Massive Attack & Hope Sandoval - The Spoils. Probably my most listened to song last year and yet I didn’t discover it until pretty late. I listened to it religiously while dealing with some disheartening stuff then and it really is such a good song for letting you feel whatever you need to feel. It’s like bittersweetness in a bottle, truly addictive.

Been listening to this for months at this point. It has such a good atmosphere, the echoes really flow together without stepping on each other and becoming too distorted. The beat manages to sound almost woody whilst still remaining very polished and the vocals are just beautiful but also gritty in how haunting they sound. I especially love whatever that synthy old piano sounding thing is that comes around 3:09 (can you tell I don’t know shit about instruments?).

I first heard this in the movie Gossip. At first I thought it was a Nine Inch Nails song that I hadn’t heard before but it turned out I was wrong and woosh I had a new band to discover.
