To był rok grupy The Effect. Trev Lukather, Nic Collins i Emmett Stang zdobyli w podsumowaniu EyeOnMusic 2024 wszystko: zespół, album i piosenka roku. Na zakończenie Panowie pożegnali się ze słuchaczami i rozeszli w różne strony, a The Effect przestało istnieć. Muzycy The Cure co prawda nigdzie się nie rozchodzili – przeciwnie, pozostawali w stałym kontakcie z fanami podczas koncertów – ale i tak to jest mój muzyczny powrót roku. Na taki album jak Songs Of A Lost World trzeba było czekać bardzo długo – dłużej niż od 2008 roku, kiedy ukazała się płyta 4:13 Dream i nawet dłużej niż wydany cztery lata wcześniej krążek zatytułowany po prostu The Cure (mój album numer #2 roku 2004). Bardzo przyjemną muzyczną niespodziankę dostaliśmy ze Szkocji w postaci premierowego zestawu piosenek grupy Travis, wydanego pod nazwą L.A. Times z klimatycznie zwiewnym „Bus” na czele. Sheryl Crow w „Don't Walk Away” zabrzmiała jak w starych dobrych latach 90., a Pet Shop Boys w „Dancing Star” zabrali nas o jeszcze jedną dekadę wstecz.
Oto zestawienie moich ulubionych piosenek 2024, przygotowane jak zawsze na podstawie cotygodniowych dwudziestek EyeOnMusic. A dla tych, którzy wolą posłuchać niż poczytać mam jeszcze pierwszą czterdziestkę w formie playlisty na YouTube od miejsca #40 aż do #1. Szczęśliwego Nowego 2025!
