A
What a year, it’s been for music! Although the industry is still influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, so many talented artists were able to put out hit songs, and music videos this year. Here are some of the best ones!
“Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)”— Doja Cat
It has taken Doja Cat many years to become an artist capable of critical respect. Planet Her is one of her most breathtaking albums released, and among so many standout tracks (歌曲), “Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)” takes the lead. With a tasty hook, soft and comforting disco atmosphere, the song deserves all the recognition it has gotten.
“Easy On Me”—Adele
Adele made her long-awaited return this year. Her track “Easy On Me” broke the world record for the most streamed song in 24 hours, with 24 million streams. Adele is the queen of ballads, and we. love “Easy On Me” for its subtle soul sounds, daring vocals, and heartfelt message about asking for forgiveness from our loved ones.
“Happier Than Ever”—Billie Eilish
Talented artists like Billie Eilish only come once in a generation. We believe “Happier Than Ever” is to Eilish what “Bohemian Rhapsody” is to Queen. Sure, maybe the former song isn’t as rock-heavy or revolutionary as the latter, but it is similarly emotional, vocally impressive, and a song we think will remain as a “classic” in years to come.
“Butter”—BTS
If the Beatles brought the “British Invasion” to the U. S. in the 60s, BTS is bringing the Korean Wave in the 2020s. This year, the beloved K-pop group’s “Butter” broke so-many records, and it’s hard to keep track. What makes the song so tasty is its sweet and playful atmosphere, amusing lyrics, and ability to show each group member’s unique personality. Because of that, it easily became a smooth summer anthem, which gives us a reason to smile, dance, and sing for a change.
