Am I right in thinking, that a playlist with a chilled vibe is what we need as we head into lockdown once again? The music Gods seem to have foreseen our needs, because much of the last few weeks music releases have delivered, dreamy, emotive, synth-wave grooves. Even pop became more thoughtful and lyrically poignant throughout the month. Whereas the EDM and indie genres have been keeping on doing what they do. You know the drill by now, we selected and wrote about the best new tracks, (as many as we could guzzle down our ears.) From those tracks, we’ve lovingly compiled, the November 2020, edition of the “This Beat Is Poptronik<\/strong>” playlist. With the hope that you will pop it into your ears when you feel you need to escape from the barrage of gloomy news bulletins, for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOVEMBER 2020<\/strong>
Who is featured\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was over the moon synth-pop band Avec Sans<\/strong> gave our ears a jolt with their eargasmic track “Altitude<\/a><\/strong>.” The opening slot on the playlist is all theirs, it’s no less than they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was similarly, super happy to see SHAED<\/strong> back. The ear-worm melody of “No Other Way<\/a><\/strong>” hasn’t left my head, since I wrote about the track over, two whole weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip-side, the best of the chilled vibes came from Eighty Ninety<\/strong> with “Better As Friends<\/a><\/strong>” and “Waste Your Time<\/a><\/strong>” from Meet Me in Orbit<\/strong> respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who has the best, thoughtful and poignant pop, release out at the moment\u2026we voted unanimously on this one, Mickey Taylor’s<\/strong> collaboration with Lostchild<\/strong> on “Jokes<\/a><\/strong>,” came through as the outright winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t miss gems<\/strong> from Sophie Ellis-Bextor<\/a><\/strong> – R3HAB, Astrid S & HRVY<\/a><\/strong> – Harry Styles<\/a><\/strong> – Cyndi Lauper<\/a><\/strong> – Icona Pop X Sofi Tukker<\/a><\/strong> – Josh Wantie and Conor Maynard<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
