Willow SmithвЂ™s rebirth into an Avril Lavigne tinged pop-punk icon is one that wasnвЂ™t on my 2021 bingo card, but is one thatвЂ™s welcomed. Hot Hot is the latest burst of energy and bravado the Hackney native has blessed upon the world, and when your pre-chorus is lead by a lyric declaring вЂњride a boyвЂ™s face like a YamahaвЂќ you know you better buckle up. Bree Runway //В Hot HotД«ree Runway has so much star power brimming in her that itвЂ™s a miracle she doesnвЂ™t simply explode. Niko B makes Milton Keynes feel like Milan. Nowhere else in the industry are you going to hear a fella rapping about Pasta Kings with a straight face. His writing is so pedestrian, but thatвЂ™s what makes it so special. When I think about voices that are making music thatвЂ™s uniquely British, voice of a next generation style, I canвЂ™t help but think of Niko B. If CMAT songs were Taylor Swift albums, No More Virgos is her Red. CMAT (Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson) has one the most timeless voices in the industry вЂ“ seductive and heartbreaking in equal measure. ItвЂ™s the perfect fusion of country and pop. вЂњGlobal pop superstar from IrelandвЂќ CMAT dropped the latest single from her upcoming debut album at the end of October and itвЂ™s the most pop the country singer-songwriter has sounded yet. Here are The TabвЂ™s choices for the top 40 best songs of 2021, ranked. 2021 was soundtracked by tunes that burned with a yearn to be loved, to find paradise and to move on.

The best songs of this year are reflective, pensive, angry, and often feel like a weight lifted. If 2020 was the year of dance anthems cruelly released in a time period where we couldnвЂ™t sweat to them on a club floor, 2021 was the year of a cathartic pop-punk howl.
