Amy’s Top50 Songs of 2012
40. Mr. – Once in a Lifetime (人一世物一世)
It seems like… the Hong Kong music scene is also reviving itself! Say whatever you wanna say about indie acts, but as a person you gotta be happy when bands find a label and are able to make a comfortable living.
A few indie Hong Kong acts have found themselves with record deals this year. :)
Also… Mr. is a ridiculous name to name your band. It’s impossible to Google.
39. Dirty Projectors – About to Die [YouTube]
38. Christina Aguilera – Casa de mi Padre
The audio is crap in that intro, so here’s the audio [YouTube]. But it is as it was intended with the Casa de mi Padre visuals. Oh, Christina, why did you have to come out with that horrid Lotus album, when you can be so much better than that?
37. Florence + the Machine – Breath of Life [1]
36. Emily Wells – Becomes the Color
35. Fiona Apple – Daredevil [Xiami]
34. Mumford & Sons – I Will Wait [1]
33. B.A.P – Power
From all the new music that came out, only this year, from South Korea… I really dug how aggressive B.A.P’s Power came out sounding, and there’s even a spray break sequence, like WHO CAME UP WITH THAT IDEA?
I thought it was very pop-dance, rock-rap of itself. xD
You can get the 4-track mini-album on iTunes.
32. Foodie – Red Flash [Soundcloud]
31. Missy Elliot featuring Dr. Dre – 9th Inning [YouTube]
It’s the year of aggressive tracks, alright xD
You newcomers better sit back and take notes
This here my time
Here I come, better run, take what’s mine
whoa you listened to a lot of music! Really liking the cumbia tracks.
@Diandra Rodriguez, I know! And somehow it still feels like it’s not enough xD Anyway, let me know what you think of some of the other tracks :)
@amy, yeah, sometimes you find a lot of the best stuff from one year in the next! I’m going to have to check out more stuff by Clover.
@Diandra Rodriguez, Clover has a couple of songs only… that I know of. La Vida Loca is all sorts of fun xD
is there a playlist?
@GIACOMO, there isn’t… unless you count my iPod, since there’s no single place that has all the songs (in complete form). But I could try to put something together on YouTube
Marina & The Diamonds, Mika Nakashima, Fiona Apple, B.A.P, Kaela Kimura, Regina Spektor, St. Vincent, Big Bang, G-Dragon, Sa Ding Ding, Amanda Palmer & The Grand Theft Orchstra, Singer Sen, Ga In, Imogen Heap, Meisa Kuroki, Sunny Hill, holy crap – Faye Wong, too!?? (she’s my fave chinese singer, followed by Sa Ding Ding, Singer Sen and Shang Wenjie tying for 2nd place) – you did it again! We’re like music twins! :)
@Eri, Oh you should def. check out track 28 on the list. I think you’ll love Hamacide’s track with ChaCha. And we do seem like music twins! xD
