Digital High’s Top 20 of 2021 [20 – 11]
20. “Serotonin” – girl in red
19. “Country as Fuck” – Paul Cauthen
18. “Faster Please” – seeyousoon
17. “Daddy” – Tiny Meat Gang ft. Quinn XCII
16. “Recap” – Kito, VanJess, & Channel Tres
15. “Not in the Mood” – Fickle Friends
14. “so good” – joan
13. “Diggin Da Blunt” – Maty Noyes
12. “Close to You” – Dayglow
11. “edamame” – bbno$ ft. Rich Brian
10. “fantasize” – ericdoa
DH became a big fan of hyperpop this year after happening upon ericdoa and his top ten banger “fantasize.” Left-coast vibes wound up in emo-rap verse connect to make this listen one you can leave on repeat.
9. “You Can Get It” – Arkells ft. K.Flay
The piano is alive and percussion just as thumping on this Arkells and K.Flay check-in. The pump-up anthem succeeds in its bombastic musicality and good feels, just what this list needs.
8. “Last Time” – Becky Hill
This UK powerhouse may have one of music’s most underrated vocals. Vibrant, sympathetic, and soulful could be used interchangeably on her dance-pop perfection “Last Time” and they still don’t quite do her justice.
7. “Questions” – Middle Kids
Another new act popping up on DH’s radar this year, the Aussie trio educated and entertained on their Today We’re The Greatest standout. Here’s to them pinging some more next year.
6. “Spinning” – No Rome ft. Charli XCX & The 1975
This one was a no brainer. A house aesthetic, lively lyrical play, and The 1975 is a recipe for success any which way you cut it.
