Trading Musicâs Favorite Songs of 2015
One thing about a good song, you can never replay it too many times. Reflecting on 2015, here are the seven tracks took me ahold, soundtracked my year, and satisfied me once those last few chords and drum patterns fade out and back in on repeat.
7. Drake â âHotline Blingâ
Memed and mixed, trolled and Trumped thereâs no denying that âHotline Blingâ is a legitimately good pop song that has been ruined by overkill. In July, when Drake first dropped the track during his âfeudâ with Meek Mill, the song was a slow hit. But then the video dropped, and the rest is dad-dancing Internet history.
6. D.R.A.M. feat. SZA â âCaretakerâ
âCaretakerâ is the chill track you need when considering replying to that ex thatâs hard to get rid of. The song is a rework of D.R.A.M.âs version with the Social Experiment, this time with the addition of TDEâs SZA. As if it was possible, the songbird makes D.R.A.M.âs âCaretakerâ even better than the original, and gives the song an opposite take: âEven if I got a man now / At least you know where I stand now.â Of course, D.R.A.M.âs falsettos donât stand a chance against SZAâs, but he doesnât oversell either.
5. The Weeknd â âThe Hillsâ
The Weekndâs druggy ballad contains the yearâs best one-liner (âWhen Iâm fucked up, thatâs the real meâ) and the second best beat drop (See above for the first). The song even gets a cosign from Future as his favorite of the year. This song is probably the closest track to Tesfayeâs previous work on his entire album, with his signature sample modulation toward the end of the track, coproduced by longtime collaborator Illangelo.
4. Adele â âWhen We Were Youngâ
Adeleâs 25 was kind of disappointing. The record-breaking Brit approached new sounds on her third album, but the bold nothing-to-lose attitude that defined 21âs breakup songs were stripped down in Adeleâs 25th year. But maturity also brought along songs like âAll I Askâ and âWhen We Were Young,â couldâve-been tracks that maintain the erratic emotions of younger times. The latter song in particular is Adeleâs most powerful vocally, hitting a gospel high like a gift from the heavens.
3. Alessia Cara â âHereâ
An incredible Isaac Hayes sample sets the tone for Alessia Caraâs âHere,â an ode to anyone who canât help but be turned off from the party scene. Caraâs soulfully saccharine voice manages to render just enough disdain for the intoxicated and superficial crowd to not seem judgmental; partying is just not her thing, and at her age itâs a refreshing take.
2. Bryson Tiller: âExchangeâ
This was an in-your-feelings kind of year for music, thanks to artists like Bryson Tiller. âDonâtâ may be his chart-topping single, but âExchangeâ has everyone crying over the one that got away. Featuring a âSwing My Wayâ sample from 1998, the yearning runs from the original track are transformed into the maudlin pleads heard on Tillerâs take. And heâs saying all of the right things: âLord please save her for me / Do this one favor for me / I had to change my player ways / Got way too complicated for me.â Itâs easy to see how hard this track hit home.
1. dvsn â âThe Lineâ
dvsn a reported side project of producer Nineteen85, of OVO fame. The three tracks he has released so far are orgasmic, taking every key and cue from your favorite â90s R&B heartthrob. Admittedly, though, Trading Music is putting âThe Lineâ at number one after just hearing it for the first time within the last month; itâs just that good.
Nine Frank Ocean songs to get you through the wait
Back in April, this Tumblr post was the only announcement signaling the long awaited sophomore release from Frank Ocean. The post included the tag â#July2015,âł and a rep later confirmed both an album and magazine from the singer, sending fans in a frenzy of anticipation.
Well July came and went with no album, no announcement, not even another Tumblr post. So for the time being, here are the nine Frank Ocean songs to get you through the wait for his nameless, and now dateless, album.
American Wedding
The remix to the Eaglesâ hit âHotel Californiaâ sparked some controversy, mostly just with the bandâs frontman Don Henley. Frank used the original track, sans vocals, on his debut mixtape nostalgia,ULTRA.
In Frankâs marital rendition, his skeptical bride is not too sure about their quick marriage. He is first saddened by the arranged and polygamist marriages of other cultures, but eventually realizes that marriages in American culture can be just as problematic, considering how temporary they often are.
Pyramids
I would argue that âPyramidsâ is Frankâs most highly-regarded track among fans. The nearly 10-minute song is the second single from channel ORANGE, featuring a guitar solo by John Mayer. In part one, Frank gives an ode to Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, while part two is an ode to a much less famous Cleopatra. Sheâs probably a dancer at a âthe pyramid,â given the trackâs trippy video.
Acura Integurl
Acura Integurl is the first track off of the Lonny Breaux Collection compilation mixtape, an unofficial release of unheard songs by Frank. The remaining 63 tracks are mostly forgettable, so itâs no wonder why this track was the only one garnering a music video.
Frank is riding around in his old Acura, but his girl doesn't mind. Sheâs not in it for the money.
Pink Matter (Feat. Andre 3000)
Itâs hard to tell what Frank is really talking about in âPink Matterâ; Aliens? Dragon Ball Z? Procreation? His thoughts are so complex, possibly every line written with many meanings. And then 3000 comes in to make it all clear again. Itâs the collaboration you never knew you needed.
Eyes Like Sky
This track can only be found buried under mountains of Soundcloud covers or fan-made lyric videos. It was originally recorded while Frank was working on channel ORANGE, but it obviously didn't make the cut. And not to knock the song, but it was for good reason. The song doesn't fit with ORANGE, and is much more of pop ballad than the usual Frank.
But the song is beautifully written. He speaks of a blind man who looks at his disability as much more of a blessing than one would expect. Itâs unfortunate that this song will continue to be overlooked, but consider it a hidden gem instead.
Songs For Women
Women have long been the subjects of love songs. From the songs of unrequited love that put them on pedestals to the songs written out of anger that called them out of their name, men have and continue to passionately put pen to paper for the women they love. Frank joins these men in âSongs For Women.â
This is a nostalgia,ULTRA track, meaning it was released before Frankâs now infamous disclosure on his homosexuality. It was then that songs like âThinking Bout Youâ and âForest Gumpâ made it clear that Frank could write about love toward anyone. And even now, I doubt he would have any trouble getting women with his love songs.
Crack Rock
Much like Tyler, The Creatorâs 48 (which also features Frank, and reflective excerpts from an interview with Nas), âCrack Rockâ takes a look at addiction from a third party. A broken home is the result. The isolation one feels when falling into addiction, from family, from a community, is something most people could care less about. But Frank took it on, and what results is a bit of empathy.
Novacane
One of the first introductions to Frank (besides his Billboard hit âThinkinâ Bout You,â was âNovacane.â The up-tempo track isn't especially deep; Frank and his Coachella fling try ânovacaneâ for the numbing sensation, and pretty much leave it at that. I guess the idea of dating a porn actress doesn't entice him that much.
However, the song is a standout track simply because of its nonchalance. They hang out, talk career aspirations, and then do drugs. Just a normal day in California.
Bad Religion
âBad Religionâ is one of the most painful songs Iâve ever heard. And that is in no way an insult.
The person he loves does not reciprocate the feeling. If you know the feeling, you understand the pain in his words. Comparing this unrequited love to a lonely cult, poison in his cup, a religion never to be followed, makes this track one of his best songs.
5 Songs I Canât Stop Playing
Here - Alessia Cara
The 19 year old Canadian may have released the video to her debut single over three months ago, but the song only recently started getting attention when she received the often career-making Taylor Swift cosign.
You're AMAZING, @alessiacara. Love this, @BBCR1 ! http://t.co/YqKl7UJkZL
The girlâs voice is welcomely soulful and by the sound of things, she isn't much of a partier. Quite refreshing for a nineteen year old pop star.
The Way - Kehlani ft. Chance the Rapper
The video for âThe Wayâ dropped not to long ago, making one of You Should Be Hereâs standout tracks into a standout video. Iâm getting Aaliyah âOne In A Millionâ vibes in the strangest way.Â
And the song itself isn't too far from those same vibes. The girl is killing this choreo and Chanceâs verse does not disappoint in the slightest.
Kehlaniâs Interlude - PARTYNEXTDOOR
Speaking of Kehlani, her rumored boyfriend and OVO singer PARTYNEXTDOOR decided to get surprisingly sentimental recently. In âKehlaniâs Interlude,â he speaks of avoiding questions about the relationship and falling to fast. I have to admit, Iâve never really been a fan of PND. But I kind of understand the hype now.
R.I.C.O. - Meek Mill ft. Drake
If youâve had an internet connection during the past week, you know that rappers Meek Mill and Drake have had a bit of a back and forth beef going on, with public opinion heavily on Drakeâs side.
Despite all memes, Drakeâs âBack to Backâ Freestyle still executes the better diss, even with Meek Mill claiming Aubrey got peed on in a movie theater in his âWanna Knowâ diss (which may have actually happened).
All that being said, itâs kind of hard to imagine âR.I.C.O.â becoming a Meek Mill single at this point. Which is sad, because up until Meekâs verse, the song is fire.
Hotline Bling - Drake
While Drake was pinning diss tracks he may or may not have written, he also dropped âHotline Bling,â a remix to the D.R.A.M. hit single âCha Cha.â Drake may have won the diss exchange with a catchier tracks, but thatâs evidently how you win a rap battle in 2015.
Nicki Minaj's "Feeling Myself" is everything "Anaconda" wants to be
It's no secret that Nicki Minaj's video for the successful single "Anaconda" has caused controversy. The explicit video, filled with women shaking and bearing it all, has received attack from many feminists and women in general. Nicki has defended her video, saying that it was a celebration of curvier women, but to some viewers it is just another objectifying rap video. While using sex as women's only means of power, the misogynistic lyrics of "legendary" rapper Sir-Mix-Alot, and the insulting and tired remarks of Nicki devaluing thinner women, she creates a world where only her ass matters.
Female empowerment is very hit or miss in mass media today. Women like BeyoncĂŠ, Nicki, Miley Cyrus and Meghan Trainor have proven the most successful in getting a message across, however tasteless they end up being. "Anaconda" is not the first video to objectify instead of empower, and unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the last.
But the recently released video for "Feeling Myself" has done something quite the contrary. A video shot during Ms. Knowles and Ms. Minaj's time in Coachella, the two are shown having fun, acting silly, and essentially slaying in every shot. They are two major leaders in their respective genres and pop culture flossing through Coachella Valley side by side. No gimmicks, no twerking, and no men to be objectified by.
The song itself is rap braggadocio in all its glory, with Bey boasting about her latest album's surprise digital drop and success ("Changed the game with that digital drop / Know where you was when that digital popped") and Nicki bragging about her, uh, nether regions ("Kitty on fleek / pretty on fleek / Pretty gang, always keep them niggas on geek"). Nicki talks stuff about her rivals, but essentially she and Bey are the top of their game while women, and men, just have to sit back and watch.
Bey and Nicki rock stylish hockey jerseys and the now infamous Bulls jersey onesie in an effort to match the fun and carefree tone of the song and video. There is no angry or jealous battle for the top spot on the charts, no men to fight over, or insults of other women. Save Lil' Kim, who will always receive shots. As for every other line, it's just two women killing it.
Nicki does more empowering in this video than she could ever do in "Anaconda." Two women enjoying their successes with a healthy amount of confidence is something to admire, not Nicki's ass.

Women in Hip Hop: Their Portrayal and its Affect on Society
Taijuan Moorman
Todayâs female rappers, or femcees, are shown in roles that highlight beauty, sex appeal and submissiveness as opposed to dominance and intelligence. Unfortunately, much of the reason sexual images are so common among this group of women is because it has proven successful, and has helped artists gain fans, fame and financial success. Ohio University faculty and students comment on the state of women in hip hop, how female rappers are generally perceived, the possible long-term effects of negative imagery, and why certain images are popularized.
To the general public this seems all too normal. They arenât aware of the negative archetypes being used to sell albums, or the implications oversexed, oversimplified and underrepresented women have on a genre or its audience. Kay-Anne Darlington, Doctoral Student in the School of Media Arts and Studies, finds that many people just doubt the impact of media.
âA lot people are of the view that images donât really impact them. They donât really care. But, subtly and over a long period of time, it does impact you whether you do realize it or not,â says Darlington.
Female rappers of the past included Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Lauryn Hill, all women who spoke about politics, race and complex relationships. Contemporary female rappers who speak on the same subjects are few and far in between, as if they werenât already in an extremely male dominated genre. Dr. Akil Houston, assistant professor in the Department of African American Studies and hip hop scholar, feels that the main difference is access.
âThere seems to be a lack of talent, just in terms of subject matter, but I donât think itâs a reflection of an inability. I think itâs exposure and then what people assume is going to get them noticed,â says Houston.
I think itâs exposure and then what people assume is going to get them noticed.
Money ultimately drives product placement in videos, discussion of luxury brands in lyrics and what is allowed on certain artistsâ albums. For rappers with less economic success, the images portrayed by their music is subject to manipulation by label executives and network owners, and for the rappers already with superstar status, there is pressure for consistency, and to gain even more sales.A key example is the consistent product placements in Nicki Minajâs video âAnaconda,â including the moscato drink she co-owns and endorses.
Younger generations of women are susceptible to media and the values it portrays, including a perfect body and unachievable beauty. Hip Hop also has an affect on African American communities, including exploitation and how black on black crime is romanticized. Houston and Darlington suggest more active listening and an increase in media literacy.
â[People] are being more conscious about the stuff they put in their body, I feel like you have to do the same thing with music. Â You donât want to put toxins and a lot of pollutants inside your body, you have to think about that in terms of what youâre listening to,â says Houston.
âThey can be taught how to look at these images, and to decode them and make sense of them, not just for enjoyment but also critically,â says Darlington.
The opinions of Ohio University students showed what some young people think of the female rap they have seen, though only a glimpse.
Out of all the students surveyed, all cited meaningful or relatable lyrics as quality that influence their listening. Other popular qualities included the beat of the song, catchy lyrics, and the artist the song is by.
Students generally found todayâs female rap as extremely or frequently sexual, frequently simple-minded and submissive and only somewhat intelligent and conscious. All students ranked todayâs female rappers significantly less than female rappers of the past.
Half of all the students surveyed see men benefiting more from the female rapperâs image; the other half see it as benefiting both.
And the overwhelming majority of students surveyed see entertainment, sexuality, power (or hustle), beauty and wealth as the values seen most in rap music and videos.
In open responses, many students felt there was a problem with the female rappers image, and held listeners, labels and the artists themselves responsible.
If you want to listen to a female artist that doesnât allow herself to be a sex symbol and likes to rap about more than just being a bad bitch, then its up to you to find that.
âIf you want to listen to a female artist that doesnât allow herself to be a sex symbol and likes to rap about more than just being a bad bitch, then its up to you to find that,â says one student.
âI think continued presence and respect of female rappers will help, but the over sexualization of women, especially historically in rap, is whatâs successful. Intelligence and depth doesnât always sell,â says another student.
Another student found negative images as a product of society.
âIf you don't look for good stuff, all you're gonna get is the negative images because we live in patriarchal society that was built on serving the needs of men first and foremost,â says the student.
In comparing female rappers past and present, students differ in opinion. Todayâs female rapper was said to be more pop-influenced, less educated, more shallow and distant from hip hopâs roots. However, one student found the past and present to have little variation.Â
âThere were lyrical, conscious, uplifting female rappers in the 80s and 90s just like there is today,â the student says. âWhat makes them different is what we as listeners are supporting.â
"The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions hidden by the answers.â - James Baldwin
The answers are the conversations over coffee. The answers are the nightly news, the high school textbooks, your Facebook feeds.
But the questions. The questions are that movie that makes a few feel uncomfortable. The questions are that book that doesnât tell you what you want to hear, the song that wonât sell because God itâs so boring and the script that only matters to a few.
âIt is the questions that we do not know.â - Dostoyevsky
Ed Sheeran - "X"
Bringing back a sense of soul lost from music for quite some time, Ed Sheeran comforts on X.
Sheeran sticks to his winning formula on songs like âPhotographâ and âTenerife Sea,â however his shining moment are when he changes it up. Tracks like âRunawayâ and his already biggest hit âSingâ show more soul than when itâs just Ed and his guitar. Working with the ageless Pharrell proved to be a great choice musically, it shows a more confident and diverse artist in Sheeran.
Not to say that other tracks are to be dismissed. Song like âThe Manâ and âDonâtâ do plenty on the ears. And âThinking Out Loud,â among others, gives many Al Green/ Marvin Gaye vibes. And it is to be relished.
Listen to X on Spotify and buy on iTunes.
"Now these rappers tryna' floss I see / Flirtin' with Temptation they Diana Ross I seeâŚ"
A radio-ripped leak of Machine Gun Kelly's "State Of Mind" freestyle just surfaced, filled with the usual clever and fast rapping of Kellz. Check out the track above.
