"Caste" "in the sun is attached"

The fifth disc “caste” was created as a record for the Rostov rappers - one year, but what! On it, in abundance, for which we love and appreciate them - from the protest lyrics, you will get a bit to a corporate foolishness. In the latter case, everyone on the shoulder blades lays a number in which the quartet is ridiculously carruples the Latvian language and puppet for the composition of Raymond Pauls 1978. The first stadium concerts of the group were announced to the exit of “ink”. It remains only to hope that the pandemic will allow these plans to be realized.

Taylor Swift and Haim "No Body, No Crime"

The second time in the year, Miss American surprises fans with a tank album. But if the first “Folklore” fell straight to the tops of the best records of the 2020, then “Evermore” will rather remain in memory as a pleasant but optional addition to it. However, there will also be excellent songs - for example, this joint track with the Haim sisters, he is also a ready plot for a “real detective”.

The Avalanches with the participation of MGMT and Johnny Marr "The Divine Chord"

Oligarkh, Mstr.frei and Yura Muzychenko "Zudwa"

The Hatters leader, together with St. Petersburg electronic workers, turns the uncomfortable hardcore of the legendary “chimera” into a straightforward stadium rave. In a strange way, this tribute works, at least from the point of view of perpetuating the underground cult of the 1990s in mass memory. Witnesses of the Tamtam club, however, will still be unhappy.

"Dog Lie" "Millennial"

Ironous hymn manifest for generation of Zumers. And, of course, an important replenishment among the “new sincere” girls with guitars - Daria Miklashevich, Welcome to the Club!

Ten years later, the American rapper nevertheless decided to complete the “Man on the Moon” trilogy, which brought him his first fame. The most pleasant and unexpected fit on the album is a duet with the main indie singer of the year.

"ABOUT! Margo "" Cold "

19-year-old Margot Lebedeva demonstrates extremely combat creative attitude-presenting the second record for a year, she is already working on the third in Daniil Shayka. And if the April debut of “bad words” looked partly student, then in the December “jeans of the older brother” already plenty of and glossy priests (see “by” ) and commercial house (see the capital “Material “ jeans ” ), which, with proper promotion, may not crawl out of all kinds of charts. It is better, however, a delicate lyrics for laconic bits and an electric guitar work.
