You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

In no particular order, my favourite songs this decade are;

D'Angelo - Sugar Daddy. Another Life.

Janelle Monae - QUEEN. Electric Lady.

Harts - Leavn it All Behind.

That's all I can think of at the moment, but there's probably others.

That's a lot of EBM.

I had thought the whole damn genre died ages ago, but I recently discovered how popular its gotten in the alternative / goth music clubs again.
