 NUMBER TEN IS THIS DEBUT ALBUM FROM A POPULAR FEMALE ARTIST 

 

#10 - OVER IT - SUMMER WALKER 

 

 

albeit a bit long, summer walker's over is

a cohesive, murky debut which deserved the 

hype and first week numbers it got. summer does 

a great job of being authentic through her music 

as well as appealing to the common r&b/hip-hop

listeners with her impressive features but remains true

to herself. summer sounds...well like summer, whereas

other artists find themselves in a box. i really wish 

her nothing but the best and would like to thank her

for this amazing debut.

 

personal favorites: over it, potential  

[worldwide angel]

 NUMBER NINE REALLY SHOULD BE HIGHER BUT THERE ARE JUST BETTER AND MORE INTERESTING ALBUMS 

 

#9 - HOT PINK - DOJA CAT 

 

the audacity of some of you to say that 

you think amala is the better record  

not only is hot pink consistently good, its 

also the more interesting, versatile and more

importantly focused record. the only downside 

really is having #him as a producer on some

of the songs. despite that, doja really proved 

to be more than a meme but not catering 

to the masses. 

 

personal favorites: shine, streets, better than me

[TheWayWeWere]

Doja Cat  nice girl, I hope she finds success like Cardi

[madonnas]

Only Doja song I’ve heard is Moo still

she has so many opportunities but her label is horrible at capitalizing on her viral success

nnnnn her discography is severely underrated

[worldwide angel]

NUMBER EIGHT GOES TO ONE OF THE GREATEST RECORDS RELEASED THIS YEAR

 

#8 - TITANIC RISING - WEYES BLOOD

 

 

weyes blood's fourth album made a splash 

in the music community online, one review 

comparing it to the works of joni mitchell

with production that definitely calls to the 

past but with something more modern. 

what really makes this album different for me 

is the exceptional lyrics and topics it covers

the inevitable changes that come in life as

well as dating in the twenty-first century.

[worldwide angel]

NUMBER SEVEN...I CAN'T BELIEVE THE GIRLS SLEPT ON NUMBER SEVEN

 

#7 - BLOOD - KELSEY LU

 

this is probably one of the best if not 

the best debut album to have dropped this

year... the raw instrumentation and her lush 

vocals are to die for. bops like "due west" and 

soty contenders like "atlantic" and "foreign car"

are more than enough to prove why this slept 

on debut is one of the ten best albums of the 

year.

[worldwide angel]

NUMBER SIX IS NOT AS BAD AS EVERYONE MADE IT OUT TO BE

 

#6 - CHARLI - CHARLI XCX 

 

 

despite the two gp-friendly singles, charli 

returns with her highly anticipated self titled 

album. i actually enjoy the album still and it 

might be her best album  . i feel like the album 

title sums up the record well. charli does what 

we know charli for: the pc music influenced

production, the myriad of features but charli 

also lets us in on her personal life which i for 

one really appreciated. songs like "sliver cross" 

tell of her loyalty to her friends, "i don't wanna

know" is one of the many great call backs to 

true romance era charli and we get sappy 

romantic charli with "official". i guess i really

like getting to know charli past her social 

presence which is...there all right.

[worldwide angel]

NUMBER FIVE WILL BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR  A LOT OF YET TO BE DEBUTS

 

#5 - WHEN I GET HOME - SOLANGE 

solange really came swinging with this

masterpiece and may have invented 

and if not popularized a new genre. 

with a drive to pay homage to her

hometown and her blackness, this 

album results in one of the richest

experiences that a person could have

in 2019. "when i get home" should 

be a reminder to some that maybe 

"simplicity is key"...or at least what

seems to be simplicity to several 

listeners.

[worldwide angel]

NUMBER FOUR IS A TESTAMENT TO THIS ARTIST'S POTENTIAL WHEN NO LONGER TETHERED TO THE CLUTCHES OF A MAJOR LABEL 

 

#4 - SONGSFORYOU - TINASHE 

after getting out of that excuse of a

label, tinashe took eighteen months 

to tease, go silent and tease some 

more before releasing one of the best

projects of the year. she showcases 

versatility by going from synthpop 
("perfect crime" and "save room for us")

to the trademark alternative r&b we all 

know and love her for with "life's too short"

and "so much better", sprinkling in trap gold 

with grits like "cash race" and "link up". i can 

say much more about this record but i'll 

leave this review with wise words...

tinashe always wins  

 

[worldwide angel]

NUMBER THREE IS A TESTAMENTS TO THIS ARTIST'S GROWTH

 

#3 - NORMAN F***ING ROCKWELL - LANA DEL REY 

lana del rey returns with what may be her

best album yet. with one of the messiest

releases in recent memory, lana doesn't

fail to deliver a cohesive project with

exceptional lyricism and a sound that

only highlights her vocals. the strongest

aspect of the album for me would be

the narrative: presenting a mature woman

who acknowledges that her relationship may

not be the best but they are still drawn

towards one another. norman ****ing rockwell

is for sure one of the best albums of 2019

and possibly, this decade.
 

[worldwide angel]

NUMBER TWO IS THIS ALBUM FROM ATRL'S FAVORITE MEMEPG 

 

#2 - THANK U, NEXT - ARIANA GRANDE 

 

while not as interesting as sweetener, the

production holds up well on this record,

the real 'star' of the album is the narrative.

reflecting on years of tragedies and a whirlpool

of emotions, grande does what an artist does

at times like this: expresses her thoughts more

explicitly in comparison to her last LP, 'sweetener'.

instead of expressing her sadness in situations as

so, grande takes it to the next step: critiquing the actions

of those around her, the media but most importantly,

herself. the accountability that grande shows: examining

her flaws and rationalizing them, accrediting said flaws

to explain why her relationships fall through and

doubling on the introspection that she dabbled in with

sweetener, all of those components are what

really makes this album exceptional.

[worldwide angel]

NUMBER ONE NEEDS NO EXPLANATION. 

 

#1 - MAGDALENE - FKA TWIGS

i am personally so proud of twigs for her

journey as well as her growth, clearly

displayed throughout the album: lyricism,

production, vocals as well as the visual

aspect of the album. songs like “home with you”

explore the devastating aspects of a relationship:

how partners view themselves and each other,

the lack of communication, the self discovery.

the heart shattering “mirrored heart” might just

well be the most tear jerking track on the album:

the thought of comparing relationships, that are or seem

sustainable to your faltering romance, coming to the

conclusion that the connection between the two of

you is broken. with magdalene, twigs evolved into what

i like to call a “worldbuilder”, an artist who’s music

immerses the listener into their world, the best

of them all being bjork in my opinion.
