| CasanovaZelos 05/30/22 10:56:55 AM #9: | Not sure if this will come up here, but Japanese Breakfast is Korean-American (people sometimes, for obvious reasons, assume she is Japanese). About a month before this album released, she also released a memoir about the Korean-American experience and the death of her mother by pancreatic cancer. "Paprika" and "Be Sweet" make the ultimate one-two punch opening. "Paprika" is the sound of a parade tearing through town, with "Be Sweet" mellowing things out with its opening verse only to shoot for the sky during the chorus. With those two out of the way, Zauner dives deeper into her emotional core for the remaining tracks. It might be the ultimate indie pop experience, a dreamy haze over emotional landscapes. Even if "Be Sweet" is my easy standout, Zauner pulls off a distinct style on every track, making Jubilee the rare album where each track could have been an effective single. Absolutely among the best of 2021. My ranking: Be Sweet (#254 all-time) Paprika Posing in Bondage Kokomo, IN Posing for Cars In Hell Tactics Slide Tackle Savage Good Boy Sit --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ ...
