Pink Matter Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Some cute albums here. Ssion is probably my favorite. Negro Swan was alright and EiL is solid. Way too overhated. serpentwithfeet
Tom Vercetti Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 soil is my favorite from this batch. A lot of these i'm unfamiliar with tbh. ella mai's debut wasn't it. Her eps >
Remmy Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Everything Is Love It wasn't terrible or anything, though. Your top 3 is pretty nice actually, especially BOSS.
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 22, 2018 Author ATRL Moderator Posted December 22, 2018 60 - 56 Quote Initially this was pretty okay to me and went over my head but it's grown on me some more recently. Some really brilliant pop songs on this. They remind me a bit of Tegan and Sara but less one note ✨. They put out a deluxe version recently that was really not needed but hey get those 10 extra streams. Serves: Figure It Out, Emotion, Värmland Quote A bit difficult to get into or really even understand what she's singing about most times ff. I remember watching the album movie for this and having zero idea what I was watching. It all went over my head but still a great album! Just looking at the individual songs. Great energy through out... and she mixes things up constantly. Never feels like a dull listen. Samaritan was the real standout for me... not as convoluted and such a brilliant pop track. Serves: Watches Watches, Simmer Down, Samaritan Quote A great followup to Ephorize.. I really don't how she's able to put out TWO albums in one year but she did that. "Eden" has Cupcakke criticizing our culture, making sex bops (as expected but still welcome) and tracks on issues like bullying. Cupcakke's verses are tighter than ever and the production on this is really great. My only problem was with a lot of the hooks. Typically repeated or just felt already done from her previous records Serves: Quiz, A.U.T.I.S.M., Cereal and Water Quote I found the cover so gorgeous I had to check out the music. Lead singer from a disco band "Escort"... honestly who? I ended up really enjoying this. Felt pretty modern for a disco album and it flow so nicely so I end up listening to the entire thing. Great vocals and production... I'd say Solange if she went a more disco route but honestly still Solange sweetie Serves: Emeralds, Illusions, No Name Quote I thought this was a country album for the longest time (but I'm seeing no country tags anywhere so...) I kept returning to this all year cus the melodies are really gorgeous on it and whew her voice. So emotive. Also the cover is hideous and doesn't match the album at all. Boyfriend is such a highlight.. kinda reminds me of Lana a little bit especially the verses. Serves: Castles, Boyfriend, Feels Good

theblackestday Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Waiting for the top 50 for things to get spicy and interesting But that ionnalee album was a cute girl and Eden has Quiz which is maybe SOTY so points made
Eeveelution Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Quote My only problem was with a lot of the hooks.Typically repeated or just felt already done from her previous records True, if Cupcakke writes more effective hooks (or just hires a songwriter or something) she'll deliver rap AOTY i know it.
Remmy Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I actually skipped out on Eden Her viral hits + Queen Elizabitch were fun but Ephorize made me lose interest, even though that had a few cute songs.

I will give her some streams as a thank you, and if she sounds like Disco Solange, then I’m here for it.
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 22, 2018 Author ATRL Moderator Posted December 22, 2018 55 - 51 Quote In hindsight, this would be an EP and I'd squeeze in one more album in album list aslkasjlk but Allie X did that on Super Sunset still. A bit too short for my liking especially with the characters she introduced with this but still a great project from Allie X. Generally no weak track and some of her best writing on Not So Bad in La and Little Things. Serves: Little Things, Not So Bad in La, Science Quote Beautiful vocals and production on CLOVES' debut. It's not all new tracks and some of the production starts feeling stale after a while but her voice is so emotional and the lyrics are gorgeous. A very powerful voice on someone so young. Excited to hear more from her whew. I was obsessed with Bringing The House Down for a minute so I'm glad the album met my expectations. Serves:Bringing The House Down, Wasted Time, Better Now Quote She kinda did that on this. A great pop album with throwback vibes. But the lyrics are so relevant to today's political climate. Short Court Style was the first song I heard from her and the rest of the album didn't disappoint. Serves: Short Court Style, Sisters, Ain't Nobody Quote Troy really did that huh? The production, writing and vocals are all great. I like that this is 10 tracks too. Allows every track to shine though postcard could have been deleted. My only complaint is the tracklisting. It feels random especially in the 1st half. Seventeen to My My My is so random.. bitch I just got done crying.. can't just bop mindlessly right after Serves: Seventeen, Plum, Dance To This Quote Another short album on this list though Tove Styrke had the nerve to sneek in Vibe after a minute.Not as thought out as Kiddo but Sway is a great collection of pop songs. Very consistent bops and there's something muted or minimal about this that fits the short length and makes the songs a lot more enjoyable. Serves: Sway, I Lied, On A Level
Mark Rih Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Super Sunset ugh @ GOTY not being in your serves tho

Eeveelution Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Good / cute albums here! Sway was cute but like left no lasting impression on me. She really thought she did something with that useless Liability cover. Edited December 22, 2018 by Eeveelution
kiiwii Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 i'm late, but whew at Nicole Dollanganger Only Angels Have Wings is pretty. the rest of your list is still serving
lhdang2000 Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Bloom is cute. I haven't listened to Sway, but I've seen good reviews for it so I'll give it a try later.
TRF. Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Sway, Super Sunset and The Future and the Past
MP2K Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Forgot Ionlee and Lissie released. I typically like Lissie's releases. Years ago I neevr thought she would be my speed. Need to check out Adeline Natalia and Bloom
Pink Matter Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Ms. Prass missing the top 50? Poor ha It's not s/t but she still made several points
volition Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 i can't believe you're doing so many albums, and with graphics too, the effort whew most of these deserve the bottom 50 highlight tracks with too much filler
Kevin2803 Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 "Super Sunset" and "Bloom" are both cute, but not as good as the albums before.
TheWayWeWere Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Eden is not as good as Ephorize, but still has some good tracks Castles is amazing, probably my favorite album by hers as for now
