed lyrics make for her most interesting song to date. An incredible powerhouse of moans and groans while always remaining classy, it's a talent for her to come across so deranged yet so in control of herself and her voice and her thoughts at the same time. But away from these tricks, there is a very rich song; one about power and loss and dominance and one where she flips traditional thoughts and ideas to present the truth. It's a power-ballad gone wrong, but it's oh so right.

I've recently gotten into Steal My Girl as a track, might have to check out FOUR. Definately gonna check out youe top 3

one direction have actually been amazing this era, not a single dud on the album. good highlight choices there too, all are very good although i think mine are where do broken hearts go/no control/stockholm syndrome. spaces is v good too

Rejuvenated, recreated, rebooted, in a new program

 

 

11. Kid Cudi - SATELLITE FLIGHT: The journey to Mother Moon

 

Balmain Jeans / Going to the Ceremony / Too Bad I Have To Destroy You Now

 

 

Narrowly missing out on the top 10, and the highest solo male album of the year for me :o is Kid Cudi who here returns following the fiery 'Indicud' to resume the trilogy of the Moon. The album is an incredibly dark and twisted fantasy ride, that really feels as it if it is taking you to the moon and beyond. Scattered throughout it are daring instrumental tracks which go about establishing the setting of the album - it's otherworldly. But where the album shines, is in the vocal moments of Cudi, as it's his lyrics which speak louder than anything. In moments such as 'Balmain Jeans' and 'Too Bad I Have To Destroy You Now', Cudi is the monster, searching for his prey. It's a highly established piece of music that continues between each track never letting go. A difficult listen, but so rewarding when you can get into it and take the journey. I love the futuristic sounds that he's employed throughout the album - you're never quite sure what you're listening to, but you know that it's affecting. The atmosphere of the album is unlike any other this year and it makes for the perfect end to the journey of the Man on the Moon.

Big Girls Cry is a beauty, her album was surprisingly good (and JUST missed my EOY albums top 20) but this was definitely one of the highlights. Froot also turned out to be a HUGE grower after really not being sure initially.

One for the STATS fans, just noticed Kid Cudi ended up in the same position last year too *_*

For whatever reason, this countdown inspired me to start listening to My Everything last night - I do very much like One Last Time, as you also do.

'FOUR'. :wub:

 

That's all I have to say at the moment. x
