Nominate Your Favorite Track of 2024 (Contest)

[Robin L]

I only became aware of the pianist Angela Hewitt late this year. She is well known for her multiple recordings of the Well Tempered Clavier and the Goldberg Variations of Bach. She managed to record three generously filled CDs of the music of François Couperin. I never thought anyone could make sense of this harpsichord music on the modern piano, but she does it and brilliantly at that:

Is there a single music track that really captured your heart in 2024?

Does this mean any song that captured my heart/interest but not released in 2024 is OK?

Drop Nineteens - White Dress (2024)
This is a cover of a Lana Del Rey song from a band I really like that reformed almost 30 years after they initially split up.

Rather than out myself as the hopeless prog fan that I am, I will offer this: Lelah Hathaway's VANTABLACK

When my wife and I are dancin' and cookin' in the kitchen, I can't imagine doing better ...

It should be music that came out in 2024 but if nothing comes to mind, maybe you can post something older.

I'm probably not qualified to speak for today's music but some really nice stuff got their way in this little gem series.

Wow...Pervy! Reminds me of how resourceful we had to be before the availability of internet porn.
And who wrote the song?
Stevie WinWOOD...

So I liked about 200 songs this year if I remembered to bookmark them all. So, I'm going to go quite random and not attempt to pick an absolute favorite. Too many genres for one thing...different moods demand different tunes
So here's one.

From the brilliant 2024 album Dance, No One’s Watching, the track God Gave Me Feet For Dancing is my fave this year. The BBC Live Lounge performance is sublime. Worth checking out the other tracks from this short live set too.
