Now that we are about to start our regular TSCs, it's time to check out the best entries of TSC 2015!
Notes:
- All songs sent in between TSC 189 to 225 are eligible
- This is based on my personal opinion. Please do not take any offense from what I think of. Strictly my own thoughts
- Contrary to some weird belief, I don't believe that my music taste is better than anyone else's. This list is for you all to have some fun and laugh at possible comments I make.
- I also include some of my own entries, but don't worry, I'm not that arrogant to have more than 10 entries about myself
40. Estelle - Conqueror
Sent in TSC194 by #Ianfitz0012, placed 6th with 76 points.
Usually ballads in stinkers are nothing else but useless shit with no use of any production. I was quite skeptical about this song at the start, as it had a typical slow pace, but the great buildup to this strong chorus is such a huge saving grace that it landed on this list of best songs. It's a nice change from the other R&B garbage Estelle had been doing prior to doing some Empire-related stuff, it's never too late!
39. Meg Myers - Sorry
Sent in TSC210 by #Insanity, placed 1st with 132 points.
The whispery-alike vocal may throw you off on the first listen, but once you get used to it, the song is really like something you've never heard before. The slick production is one thing, but the fact that whoever produced this song was able to pull off the eerie-sounding effects into something quite fantastic is extraordinary. And Meg's vocals just adds another layer of uniqueness to this.
38. Vanic x Machineheart - Circles
Sent in TSC189 by #PrincessTeePee, placed 10th with 64 points.
I did not particularly enjoy this at first, I thought that this was quite messy after all. However, I would later come across this again in the TSC Best Of and I found it absolutely brilliant from the production standpoint. Vanic really did a great job at creating noises that actually suited well to the structure that already appeared in the original version of this song. It sounds so quirky and fresh at the same time - the more you listen to it, the more you enjoy it.
37. Disclosure - Magnets (feat. Lorde)
Sent in TSC221 by #Codydehart, placed 4th with 77 points.
I was quite surprised that this song kind of flopped on the charts, but on the other hand, this song actually sounds like something that would typically do well in TSC, and I wasn't wrong on that. Lorde's involvement for once does not sound as if she was forced to sing - it sounds smooth, and the usual great quality of production from the guys of Disclosure makes "Magnets" their best release so far.
