January/February 2013: Top 20 (Part 1)

Welcome back to Top 20, the first of 2013! I had been taking a break from new music for a while and instead was looking back or catching up on artists such as M.I.A. who I have recently fallen in love with! So this top 20 is a little different than normal as it is a kind of a compilation of the soundtrack of my life for the past couple of months...

20. Rihanna (feat. Mikky Ekko) - Stay

not really sure how to feel about it, something in the way you move

19. Kanye West (feat. Big Sean & Jay-Z) - Clique

turn that 62 to 125, 125 to a 250, 250 to a half a milli, ain't nothing nobody can do with me

18. Alt-J - Matilda

and she needs you, this is from matilda

17. Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank)

first you get a swimming pool full of liquor, then you dive in it, pool full of liquor, then you dive in it

16. M.I.A. - Boyz

how many start a war

15. Fall Out Boy - My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark

a constellation of tears on your lashes, burn everything you love, then burn the ashes

14. Drake - Started From The Bottom

started from the bottom, now we're here

13. The Fray - You Found Me

lost and insecure, you found me, you found me, lying on the floor

12. M.I.A. - XXXO

you want me be somebody who I'm really not

11. Kendrick Lamar - Backseat Freestyle

damn i feel amazing, damn I'm in the matrix
