From The Weeknd to Rosalía to Beyoncé and PUP, here are the top albums of the year, as chosen by Star Tracks curators.
“Five O’s on me like the Olympics,” Earl Sweatshirt drawls on “2010,” creating just enough space in his delivery for the double entendre to sink in. Punchy, playful and subtly subversive, the line is a perfect microcosm of “SICK!” Earl’s predictably stellar fourth album.
Can you tell Brent Faiyaz is independent? “WASTELAND” is a reminder that everything can be done yourself, from trending on TikTok, delving into R&B’s intoxicating debauchery and outshining the masters. Amid the sparse drums, brooding bass lines and serene violins, Faiyaz mires within the life of a star.
“Love, Damini,” is the Nigerian artist’s sixth studio album, released in July. The project features a number of collabs that weave in different sounds from genres including “Rollercoaster” with J Balvin and “Wild Dreams” with Khalid. Yet, throughout the album, Burna Boy still delivers the electric Afro-fusion beats he is known and loved for.
While I’m surely not in the same place I was five years ago blaring ‘Ctrl’ and not everyone can relate to her lyrics right here and now, SZA’s ability to put so much of herself into her art and articulate the very human emotions we all experience — and often have trouble expressing — is a much-needed voice for this generation.
Sawayama’s 2000s pop/soft-rock numbers like “Hurricanes” and “Forgiveness” perhaps stand out the most, bringing you back to a sense of familiarity of the soundtracks behind childhood coming-of-age films on Disney or watching pop icons like Kelly Clarkson and P!nk on the MuchMusic Countdown in the morning.The transition from the end of the first song, “Four Chords” to the second, “Totally Fine,” is reason enough for this album to be considered one of the best of the year.
