LIGHTS “Siberia”

So, in this dream I’m driving up the Saw Mill Parkway in a black Mercedes on the way to my country house in Connecticut. Apparently I had just gotten my hair did because I was Pocahontas’ed out like Rasheeda on Love & Hip-Hop. Lana Del Rey was sitting next to me trying to argue me into liking her music, saying I’m racist because I don’t like white girl music. I calmly explained to her that I don’t like Sad White Girl Music (Lana Del Rey) or Gay White Girl Music (Lady Gaga) but I’m fine with Hipster Pop White Girl Music for some reason.

Then I played this song as an example and left that bitch on the side of the road after it was over.

25. Raphael Saadiq “Day Dreams”

Mr. Saadiq gets peppy and optimistic on this 1930s juke joint jive.

The title track to LIGHTS’ second album is a bubbly slice of electropop that manages to be both relaxing and danceable.

23. Vince Gill “True Love” feat. Amy Grant

Country’s master songsmith manages to make a love song with his wife touching and understated without going into maudlin territory.

The Bats sound as jangly and as 1991-college-radio as ever on this track from their eighth album (in twenty-five years).

21. Big K.R.I.T. “Another Naieve Individual Glorifying Greed and Encouraging Racism”

Southern rap’s mixtape king gets socially conscious on the closing track to his finest effort.
