How well do you know the music of
Sam Smith’s heartfelt “Lay Me Down,” re-released with John Legend, turned solitary yearning into a poignant duet, hitting number one in the UK. Meanwhile, Jon Bellion’s “All Time Low” paired sleek pop production with breakup vulnerability, making waves internationally. Little Mix’s early empowerment ballad “Change Your Life” showcased polished vocals but leaned on safe universality, peaking at 12 in the UK.
John Newman’s “Love Me Again” blended raspy vocals and modern soul-pop energy, topping UK charts and gaining traction globally thanks to its dramatic flair. Saygrace’s update of “You Don’t Own Me” added a contemporary edge to a classic feminist anthem, lifted by Quincy Jones’ involvement. Kodaline’s “Honest” brought emotional tension but stayed in familiar sonic territory, marking another solid, if cautious, hit for the band.
? Take our 12-track quiz.
Genesis merges charm and complexity in *A Trick of the Tail*, with “Los Endos” delivering an electrifying instrumental finale laced with earlier themes. Phil Collins stands out vocally on the title track, while *No Jacket Required*’s “Long Long Way to Go,” featuring Sting, offers quiet melancholy. “Easy Lover” unites Collins and Philip Bailey for a high-energy anthem, and “In the Air Tonight” remains a chilling, brooding classic. Phil’s live moments, from duets with Laura Pausini on “Separate Lives” to Chester Thompson’s percussive battle on “Drum Duet,” display artistry and intensity alike. On the jazzier end, *The Los Endos Suite* recontextualizes Genesis’s sound with Quincy Jones’ orchestration, proving their timeless adaptability.
