This week we have celebrated the best of Mixtapes and Playlists, well the two best. So along with Anything but An Album contenders I have focused a lot on EP's this year and here are some of the best.
Chet Faker changed his name, he is now Nick Murphy and Missing Link is the title of this sensational EP.
Released mid 2017 and featuring production by Kaytranada this five track EP cemented Nick/Chet's contribution to Australian music. Well done again Nick.
Bishop Briggs released a delightful EP earlier this year, toured and released a further single after this release, so fingers crossed an album is on the way in 2018.
Looking locally again Dean Lewis had a solid year with ARIA nominations and heaps of airplay, his EP. Waves has now sold been certified triple platinum (that is 210,000 purchasers, mostly online) and Need You Now and Lose My Mind have been huge favourites for local radio.
Amy Shark has had a huge 2017, she picked up a couple of ARIA awards and Adore continues to be a beast of a track making it stateside.
The QLD local, Shark (real name Amy Billings) has alongside Tash Sultana been one of this years biggest female artists. Ladies are really killing it right now in Australia, you go girls! Yass Queens!
Maggie Rogers also showed females are killing it in 2017 and Now That the Light is Fading was perfect pop. Alaska is a smashing track and even caught Pharrell Williams attention.
Next week we will start to look at this years biggest albums of the year. Tomorrow I will have a Summer music list focused on this seasons biggest festival acts.
This years Anything but An Album of the Year (Drake or L D R U) will be announced New Years Day and Boxing Day the Album of 2017 will be published right here, right now...
