Sia - Puppies Are Forever

2017 Song of the Year - ionnalee

1.  ionnalee - "Not Human"
     There's not a whole lot to say.  This person can do no wrong in my eyes at this point...unless we  later find out that her awesome dog Ghost was forced into slave labor during the making of this video. ionnalee / iamamiwhoami always manage to make music that makes my heart flutter.  Of the four singles released thus far, this one blows me out of the water every time I hear it.  Her debut solo album as ionnalee, "Everyone Afraid to Be Forgotten", promises to be excellence and February cannot come soon enough.
