hopes for 2021
ones of look out for in 2021 : videoclub. a cute french byf & gyf whose influences are from the 80s. i'm hoping they don't lose their authenticity once the record labels get involved and start marketing them as an hideous 80s pastiche.

music of the year 2020
i think we can all agree that 2020 was pretty shit.
thankfully ,music got me through lots of the year.
it's my usual mix of french, scandanavian, pop and dance.
if you have anything to recommend to me, let me know!
so, in no particular order, here are my favourites of 2020:

JANE BIRKIN - OH! PARDON TU DORMAIS
JANE BIRKIN - A MAREE HAUTE
who would have thought, right at the end of year that jane would release one of her best albums...ever. brilliantly produced by etienne daho, it is intimate, honest and beautiful. you can hear the influences of gainsbourg & vannier but really it is janes lyrics that make this something special.

KYLIE - DISCO
KYLIE - MISS A THING
no official video - so here is one of my fave songs set to saturday night fever. this disco is more lush strings and hand claps than throbbing moroder beats. but it is so so good. a total earworm

ITALIANS DO IT BETTER - AFTER DARK 3
JOHNNY JEWEL -SURGERY (FEATURING GLÜME)
a brilliant compilation album from the coolest record label around. italians do it better is a melting pot of 80s synth, italo-disco, nu-disco, david lynch and movie soundtracks. also on the album you'll find farah, chromatics, double mixte and a fantastic cover of vivien vees 'higher'

ASTRID S - LEAVE IT BEAUTIFUL
ASTRID S - MARILYN MONROE
astrid s has been around for a few years. she's worked hard since competing on 'norwegian idol' in 2013, releasing e.p.'s and collabs and now has finally released her first album. if you put this together with most of her previous work the end result is a solid mix of pop tunes full of catchy hooks.

DALIDA - OLYMPIA 81
DALIDA - CHANTEUR DES ANNEES 80
ok, so this album may be 40 years old but it is sooooo good. a perfect mix of heartfelt drama, emotional ballads and the occasional nod the 80s pop sound. if you get the chance, check out her biopic too - i felt devastated by the end of it. finally got this album on vinyl too!

DAGNY - STRANGERS/LOVERS
DAGNY - SOMEBODY
like astrid s, dagny hails from norway and has also been around a few years, releasing various songs and collabs. finally releasing her album in 2 parts - the total of this and most of her other songs make for a great throbbing set of pop tunes.

DUA LIPA - FUTURE NOSTALGIA
DUA LIPA - BREAK MY HEART
how would we have got through lockdown #1 without dua blaring out of the speakers? an album dedicated to dancing was especially helpful at the bleakest of times

ALLIE X - CAPE GOD
ALLIE X - FRESH LAUNDRY
continuing with her dark edged pop sounds, allie went to new places on cape god. an icon for those who feel like they don't fit in. supremely talented and brilliant live. now, where's my eyebrow bleaching kit?

EMPRESS OF - I'M YOUR EMPRESS OF
EMPRESS OF - GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE
despite this being her third album, i'd never heard of her before - but what a find! honest explorations on difficult relationships, empowerment and with spoken words from her mum sharing her experiences about coming to america make for a really interesting and vibrant album. funky beats, housey vibes, latin flavours. give it a go
