Here are the songs I liked the best in 2010.
5. The Congregation of Discalced Clerks - Mugwump
4. History - Groove Armada featuring Will Young
3. BTSTU - Jai Paul
The Guardian said: “Imagine Crystal Castles holding a disco inside an early-80s Atari computer console with the entire crew of George Clinton’s Mothership”. If Gaga looks like the new Madonna, this could be the new Prince.
2. Baltimore - Turzi
Simply excellent. You should also watch the video at NME. Vocals by Bobby Gillespie.
1. It’s a tie!!
Yes I Do - Monika
and
Odessa - Caribou
I just thought that both songs talk about promises that are never fulfilled.
Yes I Do is the heart-wrenching fear that everything beautiful will somehow end while Odessa is the realisation that it has ended and the repercussions that follow. Just listen at the end of both songs and you’ll see.
Now, the rest, in no order:
- 4th of July (Fireworks) - Kelis
- MindReader - Kingdom featuring Shyvonne
- Antidote - Style of Eye & Magnus the Magnus
- Soldier of Love - Sade
- Kiss ‘n Hold - Burns
- Neckbrace - Ratatat
- Coma Cat - Tensnake
- General Motors, Detroit, America - Acid Washed
- Baptism - Crystal Castles
- Calypso - Round Table Knights
