This year, personally, was a really rough one, and the fact that my faves all dropped albums (SZA, Jamie T, Warpaint, YYYs), and have made new discoveries I’ll surely be loving for a long time (Wet Leg, Fontaines D.C.), it’s a tad unfair how such a shitty year was soundtracked by incredible music. Or maybe not. I’m always undecided, but having a musical goody at the end of the week to look forward to made the weeks bearable, and I don’t think I’m in the minority here. I love music, and it’s always been there for me when I’ve been disappointed by life and people (mainly men). Here are my top albums of the year:
Dance Fever - Florence + The Machine
Wet Leg - Wet Leg
Skinty Fia - Fontaines D.C.
SOS - SZA
Caprisongs - FKA twigs
EYEYE - Lykke Li
Cool It Down - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Fear of the Dawn - Jack White
Radiate Like This - Warpaint
Renaissance - Beyoncé
And here are the honorable mentions. I didn’t give these the attention I wanted, but this year I was just overwhelmed by those albums above that I will definitely give these ones another chance. Maybe not all of them. Let’s see what the new year will bring...
Traumazine - Megan Thee Stallion
Nymph - Shygirl
Fossora - Björk
The Theory of Whatever - Jamie T
Redcar les adorables etoiles - Christine and The Queens
Entering Heaven Alive - Jack White
Car Therapy Sessions - Faye Webster
The Car - Arctic Monkeys
Here’s to the new year. If it can’t bring anything good (I pray that won’t be the case), at least may it be bring another ton of great music.
silly headcanon,, outside of the club, jamie is a huge metalhead and loves to do her own gigs (she shreds on the drums) but a lot of people don't recognize her since she looks like an entirely different person outside of her club sugar wear.
she's even collabed with vanessa once in a show >:3c they're best friends.
