Songs of the year, number 10: Arlo Parks - Black Dog (Official Video)

At the heart of the success of 'Black Dog' is its simplicity of message and the pared down musical backdrop created for that message. At a time when a lot of people are talking about teenage mental health, it's refreshing to have such a powerful advocate as the young London songwriter. Her hugely anticipated debut album will be released in January, and - assuming it's possible - she will be touring in 2021.
