Favourite Songs of 2023
| music
The Last Dinner Party is a revelation. I don’t think I’ve picked three songs from the same group since Chvrches way back in 2013.
Many thanks to my love for introducing me to them and Lola Young.
- The Last Dinner Party - Nothing Matters
- Benjamin Gibbard, Tom Howe - Frightening Fishes
- The Last Dinner Party - Sinner
- LP - One Like You
- The Last Dinner Party - My Lady of Mercy
- Spanish Love Songs - Haunted
- Gretel - Cry Me A River
- Olivia Rodrigo - vampire
- Lola Young - Conceited
- Miya Folick - Get Out of My House
- Nation of Language - Spare Me the Decision
- Middle Kids - Highlands
- Dora Jar - Puppet
- English Teacher - Nearly Daffodils
- Nice Biscuit - I Feel Love
I don’t often list covers but Donna Summer’s original I Feel Love is one of the first songs I remember blowing my little mind as a kid, and Nice Biscuit’s version updates the sound while keeping the vibe. A good chill-out track.
Also, congratulations to Triple J listeners for finally picking a Mitski song in the Hottest 100! It’s not your fault that you didn’t vote for the best song of 2016 back in the day, that’s on JJJ for not even playing it. Maybe they had too many Like A Versions to promote.
