Something You Said’s top tunes of 2023

It’s been a great year for music. Here – in no particular order – are some of the songs that really got our team going in 2023:

The Beatles – Now and Then

Who’d have thought we’d get a ‘new’ song from the Fab Four in 2023.

Holiday Sidewinder – Escape & Retreat

The acclaimed artist unveiled the first glimpse of her highly-anticipated concept album, The Last Resort, which is set to drop in March.

Jim Bob – Thanks For Reaching Out

This love-during-wartime correspondence song is the title track of the ex Carter USM legend’s acclaimed 2023 album and an instant classic.

Tilly VW – Criteria Killed the Creative

The Melbourne artist told us all about her anti-establishment anthem when we spoke to her earlier this year.

Kylie Minogue – Padam Padam

What a banger.

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers – Never Saw It Coming

The rapidly-rising punk rock stars dropped their eagerly awaited debut album I Love You in September.

Olivia Rodrigo – Vampire

What a ride this song takes us on in under four minutes.

Das Koolies – Best Mindfuck Yet

The opening track from the members of Super Furry Animals (minus Gruff Rhys) gave an immediate insight into the kind of dance madness to expect from their very long, very epic first album.

Miley Cyrus – Flowers

The kind of song that takes up residence in you head for days.

Lana Del Ray – A&W

“I’m a princess, I’m divisive / Ask me why, why, why I’m like this,” 

And yes, we’re sorry that we almost definitely missed your favourite.
