Samad Savage, J.1.DA & Solis) He was have one of the best undergroup rap I've heard for quite a while by a bunch of artists who I will probably never hear of again. What I really liken about this one is the interplay between the four MCs. I love it when rappers perform collaboratively like this instead of just each having a verse. You never know when the next guy is going to take over so it's always fascinating. Solis breaking into Spanish in his raps is so satisfying too.

This is another massive bop from what was certainly one of the best pop albums of the year. This one has a great groove and there's some lovely little touches in the instrumentation at the end that I really enjoy.

As you can see with this (and every other track) being in my top 20 most played of the year, I absolutely rinsed 'Born Pink'. This is Blackpink's attempt at a synth-pop track with the production definitely being the stand-out part. Rosé and Jisoo both receive writing credits on this one.

Lucky Daye) Ari Lennox has one of my favourite voices in R&B so she's always someone I make sure to check out when she releases and the stand-out from her latest album is this duet with Lucky Daye that mixes traditional styles of R&B with lots of spoken adlibs and interludes where Daye tries to chat Ari up. Their harmonies sound beautiful but the lyrics are also often hilarious which gives this such a fun vibe. Well worth a listen.

Central Cee) Central Cee's EOY History: 2020 81 Loading 2021 80 Obsessed With You 2022 83 Overseas (D-Block Europe feat. Central Cee) I thought it might have been hampered by it's peak in my chart being in 2021 but Overseas has held up enough to became D-Block's first EOY placer since they had two in their debut year of 2019. The amount of stick Young Adz & Dirtbike LB get on here is a bit ridiculous. Young Adz at his worst is still a lot better than some of the other artists that frequent the charts. Overseas is just a legitimately great song. The hook is insane and about as catchy and you can hope for. There's a reason this hung around the top 10 for so long. Central Cee continues his streak of getting a song that ends in the high 80s in my EOY chart. Looks set for a #82 hit next year.

Anderson .Paak) Coast is a summery anthem from Hailee that seemed to come and go without leaving much of an impact. It sounded great in the sun on my holiday to Barcelona and that's the memories that it's always going to be associated with for me. I am starting to feel like Hailee will never release any other tracks that I love as much as the holy trinity run of Starving/Most Girls/Let Me Go but she remains to be one of my favourite actors (I honestly feel like I could say that her Kate Bishop is already my favourite character in the MCU). I've recently been taking advantage of my expiring Apple TV+ trial by watching 'Dickinson' in which she excels in the titular role.

The mix of genres and the strings give it its own fresh sound whilst remaining a nostalgic listen. Charli has described it as her 'sexiest' song and I can see it. I thought it was a bit too simple at first but it really clicked with me late after the albums released and now it's one of the tracks I look forward to hearing the most.

Kelly Price) Kelly Price's EOY History: 2022 80 Couldn't Be Done (Freddie Gibbs feat. Kelly Price) For the opening track on his '$oul $old $eperately' album, Gibbs recruited the iconic voice of Biggie's 'Mo Money Mo Problems' Kelly Price to bless us with another beautiful rap chorus and it really forms the basis of what is brilliant about this track. Gibbs's verse is fine, it's nowhere near his strongest on the album, but the vocals on the last chorus makes everything else completely irrelevant. Gibbs's little voice break when he attempts to sing the hook is surprisingly charming and gives the track extra personality. This is an epic way to open an album.

The lyrics reflect on JID's childhood dreams of fortune and fame and the kids choir in the chorus (huge We Don't Care vibes) sounds great and works so well to put you right in the middle of the story. I didn't actually realise that this has an official video now so I'm off to give that a watch.

Less Than Zero has been made the 4th single from the album but is yet to catch on despite sounding like it has huge hit potential. I think maybe he's just overdone the synth sound. I have to admit, despite really loving this track, I haven't really gone back to it much since early last year.

This song borrows the melody from Nelly's 'Ride With Me' but feels completely different. In a year full of obvious samples, it's weird just how underplayed this one is. It's a bit slower than her best songs of the year but it's no less catchy. Tate has a further four entries to come.

This is a fairly soft, acoustic ballad but her soothing singing style really shines and she manages to make it sound quite cool. This is one I'm expecting to be great live.

The first time I heard this, I was really wondering if it was meant to be serious. The first thing you will notice about this song is the weird voice he decides to uses to perform the verses. It's certainly a choice but when you get used to it, it becomes what makes the song. He goes back to his traditional buttery tone for the chorus but you spend the time counting down to the garble-dy vocals again. The lyrics are classic Weeknd about needing a toxic lover and his addiction issues.
January 4, 20232 yr Author 73. Tate McRae - What's Your Problem?

Despite only landing a few places ahead of 'Don't Come Back', I'm loving this one a lot more at the moment and think by next year, there will rank well apart in my affections. The chorus hasn't aged a day for me.

This is only the 2nd track (so far) to get an official video but that hasn't effected it much for me because I've only watched it once so far. This is definitely one of the catchiest moments on Midnights using imagery of jewellery to represent rediscovering confidence in yourself.

So, we had to have some representation from the album here and and so four tracks from that album join Madison's recent four new releases in my EOY Top 100. This song is ostentatiously about feeling empty at the end of a relationship but it's descriptions of depression really hit home.
