2021 Songs So Far - NOMINATIONS

Post by Schüttelbirne »

Last year we had a tournament determining our favorite song from the first half of the year. Our champion was Jessie Ware's "Spotlight" which ended up on #4 of our EOY list. (It also beat our eventual #1, "Kyoto", in the first round)

Now it's time again for your favorite songs of 2021 to compete against each other.

Please send me a PM with a ranked list of 10 songs you would like to see in the tournament.
The songs have to be new releases from 2021. I am also willing to accept singles from 2020 that were released on 2021 albums, as long as they didn't make an impact on our EOY list last year. (Don't even think about nominating "Sunglasses")

There will be 64 songs in the tournament. That means it will last 10 weeks.

Deadline is Tuesday, 13th July (tomorrow in a week). The tournament will start on Saturday, the 17th.

My PM was titled "2020 Songs". That should of course be "2021 Songs". :angry-banghead:

Damn, no How Not to Drown. I intentionally put it lower on my list figuring someone else would nominate it. A lot of good ones in here though! And many unfamiliar ones to discover. I'm excited for this.

I've listened to almost all of these now. Mileswide, I believe "Pearl Lakes | moments from a love i haven‘t lived" was your nomination. Is there a YouTube link to it? I can't find it anywhere on the internet.

If I may answer this:
It was indeed mileswide's nomination, and he referred me to this page: https://jackarthur.bandcamp.com/album/i ... self-vol-1
It's the third track there.
