Best of 2022 - Songs
This year sampling came back and I’m grateful it did. More and more artists are using it in a clever way, which is great. Latino music also got a big part in 2022′s favorites and I’m happy for them. I’m still not really into many rap music, I think I just adore the old-school ‘90s style of rapping. Less anger, more melody, more instruments.
01. Tove Lo - 2 Die 4 - “You don't look like in your photo. You're prettier than that. Now I kinda wish that you said so. Would've put in more effort ...” Oh, I feel her pain. I hate online dating apps so much.
02. Rosalia + The Weeknd - La Fama
03. Marlon Williams - Don’t Go Back
04. Royksopp + Jamie Irrepressible - Sorry - This song always makes me cry no matter what.
05. Josef Salvat - The Drum
06. The Smile - Speech Bubbles
07. Tove Lo - No One Dies From Love - “ We were so magical, why end this way? I know you're furious, yeah, just like me. You got good reasons, but I do too. What really happened here? I wish I knew...” Exactly what happened this year with me.

11. Thomas Azier - Pelechian

14. Belle and Sebastian - Unnecessary Drama
15. Blaue Blume - Country- “Wanna be a part of the hype, But I’m loosing balance. Fuck it I’m done trying to hide. Faking that smile. I just wanna go for a ride, Out of this city, When you put on “Wuthering Heights”. I can’t help flying...”
16. Charlotte Adigery + Boris Pupul - Ceci n’est pas un cliche - Best gig I have been in this year. Unforgettable.

The songs of Young Royals - S2 E1
Here we go for season 2!! More songs so hopefully even more interesting stuff to analyze ^^
Brainfreeze, XVOTO
When I die
...
All the voices in my head
Tell them how it went and tell them not to miss me much
...
Live forever
...
Is it God that you see?
The song starts when Wilhelm is in Erik's room, while he burns the picture of his brother and August. It's fitting that the lyrics are partly about death, about telling people not to miss the dead person. Wilhelm misses Erik so much though. This is a good choice for a season that is going to be a lot about grieving. And the "Is it God that you see?" when we get to August sending messages to Wilhelm asking him to forgive him: yeah, will there be a redemption for you?
Aldrig igen, Omar Rudberg (Cherrie & Stormzy)
Being alone, I'm the strongest
It's never happening again
...
Because I don't wanna feel like this
I don't wanna feel like this
I don't wanna feel like this
Who would wanna feel like this
...
It won't happen again
So I discovered during this analysis that it is not a little snippet of a song that Simon created but the cover of an actual Swedish song ^^ He sings it while Marcus is listening in his back. The song reflects completely what Simon is feeling: the break up happened just before the Christmas break, so not that long ago, and he's still feeling so heartbroken. But he doesn't want to keep feeling that way, he doesn't want this painful situation to happen again (seems fateful that it is when Marcus enters the picture: Simon says it there, he will not fall in love and get his heart broken again, so too bad for you Marcus, but you will not get a love story here! Simon will say it himself later on in the season "why can't I fall in love with him?"). The entire song is actually super interesting lyrics-wise because it's about getting over a break up, feeling betrayed by someone who lied, and deciding that you actually deserve better. "Please stop stressing me, I need to breathe... First you wanna leave, now you wanna stay?": it's really about an ex who doesn't know what he wants and keeps changing his mind, changing the rules. Which is what Wilhelm is kinda doing (saying it's not him in the video to the world but then coming to Simon to ask to keep things going, and the the whole beginning of this season where he's gonna try to get Simon's back even though his situation hasn't changed).
So yeah these 2 first songs of the season are really fitting to both characters and a very good idea of what the season is gonna be about : angry and grieving Wilhelm vs heartbroken, betrayed (but trying to find his boundaries) Simon
Bang, Cat Clark & Mega
We ain't never stepping down
...
I'ma run laps round all you rats
Pretty fitting for Sara finally entering the privileged life of Hillerska. With all these students from rich family who will never "step down", who will keep the status quo, keep looking down on people who are not from their world.
Ripe, Flavia
No need to go to work unless I'm working on your body
Hold you up, lay you down, staying up 'til the morning
Working hard in the sheets, we could stay here for a week
No need to go to work 'less I'm working on your body
A song with very suggestive lyrics, which less very little to the imagination about what the students are gonna get up to at this party ^^' "Ripe for the picking even when I'm not in season": can we also talk about Sara getting her initiation and being thrown into this classist privileged Hillerska life while still being an outsider? There lyrics feel like some kind of metaphor for her wanting so badly to be integrated, to feel ready for that. Or to think she's ready for that, while the reality might not be the same.
Love isn't love, Carola
Stranger, you came into my life
Touched me with sweet sensation
...
And stranger, you cut me like a knife
...
It isn't right
It isn't real at all
It's just illusion
A dream that will tumble and fall
The infamous karaoke "date". I like that the first sentences are sung by Marcus, because yes he got immediately interested in Simon after meeting him. But then he passes the mic to Simon who has to sing "cut me like a knife" and, he doesn't know it yet, but Marcus is quite toxic in the end. He is not gonna treat him well at all, not gonna respect him and his boundaries. Their "relationship" is not gonna help him or heal him at all, it's just gonna hurt him. And we cannot ignore the very (NOT) subtle lyrics when Wilhelm watches the Insta story of them singing: "it's not real". Because it's not. It's not a date. It's not love. It's nothing. And yeah, he's gonna be under the "illusion" of them being together and happy, but it's nothing more than that, an illusion. (And special mention to Wilhelm going feral and threatening the whole monarchy because his ex-boyfriend is on a date: Wilhelm baby, I love you so much!)
Seize the power, Yonaka
Woke up this morning
I feel so fucking important
I look in the mirror
I'm different
I finally made a decision
...
They hurt you and make you feel helpless
They're not brave like you
They're too scared to do
Anything that's different
Anything that's new
I don't need lessons
I do what I want it's refreshing
...
Hey there how you've been?
I'm the voice in your head
And I know you've been aching
When you find me let me in
I got power in my hands and it's yours for the taking
So this song is for the end credits of the episode but it's an amazing one and so important!
We just saw Wilhelm yell at his mother and threaten the Courts because he doesn't want to be Crown Prince, doesn't want the responsibilities, doesn't want to be a puppet to them, doesn't want to sacrifice Simon and their relationship. And the first lyrics feel fitting: he's mad (and the lights in this bedroom are red and twisty: what better image to represent the rage coiling inside of him at this moment?), he "woke up" after being faced with the reality of the consequences of his lying about the sex tape. With the reality that Simon is on a date with someone else. And gosh yeah, these people, your own mother, they hurt you so badly and made you feel helpless. Making you follow their orders with not agency of your own. But you're gonna be so brave, and different, and strong!
I love the chorus "I'm the voice in your head" because he's angry and screaming and threatening but nothing is very effective in the end (we'll see that next episode). He doesn't seem to have power yet. But if he listens to the little voice inside, if he takes the time to do that (and he will! Thanks to Boris for helping him doing some introspection and realizing things), he will realize that the power is here, deep inside him. That the strenght to do what's right for him, for Simon, well he has it. He just needs to close his eyes, reach inside and "take it"

HARD FEELINGS, the new collaborative project of Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and Amy Douglas, have signed to Domino and unveiled their debut outing 'Holding On Too Long' which is teamed with a Katie Paul-directed video. Douglas says of their debut single, "'Holding On Too Long' is the common denominator of the entire musical union of Amy and Joe. In this "opera of sad bangers" here is its key aria, its "Un Bel Di" from Madame Butterfly or the "Mad Scene" from Lucia Di Lammermour, the unforgettable moment of the story wherein our heroine stands up defiantly and has her moment to wail, scream and cry her pain and fury centre stage to the world." HARD FEELINGS was formed after Goddard reached out to Douglas on Twitter after hearing her work, and simply asking: "Amy, can we make a thing?" [via Line Of Best Fit]

After recently announcing her debut album Flaw Flower is due June 25 via Illegal Data, London-based musician Harriet Zoe Pittard, aka Zoee, is sharing another slice of her multi-faceted art-pop sounds with her new single'Host'. Speaking about the track, Zoee said "‘Host’ describes the disconcertingly replicant-like nature of a once starry-eyed lover who becomes increasingly detached. The video is inspired by The Twilight Zone and was shot on location in a forest close to where I grew up in Berkshire."
youtube
Nashville-based songwriter Madi Diaz releases 'Nervous,' a new single about recognizing unhealthy coping mechanisms. The song’s frank lyrics are bellied by infectious guitar and Diaz’s buoyant voice: “I know why I lie to myself // I’m not really looking to get healthy // I have so many perspectives I’m losing perspective I make me nervous.” The accompanying video was shot in Nashville and directed by Jordan Bellamy. It was inspired by and includes an homage to the final scene of Andrei Tarkovsky's film The Stalker, a film that has always resonated with Diaz through its otherworldly nature, as well as its thoughtful and often anxiety inducing pace. “You know when you hold a mirror up to a mirror and you get an infinite amount of reflections from every angle? That’s what ‘Nervous’ is about,” says Diaz. “It’s when you’re in a loop of looking at yourself from every vantage point until you’re caught up in your own tangled web of bullshit. It’s about catching yourself acting out your crazy and you’re finally self-aware enough to see it, but you’re still out of your body enough and curious enough to watch yourself do it.”
youtube
Buzzy duo XVOTO have announced that their eagerly-awaited debut EP will be arriving on June 4 on One Two Many. Sharing new single ‘Friends’ alongside the news, Jazz Alonso explains that the track is rooted in “the people who have irreversibly changed you and then having to pretend you’re unphased by them when you’re in the same room. Meanwhile you’re trying to work out what your new boundaries are: can you talk about the past? Can you cry together? Can you show how much pain you’re in around them? ‘If you fish me, I’ll play dead’ means: if you make a move, I’ll pretend I’m dead inside and don’t want you back.” Accompanied by a new vid, Jazz adds, “For this video I always imagined an aquarium because of the fish lyrics and because I think looking at fish in a tank is a really nice symbol of looking back at a relationship: you’ll always have your take on it and feel you have control over that narrative cause it’s a memory, but the reality is that truth is fluid and moves. You’re not looking at an image, you’re looking at something that’s alive. Then the scenes of us getting tattooed on our backs are symbols for something beautiful that scars you - you might move on from something but it’ll still inform the way you move forward. In the video there’s some cheating, some reminiscing, some beauty and some pain.” [via DIY]
youtube
Ashe has released new cut 'Me Without You' as the latest singe off her debut album Ashlyn. It comes teamed with a Jason Lester-directed video. Ashe says of the new single, "'Me Without You' is my follow up to 'Moral Of The Story'. It's saying you thought that I needed you to be who I am. There is my past relationship...I had multiple people... You know, assumed that I needed them in my life to feel confident or to be me and "Me Without You" is just this record that's like, ‘Ooh, I am so good on my own'." [via Line Of Best Fit]

Mia Nicolai is a true internationalist. Born in Amsterdam to a Russian mother, she learned from a young age to move between languages and cultures, accepting them as equal. This all fuels her future-pop vision, a trans-genre approach laden with colour, one that picks from multiple sources. New single 'People Pleaser' is a surging, coherent, ultra-potent offering, a song that dwells on identity, and the processes by which it is defined. "This song is about the journey towards finding yourself," she explains. "It can be very difficult to be true to your inner values when all you do is please the people around you instead of your inner needs. I’ve always come across as a strong-minded person. But in reality, I’m capable of helping everyone BUT myself. At some point I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin that I couldn’t even breathe properly..." We're able to share the dazzling new video, directed by Isabelle Griffioen and produced by That’s What She Set. A surreal but completely engaging experience, it embodies everything Mia Nicolai sets out to do - put people on the back foot, and alert them to her presence. [via Clash]
youtube
Singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams has shared her poignant new single 'Mess It Up' and its accompanying video via Interscope Records. Directed by Matty Peacock, the video for 'Mess It Up' finds Abrams attempting to bake a cake and repeatedly dropping the gorgeously frosted final product on the ground. That bittersweet back-and-forth between determination and disappointment is a perfect match for Abrams’s incisive lyrics, which simultaneously convey a deep longing for forgiveness and an unshakable sense of frustration. Produced by and co-written with her frequent collaborator Blake Slatkin, the track’s stark guitar work and driving rhythms slowly take on a powerful momentum, ultimately building to a sweetly triumphant climax. [via Vacancy]
youtube
Vocalist and guitarist Maya Delilah shares the visuals for her new single 'Need A Word With Cupid'. The track unravels into a punchy number that gives you a hit of both dopamine and female empowerment. Written about realising your worth after a relationship breakup, Maya’s lyrics are little witty statements that we can all use to remind ourselves who the hell we are. “Last Tuesday morning I just realised you’re shit” – it’s the truth. The video sees her waiting in cupid’s reception ready to get her money back because, damn, this boy was not worth her energy. At. All. 'Need A Word With Cupid' is a brilliant narrative that’s not only relatable but also incredibly good. Brimming with smooth guitar tones and a catchy beat, this is a single that leaves you wanting so much more. A self-love anthem for the modern woman, 'Need A Word With Cupid' is an indie-pop bop. Maya says: “'Need A Word With Cupid' was written after my breakup when I felt a sudden hit of empowerment after the realisation that my ex was not worth another tear over. It’s an energetic and uplifting song with soul influences and of course a guitar solo to end.“ [via LOCK]
youtube
With her debut EP Digital Meadow arriving on May 28, Dora Jar is sharing the video for her single ‘Multiply’. “I am my truest form when I am changing shape, morphing sounds, and shifting my point of view,” she says of the forthcoming EP. “This project is an exploration of my impulse to shape-shift. That’s my ambition.” [via DIY]
youtube
Telenova's new-arriving single 'Tranquilize' makes it two-from-two for the band, deeper solidifying their rich blend of sounds while showing how it can move into further areas, taking on new energies - or emphasising other energies - as more songs come to light. 'Tranquillize', for example, has a heavier weighting on that live instrumentation, giving the song this more alt-pop-meets-R&B spin when combined with Angeline's brilliant-as-ever vocals. As she explains, the single was the first for Telenova, written on the day they began working with one another. "I was actually flicking through a thesaurus and the word ‘Tranquilize’ jumped out at me, it just rang so nicely on the tongue and was so inherently visceral," she says. "I was humming gibberish over the hypnotic Rhodes chords that Josh had laid down, and we heard what sounded like ‘Poseidon’s on the water’ - it was the first time in a writing session with Ed and Josh, and the first time I’d been in a writing session where a poetic, literary lyric idea like that wasn’t shunned and coined as ‘unrelatable’. It resonated. We followed the thread, playing into Siren mythology as a metaphor for falling in love - the power of attraction to transfix and tranquillize you." The single also arrives with an official video clip, directed by Angeline - solidifying her multi-talented craft. "I wanted to capture the world of the song in a Lynchian-inspired dreamscape - starry-eyed and a little unhinged - but like, David Lynch meets Gucci," she says. [via Pilerats]
youtube
International superstar P!nk has more than two decades of experience topping the global pop charts, and she is here to continue her reign with the new single 'All I Know So Far'. 'All I Know So Far' was produced by pop mastermind Greg Kurstin and co-written with the songwriting duo Benj Pasek & Justin Paul. The single comes off of her upcoming album All I Know So Far: Setlist, due out on RCA Records on May 21. The accompanying video for 'All I Know So Far' tells Pink’s life story with help from Cher, Judith Light, and Carey Hart. The visuals, directed by longtime collaborator Dave Meyers, also features an appearance from her daughter Willow. The new album will feature live recordings from her 2019 'Beautiful Trauma World Tour' along with a recording of her highly-buzzed MTV Video Vanguard Award acceptance speech. P!nk’s daughter Willow will also make an appearance on the album with the song 'Cover Me in Sunshine', which the singer previously shared back in February. [via Consequence]

XVOTO - Friends
Morning.
Here's something proper great from XVOTO.
You’ll likely not hear anything quite like this all week, as XVOTO get superbly intense in their latest dose of something from another realm. A truly engaging track with more twists than your favourite TV drama, you might be best fastening your seatbelt before settling in to this one.
With edges of St Vincent and your average superstar pop star, this feels intensely personal at times and you’re…

Good Girls 4x05 Soundtrack Review
Lmao yes you read that right... 4x05.
Songs that made me feel things?
This is gonna be a surprise to anyone who knows how I felt about the S3 instrumental score... but oh my god the echoey, pulsating score that takes over the background music at the diner when Rio shows up moments after Phoebe/Dave walk in and Beth’s internally panicking?! It reminded me of the ringing in Beth’s ears at the bar in 3x02/3x03 and it made me feel a LOT of things. Like, every muscle in my body was clenched because of the tension it added. My ass has never looked better.
Montage check! A wasted or taken soundtrack opportunity?
The opening sort-of-montage with Beth waiting for Rio and Phoebe/Dave getting her all wired up was paired with a mellow cover of ‘Louie, Louie’ by The Sandpipers. I can’t explain why, but it v much worked for me?! But then. THEN. We got THE BANKER MONTAGE. With an extremely ~taken~ soundtrack opportunity, which leads me to...
Bop/banger status?
BANGER CITY, POPULATION: BANKER BITCH.
Any memorable songs?
I mean, i haven’t stopped listening to ‘Mommy Can’t Sleep’ or thinking about Beth strutting around to it since 4x05 aired so!!!
Fave song from the episode?
I’LL LET YOU GUESS
*(but also, honorable mention to the score because I’m obsessed with what it did for the diner scene)
Least fave song from the episode?
I can’t name a single song from this ep that I disliked and I think that victory alone is worth not choosing a least fave!
How did the music fit with the episode’s ~vibe~?
EXTREMELY VIBE-Y. I don’t know what shifted, but every song worked with the scene it was paired up with in 4x05. Even the 60s-esque song choices (note: the ‘Louie, Louie’ cover is actually from the 60s, while ’Feel Good’ is from 2013, and ‘The Beacon’ is from 2020) fit the episode’s mood. AND we got a song in French, which I’m an absolute sucker for—especially since it was paired with Beth actively stepping back into a crime role.
I know I’ve given myself a bit of an ‘obsessed-with-bops-and-bangers-only’ reputation, BUT. That’s just because I miss their frequency. My obsession with the Good Girls soundtrack runs DEEP (so much so that, if you ever look at Tunefind for songs, I’ve written many of those scene captions hahaha I need a hobby). That said though, when I think of the gg soundtrack overall (depending on the episode/season, of course), it’s a perfect balance of:
bops/bangers
anything alternative/indie
French tunes
mega-FEELINGS!!-type songs
(S1/S2 had more hip-hop/rap, which I miss—but idk, I think the show’s vibe has shifted away from that). This is all basically to say: I LOVE that we still get the occasional song in French. It just...makes sense.
Wishlist/Manifest-The-Songs-You-Want List
Still waiting on a song that hits an emotional level that we haven’t reached in a v long time (a la ‘Walk Away’). And as always, some sort of alternative bop (like ’Something For Your M.I.N.D.’-adjacent)!
Overall ranking: MHMM YEP FEELIN’ IT/10
Episode Track Listing:
Louie, Louie - The Sandpipers
Bossa Nova Baby - Teddy Gold, Mi$HNRZ
Three Longers Later - Stereolab
Mommy Can’t Sleep - XVOTO
Feel Good - Sandy Szigeti
The Beacon - Benny Yurco
