Hope you've all had a fantastic holiday season and didn't get too drunk celebrating the start of 2019! 😝
Some really great albums came out in 2018 and I'd like to share my 10 favourites of the year with you. Yes... I know I'm late to this, but nevermind! 💁
Tell me what your favourite albums of the year were and maybe this list will encourage you to listen to some albums you may have missed.
 |
| 10. KOD by J. Cole |
Cole doing what he does best, conscious hip hop.
Cole tackles themes of addiction and his production style takes on a trap influence.
Favourite Tracks: KOD, Kevin's Heart, 1985 (Intro to The Fall Off)
 |
| 9. Hunter by Anna Calvi |
Anna's best album to date in my opinion.
A powerful record exploring themes of gender that proves rock music is still very much alive

Favourite Tracks: Alpha, As A Man, Away.

| 8. Tranquillity Base Hotel + Casino by Arctic Monkeys |
An album that's truly divided fans and is like no other album in the band's discography
A Bowie/Gainsbourg inspired concept record about a hotel on the moon that features the band's most experimental and imaginative songs.
 |
| 7. Be The Cowboy by Mitski |
A late discovery for me, but still a great one.
Probably the most relatable album on this list... enough said 😳

| 6. Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides by SOPHIE |
I HAVE NEVER HEARD MUSIC LIKE THIS BEFORE!
NOBODY IS MAKING MUSIC LIKE THIS!!
SOPHIE IS THE FUTURE OF MUSIC!!!
SOPHIE IS THE FUTURE OF MUSIC!!!
Favourite Tracks: Immaterial, Ponyboy, Faceshopping
 |
| 5. Bloom by Troye Sivan |
A brilliant dancepop record celebrating love, sexuality and self expression
Also features some of the best pop songs released all year, our Troye boy is killing it! 👌
Favourite tracks: My, My My!, Bloom, Dance to This
 |
| 4. American Utopia by David Byrne |
P.S. The tour was AMAZING!!!!
Favourite Tracks: Gasoline and Dirty Sheets. Here, Every Day Is A Miracle
 |
| 3. Honey by Robyn |
The fabulous queen honey bee is back with an electropop record inspired heavily by house and disco that's still uniquely Robyn.
Favourite tracks: Honey, Ever Again, Send to Robin Immediately
 |
| 2. MassEducation by St. Vincent |
I'm cheating here slightly as the original version of the album (Masseduction) took the number 1 spot on my 'Favourite Albums of 2017' list, but MassEducation is a beautifully stripped back version of an incredible album that I'm sure will resonate with me throughout the rest of my life.
Favourite Tracks: Saviour, Los Ageless, Hang On Me
 |
| 1. Dirty Computer by Janelle Monae |
A perfectly crafted pop record that has such an important message, tackling a variety of genres, proving that Janelle Monae is a legend.
The "Emotion picture" that accompanies this album is also highly recommend 💛
