Songs of 2022

Inspired by Popcast’s most recent episode, I’ve for some reason decided to put together a list of my favourite songs of this year, the way I used to do way back when on my blog, and send it out into the ether.

No further ado:

Fils de joie - Stromae (Such a perfect mix of various influences. Yes, I can tell you listen to Brel a lot, mon ami. Also, how does he look so young? How inconsiderate of him.)

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa - FINNEAS (Now this guy loves his 90's. As someone who was born 10 years before him I find that amusing. Anyway, song slaps.)

29 - Demi Lovato (The lyrics are so on point. You get to a certain age and realise the people who thought you were so interesting and mature in your late adolescence must have been fucking creeps. The whole album is great. I'm not someone who otherwise listens to Demi a lot but this album did it for me. Runner-up: Skin of My Teeth.)

The 30th - Billie Eilish (Fucking devastating.)

Mastermind - Hi, it's Her (sorry) (Initially Midnights left me whelmed but turns out it's the only full album of hers I actually listen to. Great for baking. Not her best lyrical work and yet...still slaps. Mastermind is a masterpiece. Runner-up: Question..?)

Selfish Soul - Sudan Archives (I'm a white woman with fine dead looking straight hair. Can't relate. But the song is a bop. She is amazing. No-one else should be allowed to slay a violin.)

Angry Woman - Ashe (I'LL DO WHATEVERILIIIIIIIKE. Runner-up: Emotional.)

Boy - The Killers (My boys' only release this year and it's great, of course. Like, fucking brilliant.)

The Funeral - YUNGBLUD (I don't even know how to spell this bloke's name but I bluddy love this song. Satisfies my thirst for 80's new wave rock bops.)

Vegas - Doja Cat (The best thing about Elvis. Yeah, I said it.)

Wisher to the Well - Leah Marlene (American Idol's gift to me.)

Her - Megan Thee Stallion (Shiiit, what could a ho say?)

Sah Sah - Nancy Arjam (Don't understand a word but it's a bop.)

A Wonderer in the Sleeping City - Rufus Wainwright & Wu Tsing-Fong (THAT MELODY. THE PIANO. ALL THAT SOARING....SOARING.)

Meri Mehbooba - Anik Khan (I never heard the original, came upon this on a Spotify playlist & thought it was a cute-sexy tune. Pretty sure I'm responsible for most of this record's streams. Btw, turns out guy is cute.)

Note: Being a music listener these days is strange. A completely different experience to when I was a teen. As a millennial I feel like I've lived in two worlds a roughly equal amount of time AND IT'S WEIRD. Like remembering somebody else's life. I'm not that old and yet, in some ways I have more in common with my 71 year old parents than someone a decade younger than me. Kids these days will never understand. Get off my fucking lawn.

What I've loved about the streaming age is being able to listen to a lot of non-English sung music. That's definitely the best part.

Just go online & listen to A-WA. No need to go to Israel/some dodgy music shop selling "world music".

”Regnbågsdekoren plockades ner inför den Arabiska stjärnans framträdande”

Under Kulturkalaset i samarbete med Europride plockades regnbågsdekoren ner när den muslimska sångerskan Nancy Arjam skulle uppträda på Götaplatsen. Och det är väl inget nytt att Islam är kopplat till homofobi. De klart, lever man efter en bok som är skriven på medeltiden och försöker implantera den på en festival som står upp för mänskliga rättigheter i ett 2018 Sverige då kan man lika gärna…

2010 was the best year for World Cup songs and no one will ever persuade me otherwise - I might even like this better than Waka Waka.

(Yeah I know this is a Coke video but Don't Worry, Be Happy; the original K'naan version is here. Arabic version featuring Nancy Arjam here.)

Translation!

Hi there, y'all.

I'm working on my translating skills of late, specifically translating from English into Arabic.  That said, I don't usually get much feedback because I don't have any friends that speak/study Arabic.  So, I'm turning to tumblr for feedback.  Right now, I'm translating the wikipedia article about Nancy Arjam paragraph by paragraph.  I'm going to post this with as many tags as I can think of that might be searched by speakers/studiers of Arabic and if I keep my fingers crossed, maybe one of them will be kind enough to point out any glaring flaws! :) (I've paraphrased any English phrases that may not exist in Arabic.)

First Paragraph

(Microsoft made my quotation marks backwards. ):)

نانسي نبيل عجرم متعددة البلاتين تسجيلة فنانة و سفير حسن النية لاليونيسيف. بدأَت أن تأدى في طفولتها بالعوم من والدها و أطلقَت ألبومها استوديو أول عندما كانت خمسة عشرة سنة. وقع اختراقها مع البداية من تعاونها مع منتج معروف جيجي لامارا عندما أطلقَت أغنيتها شعبي " اخاصمك آه" ألبومها استوديو ثالث "يا سلام". أطلقَت في السنة 2004 نجاحها دولي ثان "آه ونص" أي ولدت أغان ناجح عدة. مثلاً "لون عيونك" و " إنت إيه". في ما بعد نانسي أسسَت أيقونة البوب في الشرق الأوسط.

Nancy Ajram in Turkey

Lebanese national and trans-regional pop-treasure Nancy Ajram recently held a thrilling performance for diehard fans in Istanbul, Turkey. As part of the promotion for the 'Shopping Festival', Nancy, in the spirit of spending and record sales, could be considered the Middle East's very own 'material girl'.

A collection of her most popular hits was enough to keep the Turks happy for 2 hours in a show attended by thousands upon thousands of Arabs and Turks -  mutually avid fans of Nancy. Notable attendees at the concert were Lebanese consular representatives from Lebanon's Embassy in Istanbul, together with Egypt's counterpart diplomatic set, as well as a healthy spattering of Turkish soap stars, worshipped in the far corners of the Arab world.

The concert saw pop-princess Nancy glitter gold in her exquisite shiny yellow gown.

This marks the second concert Nancy holds in Turkey - the first Turkish fest - another tribute to the Turkish shopping trade - held some months back. This summer concert makes good on Nancy's promise to be back in the land of the Turks before too much time could elapse since her hearty reception last year.
