On “Nothing Great About Britain” Slowthai brought the parent-scaring possibilities of Johnny Rotten to British hip-hop
The fertile music scene in Dublin produced excellent albums by Fontaines DC and Girl Band this year; best of all was the first from The Murder Capital, a sharply dressed quintet with an explosive, balletic stage presence. “When I Have Fears” didn’t necessarily offer anything new—its debt to Joy Division was undeniable—but it was performed with a ferocity and conviction that took it beyond mere pastiche.
was Billie Eilish, a young woman who could only have been more teenage if she had refused to come out of her room to release her album. The sulkiness belied a fabulously sharp collection, brilliantly produced by Ms Eilish’s brother, Finneas O’Connell. The songs were pared back, making the hooks all the more deadly and the lyrics all the more insinuating. “Bad Guy” was such a great song that, as with “Despacito” in 2017, Justin Bieber felt obliged to muscle in and add his voice to a new version.
