Music, which we were pleased and disappointed in 2018

Artists who discussed

Monetochka

Lisa Gyrdymova from Ekaterinburg began recording uncomplicated songs to the accompaniment of the piano as early as 2015, but in 2018 truly unfolded: hitonosny recorded album, has participated in many major festivals and skated a great tour Soldiers-outs. It seems that at a certain point of Monetochke talking in general all, regardless of age and musical preferences. We cross our fingers and get ready to be surprised in 2019 - spring fuse "coloring for adults" for the coming year is not enough.

What to listen in Monetochki →

Face

Ivan Dremin appeared on the radar before 2018 primarily due to the uncompromising and beautiful in its hideousness texts to recite swinging Trap-bits. In the past year he has decided to forgive, to turn the game and release it with a serious ostrosotsialnoy lyrics. The plan did not work. Whether the listener does not believe abstract protest aimed to nowhere, or new aspirations author "Burger" is simply not perceived seriously, but the results are as follows: Torn tour and a discussion modest release, barely a week before doskochivshee mark.

At the end of the year again Face pereobulsya in flight and recorded the provocative track "Zemfira" with mate and traditional insults of the invisible enemy. And it seems that in this role, a rapper sounds much more convincing. What's next - will show 2019 first.

Huskies

Everything that made his career at Husky rap artist, a million questions. Questionable political views, in 2018 - the secondary musical ideas and clumsy attempts to grow into actionist in which the meaning of each performance was explained by the author up to the point. But the hero of our selection, he did not because of the work, although already locked video "Judas" was good in all respects, and even got to our subjective top Spring video.

People obviously have some power, we decided to use it for a number of artists, sometimes completely harmless. Laika became the unofficial martyr and the main victim of all this madness November, and after detention actor Busta, Oxxxymiron Noize MC and even staged a special concert, "I will sing to the music" in his support. Thanks to widely publicized rapper quickly rescued from captivity, but the story was not finished. Frustrated concerts quite harmless IC3PEAK, not very serious and very very Eldzheya teddy Yegor Creed. And this is one of the worst trends, the development of which can hit, apparently by any musician in 2019. Let us hope that this will not happen.

Clips that have become memes

Childish Gambino - This Is America

Clip with an unexpected twist at the beginning and a bunch of fascinating dances and non-obvious meanings after. On our side of the ocean is not taken seriously to think about the problems of African Americans, but the video keeps attention to the last second without decryption references. This is not only a cool clip Glover in 2018: the fall left clip for the song Feels Like Summer. There he was the hero goes to the fictional town of hip-hop artists - turn and count those who are learned.

Kanye West & Lil Pump ft. Adele Givens - I Love It

Clip chief musician of this century, Kanye West, and relatively young rapper Lil Pump, in which the performers are on the corridor in the giant copies Yeezy costumes. Track, facial expressions Kanye, reading of Pump - managed everything. Heath was the occasion for a heap of parodies, including Philip Kirkorov with Nikolai Baskov.

Clips music studio of Alexander Gudkov

Team "Evening Urgant" removed the clip for the "drunk love» Dima Bilan, two rollers for Philip Kirkorov and Nikolai Baskov, as well as video on terribly Addictive "mood color blue." Almost everything was funny and interesting, but the clip on the hit of Kirkorov with a bunch of stars in the frame was probably the most important. He proved that many entertainers no stranger to self-irony, and television - date humor.

Artists who have disappointed

imagine Dragons

Not that the music is absolutely Stadionnaya Imagine Dragons claimed to be the title of a particularly valuable before, but full-length Origins disappoint even those who liked the band. Uncompromising lack of ideas, a clear verified each step, nauseating ideality each note and an unprecedented lack of mischief - that the reasons for which group deserves the title of «Nickelback our time. " A 2018 album, this is only one more time stressed.

Muse

Muse has written an infinite credibility first albums - one Origin of Symmetry in 2001 and now will handicap the majority of alternative guitar rock releases. New Born, Plug In Baby, Bliss, Muscle Museum, Hysteria - all this is a classic. Because of these songs every Muse album is perceived as the one that certainly worth a listen after.

But Matthew Bellamy, obviously, this situation is not satisfied: from the beginning of the 2010s a group of things went wrong, and with each release situation is only getting worse. In 2018 Muse absolutely stunned by releasing retroveyv album with cover in the style of "Blade Runner"And fully depriving it hits or even in any way amusing songs. Attempt to grasp for a long time escaped the trends could be forgiven to anyone, but obviously not the main innovators of guitar music beginning zero. Very sorry.

Justin Timberlake

The once-popular and, of course, a talented musician who wants to not something to blame, but rather a pity. Singles from their last album Timberlake's Man of the Woods began to emerge even last winter, and then stole an uneasy feeling: it seems that Justin is not the same.

Shortly before that a single track musician still shot - it was the most stupid and no non-binding, but still a great strong lyrics Can not Stop The Feeling of "Troll". Unfortunately, since then, except for failures like Justin performing at the "Super Bowl" remember nothing. Man of the Woods turned out really washed-out. At least for one of the most important pop artists of zero.

Musicians, which was not

In 2018 it did not become rappers XXXTentacion and Mac Miller, The Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan, DJ Tim Stig Bergling, better known as Avicii, opera singer Montserrat Caballe and French singer Charles Aznavour.

Freshmeny, about which we will hear in 2019

Maybe he will not hear. Anyway, the artists from our collection of shot recently, are on a wave and appears to have no plans to stop.

Big Baby Tape

Many attribute the appearance of Big Baby Tape musical radar with the mention of his name in the interview Feduk Dudya, but the rapper says that it has not brought him particular HYIP. There is every reason to believe that his music properly "sketched" with Western hip-hop runs on its course, with the second release Dragonborn for sure.

Clips from Big Baby Tape is not, and the attached video - not serious freestyle rapper channel Fast Food Music, on which you can learn more about the flow, but do not draw conclusions about the artist's work.

GONE.Fludd

Named Rookie GONE.Fludd difficult: the story of Alexander Buse as a musician dates back to 2009, and his debut album was released in 2015. But it was in 2018, was released a breakthrough album Boys Do not Cry, and then the second full-length "Superchuits" and were the trappings of modern domestic stars - thousandths rooms, interview Dudya and performance in the "Evening Urgant". Music GONE.Fludd - is a pleasant and non-trivial hip-hop, which alternates with a reading of tunes, and Trap-bit complement simple and close to teenagers, and not only to them, the texts.

Alyona Alyona

Alena Savranenko works as a teacher in a rural kindergarten and raps on the Ukrainian. Unusual for rap artist backgrounds, bright flow, rocking okolograymovye bits and viral videos - all of these ways of Alyona Alyona talking after the first released track. Now there are three, two of which exactly hits. We are waiting for new full-length album and video in 2019 - there is confidence that the front will be more interesting.
