Friday's Chill Pick - 10/15/21...it's been a while

I said that I'd get this out today and I meant it. Anyway hello guys, welcome back to Fire's Flaming Hot Takes. And today, after a month on the backburner, Friday's Chill Pick is back! So what's our chill pick for today?

Kbubs f/Alisa - 2010
Release: July 2, 2021
Genre: EDM

Cover art for 2010 by Kbubs

Another chill pick, another pair of artists who have such a small profile that you can't find a single thing about them. Alisa has made a total of 3 songs so far and all of them have been collaborations. And I've loved all three of them. Anyway, she has teamed up with Kbubs for the second time - the first being "Missing You" - for this track which dropped this past summer, so what did we get? Well, honestly, this song is pretty amazing. It's an incredibly likeable and weirdly nostalgic track. There's a few hints of strings on this track, especially in that buildup before that drop. The beat is pretty damn good too. Also, we got that bassline in that chorus. It is absolute perfection. The synth and keyboard melody both sound very pretty and evoke that nostalgic feeling, which makes sense because the song is about reminiscing about the days spent with a lover in the year 2010. And Alisa absolutely nails her performance here, she has an amazing voice! This is an incredible song, especially when you take into consideration that both Kbubs and Alisa wrote this while reminiscing about the music from 2010. My only complaint is that I feel that more could've been done with this song! A proper final chorus would've really pushed this over the edge, but still, it's a very high 9/10 for me, definitely recommended.

The Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2024

  The Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2024 Hey everyone!! It’s Fire from Fire’s Flaming Hot Takes, and it’s that time of year again!! Today, we’re counting down the top 10 worst hit songs of 2024!! I can imagine a whole lot of you thinking right about now “Oh...I can’t wait for Fire to trauma dump his non-problems on us, oh joy.” I don’t want this article to come off as though this year was rough for me in any remote way, because that’s not even close to true. In fact, this was quite honestly one of the happiest years of my life so far and a very important year for me too, one where even the problems I did wind up facing, they felt much easier to handle. I’ll explain a little more about this in my best list, but yeah, this was a great year for me...and for the Hot 100 for that matter actually. It was a year that seemed to right a lot of the wrongs we made with 2023’s pop music. I’m gonna use Spectrum Pulse’s 2023 worst list intro as a bit of a template for this but...annoyed that rap had...

  The Top 10 Best Hit Songs of 2024 Hey, what’s up everyone? It’s Fire back on Fire’s Flaming Hot Takes and it’s that time of year again! Today, we’re looking at the top 10 BEST hit songs of 2024!! So last year I expressed that I can’t shoebox an entire year into one sentiment of “good” or “bad” because it ends up ignoring the other side of the coin. But with 2024, I don’t think that’s the case, because as mentioned in my worst list, 2024 is a year that all around turned out to be one of the happiest years of my life so far and, for that matter, one of the best years of my lifetime for pop music. And I’m pretty aware that some of the reviews in this article are likely gonna paint this year as worse for me than it actually was. And that’s the thing, I associate music deeply with certain emotions I feel. Sometimes it’s in more of a positive way, but more often than not I associate music with negative times and how they really helped me in those moments, big or small. I’ve also had pr...

Albums Around The Fireplace 2024

  Albums Around The Fireplace 2024 So I did this last year and I had a ton of fun with it, so we’re back for round 2 (this time with a much better title lol)!! In this article, I’ll be briefly reviewing every single 2024 album I listened to (some of the albums will have longer reviews than others), with a few minor caveats; any deluxe version of an album from a previous year will not be covered here (I know I didn’t follow this rule last year when I covered emails i can’t send fwd: by Sabrina Carpenter but in my defense I had no clue that was a deluxe version of a 2022 album lmao). Any deluxe versions of albums released this year will be covered in the same review. And no albums from prior years here, even if I only listened to them for the first time in 2024. Overall, 2024 was a year where I think I really broadened my musical horizons and really stepped out of my comfort zone. I think this year might be the most albums I’ve listened to in one year. With that, get your marshmallo...
