Favorite pop song from the last 10 years?

What's your favorite pop song from the last 10 years (2011-present)?

by Anonymousreply 94February 18, 2021 11:01 PM

It's a three-way tie between:

"King of Anything" - Sara Bareilles

"Titanium" - David Guetta feat. Sia

"Dream" - Bishop Briggs

I don’t listen to pop music nearly as much as I did when I was younger but the first song that popped into my head was Audra Day’s “Rise Up.” Always happy to hear it — I even like the cover their using for the new Indeed Super Bowl spot.

Speaking of Andra, this Diane Warren song has a classic vibe.

I can’t think of a single pop song. And the only album, released in the past 10 years, I like is Sufjan Steven’s “Carrie & Lowell”. Pop music has dumbed down to such a profound degree, it’s depressing.

Oh, and apparently, Bareilles' "King of Anything" was released in 2010, and not 2011. But I included it anyway. Because it's fucking great. And so is "Uncharted", from the same album. That whole album is really good.

Safe & Sound - Capitol Cities (2011)

I never tire of the video or the song. Most videos don't have any creativity or budget nowadays. It's just a live ego driven performance put on tape. Ho hum.

The song always gets my toes tapping & the video really comes alive for me at the 1:28 mark when the 70s/disco era kicks in.

A great statement about humanity's love of both war & peace with all of the fallout from both =
