The last time a recent song's bass part caught your attention

A couple of days ago this came by on the radio - it's by a local (Belgian) artist so I guess none of you would have heard it. (I don't know the guy personally so this isn't a covert plug or anything).

The bass part on it immediately caught my attention and made me want to learn and play along - something I haven't really experienced a lot with recent/modern music. I haven't been playing bass for that long so it might be I'm easily impressed of course.

Anyway I thought I'd ask around: what other recent songs (say, from the last two years or so) have impressed you or captured your interest in some way or another? I've seen some Dua Lupa bass lines being mentioned in other threads iirc, but I'm curious what other songs you come up with.

I’ve no idea what song/band was playing on Radio 2 this morning (about 6:40) but it had a bassline that actually sounded like a bass guitar of all things. Nothing fancy just a decent in the mix sound but given current music it stood out a bit.

One of these? The show (Zoe Ball) started at 6.3040453905-748B-4EDE-8C97-64E321D08C20.thumb.png.ecd766a01e2a01a660b70c6c066831ae.png

This caugh my attention on the radio today.

Not least because it's one of those lines that I'm 90% sure is either a synth or programmed but every now and then there's some articulation (is that the right word?) that makes me think it might be a genuine bass guitar with a synth effect.

Last ‘recent’ song I heard where the bassline hooked me was ‘Don’t Start Now’ by Dua Lipa.

 

That’s a great tune with great bass. I was really taken aback when I found out it was programmed and not an actual bass, it sounded so much like a ‘live’ performance.

I liked this reverb drenched effort.

 

Sounds like a short scale with flats on maybe - a really woody hollow thunk. Its great.

EDIT - the video shows something else tho, so ignore me....
