Another
difficult list to compile and the first Singles/EPs one that I’ve done. So much to contemplate and difficult to come
up with any criteria.
In
the end, I decided to do it based on singles and EPs that I’ve featured. That in itself was a tough decision as some
artists aren’t here despite releasing fine singles. In the same way, I’ve developed a guilty
pleasure for Pharrell Williams’ Happy single but that isn’t here.
It’s
inevitable that there will always be something I wish I’d included, and artists
like Snippet, Daisy Victoria, Kobadelta, Bernaccia and Feral Five should all
really have more than one entry such was the strength of their releases.
Again,
the list is in no particular order, but my love of perfect pop (no doubt
influenced by being a teenager in the
early 80s) will always lead me to the quite superb song-writing skills of
Johnno Casson (aka Snippet, aka Old Tramp).
For me The Sunshine EP, and the Remixed release are examples of sheer pop
quality and if forced to pick a favourite of the year I’d probably have to
plump for that.
As
usual, enjoy the music and click on the titles for a review.
