1. King Krule - “Border Line”
An excellent song from one of my favorite album discoveries this year, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon. Probably one of the more up-tempo, good mood songs on the record, this served as my introduction to King Krule. I recommend this as a first listen as well for others looking to get into the artist. 2. Tame Impala - “Borderline” The standout single (for me) from Tame Impala’s 2020 album The Slow Rush, this song is incredibly hard not to love from any standpoint. With a typically infectious drum pattern as well as angelic vocals from Kevin Parker, this one fits in well on the shelves upon shelves of Tame classics. 3. Solange - “Borderline (An Ode to Self Care)” Beautifully blending trap drums and synth runs with her own harmonic singing (with help from A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip), Solange shows how well she is able to play off of her production with her singing, and vice versa. Standing as a great representation of an album that ranks among the greatest of 2016, this one will forever be special to me.

Final Score: Is This It - 7 Room On Fire - 4 Winner: Is This It Easiest decisions: Tracks 6 and 7 Hardest decisions: Tracks 2 and 5 Fun fact: Track 3 on each of these 2 albums begins with “soma.” In “Soma,” the actual word “soma” is said, whereas in “Automatic Stop,” the song begins with “So many.” Additionally, in “Soma,” the phrase “Stop and go” is interpolated heavily throughout the chorus. |
