"If love was a crime" - Poli Genova (2016)

An absolute pop banger, all hook and rise and lift. Shared a stage with Justin Timberlake, and beat "Can't stop the feeling!" out of the park.

Destiny Chukunyere won the 2015 Junior Eurovision Song Contest and performed her winning song again this year Destiny Chukunyere - Not My Soul - LIVE - Junior Eurovision 2016

#TheTenX5 d23

"Not my soul" - Destiny Chukunyere (2015)

Sounds like it ought to be a seventies soul classic.

Is actually the second-best winner of any Eurovision Song Contest during the decade.

The Week at 25, marking a quarter-century of my little game show column.

In this edition, eleven of my favourite pieces, and how they contribte to the ongoing history of the genre.

#TheTenX5 d22

"My church" - Maren Morris (2016)

When everything else is horrible, we have sanctuaries.

For Maren, it's the radio of her beat-up old car.

For me, songs that nobody else remembers, and thinking "she's the new Sheryl Crow".

#TheTenX5 d21

"On your head" - Tiffany Page (2010)

Our hero is near the end of his tether, confused and spiralling. Tiffany's song structure portrays this unsettled world in repeated phrases, ends in a request for mercy.

#TheTenX5 d20

"Cool kids" - Echosmith (2013)

The Sierota siblings sing about the pain of not fitting in, in a lamentational F-minor key.

Mike Elizondo's production evokes the best new wave of thirty years earlier.

A reporter for the BBC called out that when it comes to crimes against the state, things move very quickly, but when it comes to crimes against women, the pace is glacial.

Huh. Are we, as people, gonna do anything to fix that?!?!?

"Youth without youth" - Metric (2012)

This is a glamorous groove, a galaxy of laser dance beats.

Is "stadium dance-rock" a recognised genre? It is now.

"Here's to never growing up" - Avril Lavigne (2013)

A decade after "Complicated", Avril still has the urge to trash the jewellery store and blow raspberries at the mall guard. Not a zillion miles away from Taylor Swift's "Red" era.

"Loveless" - Said The Whale (2012)

"How could i love you less, now that i know you more?"

Hankies out for the video, perhaps.

Aye, K with the Manics, shim and her love for Kenickie, my ex was right about Rent.

We all had a time...

A look back at The Traitors on BBC1.

How did the winner(s) land their victory.

What help did they get from the other side, and indeed from the other side?

"Hard mode": garnet, topaz, or diamond?

Can we come up with new twists and better tie-breaks?

"Honey" - Kehlani (2017)

“I like my girls just like I like my honey. Sweet. A little selfish”

Kehlani and their guitar, gently cooing sweet nothings into ears, like a hummingbird dropping nectar into a blossom.

In case you missed his performance and interview with KXT’s Paul Slavens, check out these videos of Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller performing two tracks from his latest solo effort, The Traveler, and the one-off Everly-esque duet he recorded with Dallas songbird Madison King. Full session and interv Madison King & Rhett Miller - "Feel Like Fallin’ In Love" - KXT Live Sessions

#TheTenX5 d13

"Feel like fallin' in love" - Madison King & Rhett Miller (2015) [ALB]

Rhett's from The Old '97's, Madison is a country singer from Dallas.

They came together at college station KXT for a session. It's magic.

Go for it! Isn't this how the Greeks told their myths anyway?

/me remembers adding to the book's stories of Dick Whittington for my kid sister's amusement, and then she got annoyed when someone else stuck precisely to the text.

The real thing is the story one remembers...

“Right now the focus should be on supporting the community in mourning, not weaponizing this event as hate against a vulnerable group at large.”

I hate profoundly that articles like this need to be written when, like Mel says, the focus should be on community. But thank you Mel for writing ❤️

#TheTenX5 d12

"Can't be tamed" - Miley Cyrus (2010)

Hannah Montana grows up, breaks out of her birdcage, and shows off her feathers.

There is no heterosexual explanation for this video, the "Sweet dreams are made of this" for a new generation.

This is the only position I'll defend, absolute and total body autonomy forever, no exceptions

"Baby shark" Into the final week in the #FearOfMu21c project, crowdsourcing the greatest singles of the 21st century. Here’s an index post. And here's one with as many nominations (1) as the entire Ed Sheeran...

#TheTenX5 d11

I stand by my earlier nomination: this is a great pop song, superb characterisation, catchy tune, and bears some repetition.

"Baby shark" - Pinkfong (2018)

AURORA performing "Running with the Wolves" live on the German broadcaster ZDF's show "Aspekte" on the 1st/2nd of April, 2016. She also performed "Warrior" the same day: https://youtu.be/abRBwUBPYVk Original video can be found on ZDF's website: http://goo.gl/v7Ct0i ZDF had the largest market share AURORA - Running With The Wolves (Live on ZDF)

#TheTenX5 d10

"Running with the wolves" - Aurora (2015)

Behind the pop beats, there's something of the dark in this arrangement.

Theme tune to CBBC's excellent "Wolfblood", and later used on the movie "Wolfwalkers".

The Raven's Sun | Catherine MacLellan The Raven's Sun by Catherine MacLellan, released 19 August 2014 THE RAVEN’S SUN I got my work all done, Now I can run with the Raven’s sun Spend all my days, watch the river run To the sea, to the sea Somehow I fell for you You know my heart is just a faithless fool You’re so good but it can’t be true You got a love of your own I can’t ask to be forgiven anymore It’s time to even the score Well, I always wanted more than I had You know more of me than anyone can see Well, it’s time for me to leave Find a love of my own So I cleaned up my act Took the piles of bills and I paid the tax Let the rain roll down my back Wash away all my sin You don’t call these days it’s just as well ‘cause I am on my way To where my open heart can safely lay Among the reeds and the rushes I can’t ask to be forgiven anymore It’s time to even the score Well, I always wanted more than I had You know more of me than anyone can see Well, it’s time for me to leave Find a love of my own I got my work all done, Now I can run with the Raven’s sun Spend all my days, watch the river run To the sea, to the sea…

#TheTenX5 d9

"The raven's sun" - Catherine MacLellan (2014) [ALB]

In the creation stories of many Pacific Coast First Nations, the Raven is the being who brings light to the world.

Sparse and bright folk music, speaks simply and eloquently to matters of the soul.

What are we going to do with the Eurovision Song Contest?

A note for history, attempting to separate fact from opinion, and weigh up the arguments for and against watching the event.

...and (SPOILER!) not reaching a conclusion.

Two Sisters | Emily Portman Two Sisters by Emily Portman, released 10 October 2010

#TheTenX5 d8

"Two sisters" - Emily Portman (2010) [ALB]

A traditional murder ballad, here interpreted through voice and harp.

Spooky and intricate and haunting, and quite possibly the stuff of nightmares. 🥑

[ALB] - an album track, not released or promoted as a single.

Entrée en scène. + Somnambule Cœur de Pirate. Pilgrims on a long journey (Child of light). Théâtre de Denain . 13/04/19.

#TheTenX5 d7

"Pilgrims on a long journey" - Cœur de Pirate (2014) [ALB]

Mysterious, grim, hopeful, melancholy. Hope in a downtrodden atmosphere. Intimate chamber music.

The overture to the "Child of Light" video game, performed by proper musicians for that extra texture.

[P]: fails the Poppy clause, as k d lang had released records before 1995.

I'm asserting this as being distinct from the 2005 album track; it's a full re-recording, and was treated as a 2010 single to the point it was on the Juno Single of the Year shortlist.
