WONGIE FM: Best of 2012 #31-40

Best of 2012:
#31-40
When you go about listening to your favorite song of the year, one quickly starts to see the pattern that most of these songs sound like they belong in a post john hughes outsider coming of age/first heartbreak soundtrack for the new decade. Just playing all the songs within this grouping makes me realize that if anyone is looking for a music supervisor of something similar, please look me up!

Besides the cinematic pop epicness of clock opera, niki and the dove, kindness, paloma faith (drama ballad of the year yo!) and even drake feat riri, dance also featured heavily in my 2012 soundtrack with the heartbreaking burns, hypnotic purity ring, new wave-y tanlines and pure poppery of carly rae jepson (her 2nd track "tonight i'm getting over you" is just brilliant and destined to be a massive hit in 2013) all go to tracks. Finally one of my fave breakout acts of 2012 Lianne La Havas offers up 2 gems from her awesome debut. I can't wait to see what this year will bring for this talented singer/songwriter!

More to come yo!

31. Clock Opera – Once and for All / Belongings
32. Kindness – House
33. Burns - Lies
34. Paloma Faith – Picking Up The Pieces
35. Purity Ring – Obedear
36. Niki and the Dove - Tomorrow
37. Tanlines – All Of Me
38. Lianne La Havas – Forget / Is Your Love Big Enough
39. Drake feat Rihanna – Take Care
40. Carly Rae Jepson – Call Me Maybe / Tonight I’m Getting Over You

WONGIE SONG OF THE MONTH: clock opera - once and for all

clock opera - once and for all
[oh boy... for those who know the wongie favored style of music, will know instantly that this track is just pure aural gold. building melodies leading to a soaring chorus of pain and heartbreak with the instrumentation to back the drama; THIS is heaven! throw in the fact that this london quartet strip down sounds only to bring them back together in loops and harmony makes them an interesting live act to chase down for 2012. i'm buzzing yo!]
