One of my favorite tracks of the year.

One of the best house bangers of the year.
🔥🔥🔥. Kehlani might be the dopest R&B singer out. She’s been putting out very good music over the past five years. She’s just one pop hit away from being a bona fide household name. But def deserves more credit as an R&B superstar.
Is there a better female dance-pop artist out right now? Yes, she’s helped by talented producers like Regard. But I don’t know any other artist putting out hot singles this consistently. Year. After Year.
Been a fan since she debuted in ’17.
This video came out two days after I featured it here.
The hardest track I’ve heard all year, all the way around starting from his vocals, the beat, the hook, and even just the concept of the song. He’s changing the game, putting the Brooklyn drill scene on the map and giving hip hop a much needed new original sound (one inspired by UK and Chicago drill).
Vastly underrated single.
Super-chill Bossa Nova playing in the background of a nice cafe vibe.
Love the transition from smooth Bossa Nova vibe to trapped out Bossa Nova banger.
Dope music video. Perfect collab.
It’s been outplayed by three other songs on his new six-track EP My Dear Melancholy, but let me call this standout what it is: another masterpiece by The Weeknd.
Another global dance hit by Kris Kross Amsterdam. Jorge Blanco killed it with his vocals.
To my R&B lovers, remember Vivian Green? Her song “Emotional Rollercoaster” from the early 2000s is a modern classic. This is her best single since then, featuring a sample of another classic. It’s too bad adult contemporary R&B doesn’t get the exposure and radio play it used to—this is a bona fide hit.
This is the kind of song I’ve been looking to hear from Daya since her Grammy-winning breakout performance on “Don’t Let Me Down.” She’s said that she wanted to continue to go in that indie/electronic pop direction, and after a couple singles that didn’t quite standout, she’s now delivered with her own epic single that fits her strong vocals.
I’ve already made it pretty clear what I think about this song. One of the best pop tracks of the year.Â
Here’s the video for “Havana.”
Most of you may have probably already heard this, so I’m featuring it here as a newly-released video.
Quietly one of the dopest hip hop tracks of this year. Production is A1, and while it may come off like a “Jumpman” knock-off, it’s more original than that. He did, after all, portray himself as Batman in 2014 at Kanye West’s wedding, and his laid-back flow exudes a confidence that contrasts well with the more intense and energetic braggadocio that’s also hot these day.
I’m featuring this to make the statement that Travis Scott is one of the Top 2 or 3 Hip Hop artists in the game today.
