My favorite Romance songs from the past year.
Paid-only
Pete Christianson
Julia Stone and This Love arrive sounding quietly inevitable.
When the day needs a little steadiness, Radin has the right pace.
Madi Diaz and "Love You Now" land like a fresh bruise: plainspoken.
The Boat People turn Antidote into the kind of discovery.
Fruit Bats land “When U Love Somebody” like a tune.
The production feels clean and slightly glossy.
Right the Stars and “We Got It All” feel like the kind of find.
The chorus lands with effortless confidence.
The vocal sits close and dry, so every hook.
The hook lands like a grin you can hear.
The song sounds bigger than the room you hear it.
The mix leaves room for air, so the hook glows instead of shouting.
My favorite Mellow songs from the past year.
Paid-only
Late-night bus rides and wet pavements.
Noah And The Whale turn L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
