Eeveelution Posted December 27, 2019 Author Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) 50. Kacey Musgraves - Same Trailer, Different Park (2013) contemporary country, singer/songwriter Before AOTY Grammys, before Christmas holiday specials, and before becoming the patron saint of all twitter gays, Kacey Musgraves had already arrived with the country debut of the decade. On Same Trailer, Different Park, Kacey drapes her wistful melodies and gently strummed guitar over tales of unsatisfying relationships and the cyclical nature of small-town life. Of course, if that doesn’t interest you, “Follow Your Arrow” threw the first brick at stonewall too. Yeehaw Listen: "Merry Go Round" 49. Nao - For All We Know (2016) electropop, alt r&b Nao’s self-described ‘wonky-funk’ style made her stand out as one of my favourite r&b artists of the decade. Her debut For All We Know is full of inspired production flourishes, the candyfloss guitar plucks on “Get to Know Ya”, the crunchy bass on “Trophy” (courtesy of one A.K. Paul), the shapeshifting outro of “DYWM”. But it’s Nao’s voice that’s the star here. Her nimble and almost effortless sounding singing perfectly fits the needs of each song, bouncing off of the album's colourful production. Listen: "Get to Know Ya" 48. St. Vincent - Masseduction (2017) art pop As that cover art would suggest, Masseduction imagines a bold, outrageous world where Annie Clark’s art pop sensibilities are re-purposed into strobe-lit choruses and neon synthscapes. Of course, the party gotta end sometime and some of the most interesting work of her career lies in the ballads; the crushing honesty of “Happy Birthday, Johnny” and the sweeping string denouement of “Slow Disco”. So controversial yet so brave, on Masseduction Annie proved that after 10 years in the game she could still find new and exciting ways to demonstrate her artistry. Listen: "Slow Disco" 47. Laura Marling - Once I Was an Eagle (2013) contemporary folk, singer/songwriter Few artists had such a consistently strong run of albums this decade as Laura Marling, but Once I Was an Eagle was her masterwork. Only 23(!) at the time of release, Laura showed substantial growth as a songwriter from her first three records, her guitar work more complex, her ruminations on failed romance more biting. Opening with a four-song suite that is surely the best work of her career, the album is nonetheless consistently excellent from start to finish. It's a modern folk staple. Listen: "Where Can I Go?" 46. Miranda Lambert - The Weight of These Wings (2016) contemporary country Written after a highly-publicised divorce, Miranda apparently refused to give interviews for this double album, letting the music speak for itself. At its heart, Wings is a plainly honest singer-songwriter record, with some of her most personal writing showcased on songs like “Tin Man”. Of course, at 24 songs, Miranda indulges in country styles ranging from wistful Americana (“Getaway Driver”) to rugged heartland rock (“Six Degrees of Separation”). She masterfully balances witty and emotional writing throughout, crafting one of the most engaging country albums of the decade. Listen: "Six Degrees" 45. Kali Uchis - Isolation (2018) contemporary r&b, neo-soul I don’t know if anyone was expecting Kali Uchis to deliver one of the best debuts of the decade, but she did anyway. On Isolation, Kali brings together a range of influences, from r&b-to-doo-wop-to-dancehall, to craft one of the most vibrant, kaleidoscopic albums of the decade. In contrast to this, her lyrics are often direct and brutally honest. A line like “my mama’s never on coke” almost doesn’t register among the sugar rush Nintendo 64 synths of “In My Dreams”. Such is the winning formula of Isolation, a perfect storm of lush production and immaculate sound design brought back down to Earth by Kali’s plainspoken storytelling. Listen: "In My Dreams" 44. Rihanna - Anti (2016) contemporary r&b, alternative r&b Rihanna was once our most reliable pop star, consistently delivering classic singles and maybe one or two revelatory album tracks with each era. But when she went radio silent for a few years it was perhaps for the best. Anti is built upon timely alt-r&b production and full of memorable Badgalriri quotables. Most importantly, for the first time in her career each song seemed to be part of a greater whole, a fully realised, cohesive project. It would be wrong to call Anti Rihanna’s debut, but for me it was her first proper album. Listen: "Yeah, I Said It" 43. Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear (2015) chamber folk, singer/songwriter Josh Tillman doesn’t always make it easy to like him. He comes across as pretentious and arrogant, a resident Laurel Canyon know-it-all. But on I Love You, Honeybear he captured lightning in a bottle. For once his incisive lyricism was supported by genuinely strong melodies and mellifluous chamber folk instrumentation. Above soft guitar strums, he shares his caustic humour and at times genuinely affecting stories about falling for his wife.Listening to this album makes me wonder if maybe, just maybe, he deserves rights after all. Listen: "Holy ****" 42. Kelela - Take Me Apart (2017) uk bass, alternative r&b Did anyone this decade fuse classic r&b influences with forward-thinking production better than Kelela? Released almost 4 years to the day after her excellent Cut 4 Me mixtape, Take Me Apart somehow pushed her signature sound even further. Two years on, the production still feels ahead of its time; the futuristic dreamscape of “Enough” sounds like it would feel more at home in 3017, while “LMK” envisions a radio hit for our great (great-great-great) grandchildren. All of this experimentation is grounded by Kelela’s silken vocals and her familiar melodies – it’s one of the most inventive debuts of the decade. Listen: "LMK" 41. Big Thief - U.F.O.F. (2019) indie folk After 2015’s excellent Capacity, Big Thief solidified their status as one of The Best Bands of the 2010s not by amplifying their sound, but by stripping everything back. On U.F.O.F., Adrianne Lenker and co. craft 12 mystical folk songs with a focus on deft songwriting and vivid imagery. “Pigeons fall like snowflakes at the border / Moon drips like water from her shoulder” Adrianne sings on “Orange”, a song which could have emerged from the ether any time in the past 500 years. It isn’t easy to make such hushed, subtle music so interesting, but here Big Thief pull it off with aplomb. Listen: "Orange" Edited December 27, 2019 by Eeveelution

Eeveelution Posted December 29, 2019 Author Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) 40. Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness (2015) art pop, chamber pop Pretentious art gays be damned, Have You in My Wilderness is Julia Holter’s magnum opus. It is her most accessible album, but accessible for Julia Holter means there are still songs inspired by obscure novellas and legends of California bandidos. Wilderness is the perfect marriage of art and pop, sweeping orchestral crescendos coexist alongside hooky pop choruses to great effect. Julia described the arrangements as “simple”, but there are more than enough sonic twists and turns to keep me interested. While some of her other albums could feel like endurance tests, Wilderness finds balance between experimentation and accessibility. Listen: "Betsy On The Roof" 39. Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon (2015) art pop, chamber pop Honeymoon is Lana’s most esoteric and inaccessible record. A vanity project. Drone-pop. “Her worst album”. But for whatever reason it still resonates with many. Honeymoon finds Lana at her most eccentric, with fixations on pink flamingos and the hardships of trigonometry. On “Salvatore” she blows-up a light soft ice-cream snack to silver screen drama-level proportions. It’s an album unapologetically Lana, with some of the most beautiful music of her career to be found on deep cuts like the muddy trap-jazz of “Art Deco” or the somnolent trip hop of “Religion”. A decade highlight, if you have the patience. Listen: "Art Deco" 38. Solange - A Seat at the Table (2016) neo-soul It’s easily the best album of this decade. It’s musically and lyrically ahead of the times, and aesthetically, my mind was blown and rewired by her accompanying performance pieces. Listen: "Don't Touch My Hair" 37. Beach House - 7 (2018) dream pop, neo-psychedelia Beach House at, yes, 7 albums in keep finding new pockets to explore within their signature sound. “Lemon Glow” practically shimmers with its bio-luminescent synths whlle “Pay No Mind” trudges along like a lost slowcore gem from 20 years ago. "Last Ride" is their most experimental song to date. But of course, there’s a sense of familiarity that comes with each Beach House record, you know what you’re getting and there’s nothing wrong with that. Conclusion: this slaps and will always slap. Love this band and their live show. Listen: "Pay No Mind" 36. Natalie Prass - Natalie Prass (2015) chamber pop, pop soul It’s strange to me now that Natalie Prass’s self-titled debut was my 2015 album of the year. It’s so easy to write it off, even I forget its charms sometimes. But whenever I revisit this album I’m reminded of just how special it is, the opening horns of “My Baby Don’t Understand Me” greeting me like an old friend. Somehow, in some chamber pop alchemy, Natalie and the orchestra at Spacebomb Studios crafted a classic. Listen: "Never Over You" 35. Katy B - On a Mission (2011) dance-pop, uk funky Like all great breakthrough albums, On A Mission came out not really sounding like anything else before it. A dubstep-in-pop experience, Katy shares her woes of guys with bad chat and the travails of nights out over some of the most forward-thinking production coming out of the UK at the time. It’s an album I’ve loved for some time now, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Listen: "Witches Brew" 34. Perfume Genius - No Shape (2017) art pop No Shape in name, No Shape in nature, Perfume Genius’s fourth record is an amalgam of genres and influences that ultimately ends up sounding like nothing else. It’s an album I really appreciate lyrically too. On the pillowy "Just Like Love", Mike encourages a kid to not be ashamed of his femininity – and it somehow doesn’t sound corny. On closer “Alan” he is mystified by the fact that his life has stability, which is something we love to see. The unconventional soundscapes and unique lyrical topics make this a stunning and, yes, shapeless album. Listen: "Alan" 33. FKA twigs - MAGDALENE (2019) art pop, glitch pop It’s so beautifully real and melancholy; I just go back to it, night and day. I’m late to the game for enjoying all of her past work but now I’m a solid fan, in for life. The way the whole album plays together is exactly what I love about albums. She shares a perfect window into a season of her life, and you get to feel intimately close to her headspace at that time. Listen: "Cellophane" 32. Jamie xx - In Colour (2015) uk bass The xx’s first two albums were all monochromatic doom and gloom, but as you might gather from the cover and title, Jamie xx had very different ideas for his solo album. In Colour is one of the most jubilant, carefree albums I’ve ever heard. It’s full of little details that make me smile, the skittering piano arpeggios in “The Rest is Noise”, the iconic stroller line in “Good Times”: I wanna live inside the steel drum laden paradise of "Obvs”. My only complaint is.. where is album two? Listen: "Obvs" 31. Beach House - Depression Cherry (2015) dream pop Beach House released five – or six – albums this decade, depending on who you ask. Some of them were great, some of them were excellent. If you didn't already like Beach House you’d probably put on Depression Cherry and wonder if you’d heard this song before. But if you’re anything like me you’d hear the opening notes of “Levitation” and Victoria’s siren-like vocals, and once again be swept up into their languorous world. What can I say? They blow my mind. Listen: "Levitation" Edited December 29, 2019 by Eeveelution

Especially the 1-2-3 punch of the last three and that of Honeymoon, ASATT and 7. Still need to check out Natalie Prass' debut even though something tells me I cannot stand this puta.

SLIME Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 WOMP I forgot all about Katy B -- good record though. Love how much you stan for Beach House, we have that in common. Wilderness is a prime mix of art and pop true, I may have snubbed it? Honeymoon had to grow on me over time but I've been especially loving it just this last month. She is kind of a legend, huh. In Colour is insanely well produced, just fruscrating the way some of these producers love to disappear. FKA beautiful. Keep doing ur thing--

Eeveelution Posted January 2, 2020 Author Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) 30. Jessy Lanza - Oh No (2016) uk bass, synthpop, alternative r&b Very few artists understand pop music better than Jessy Lanza. She wields her repetitious lyrics and irresistible melodies like missiles that lodge themselves in your brain, stuck there seemingly forever. Jessy deserves credit for her vocals too, she pulls of the bratty cheerleader chanting of "VV Violence" as effortlessly as her breathy turn on "BB Talk". Indeed, Oh No pulls off many styles successfully, from the glimmering synth arpeggios of "New Ogi" to the bassy r&b of "Vivica"; it's an album that rewards relistens and is always one I go back to. Listen: "It Means I Love You" 29. Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly (2015) conscious hip hop, jazz rap, west coast hip hop if we were to pretend that music was objective, that you could quantify every aspect of an album and rank them based upon it, this would be my AOTD. I am never not impressed by the sheer amount of painstaking detail in this album. Kendrick’s masterful lyricism, the incredible production and inspired sampling choices, the way the story is threaded throughout each song. But music isn’t objective, and as much as I love To Pimp a Butterfly, there are definitely some albums I'm more attached to, so 29 is the right spot for this. Listen: "How Much a Dollar Cost" 28. Tame Impala - Lonerism (2012) neo-psychedelia Listening to this album really takes me back to being 16 and thinking I was the only person in my city who had ever heard of a Tame Impala. Nostalgia alone can’t bring album to this list (we’d be looking at Electra Heart in the top 20), the album still holds up amazingly. Songs like “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” combine Kevin Parker’s fascination with psychedelia with an understanding of great pop melodies. More progressive moments like “Apocalypse Dreams” are fantastic too. Honestly, the highlights are so good I can overlook a couple of weaker songs on the second half. Or maybe that’s just the nostalgia. Listen: "Apocalypse Dreams" 27. Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion (2015) dance-pop, synthpop I mean, do I need to explain? This album is on everybody’s list. There have been tons of thinkpieces about why Emotion resonated with us the way it did, but I think there’s a pretty simple explanation. It’s just good solid pop music. The production is slick and smooth with a generous helping of pop glitter, her lyrics are universal enough so that people can relate to almost every line at some point or another, the melodies stick like glue. It hits the mark on every metric and then pushes it a lil further for good measure. A pop classic. Listen: "LA Hallucinations" 26. Angel Olsen - My Woman (2016) indie rock, singer/songwriter I loved the world-weary psychedelic folk of Burn Your Fire for No Witness but on My Woman Angel Olsen showed a newfound growth and confidence that makes this record even better. Angel is a chameleon, the vocal performances not alike on any two songs: She’s incandescent with rage on “Not Gonna Kill You”, playful and defiant on “Shut Up Kiss Me”, and basically every human emotion ever experienced on the penultimate “Woman”. This means there is never a dull moment on My Woman, it’s one of the most singular rock albums of the 10s. Listen: "Shut Up Kiss Me" 25. Laura Mvula - The Dreaming Room (2016) art pop Laura Mvula really tore out the contents of her heart to construct a cathedral-sized chamber pop expedition for it to be paid dust by critics and the GP. She even got dropped by her label after this, damn. I’m still so impressed by the arrangements on this album; How “Lucky Man” stacks layers upon itself like some art-pop matryoshka, how “Show Me Love” unfurls painstakingly across its 6 minutes. There are accessible moments too – right at the end of the album there’s a big bop in “Phenomenal Woman”. The most underrated entry on my countdown, The Dreaming Room is a strange, beautiful album which deserved a lot more love. Listen: "Phenomenal Woman" 24. Janelle Monáe - The ArchAndroid (2010) art pop, contemporary r&b It’s almost impossible to listen to another album after finishing The ArchAndroid without feeling a little shortchanged. Most debut albums aim for 10 or 11 songs that are well-written and kinda sound like they belong together, but Janelle Monáe imagines an entire world for this album, the songs woven together with orchestral suites and an overarching storyline. This would be impressive even if the music here wasn’t so damn good, but it is! Before The ArchAndroid, there had never been an album where space age pop ditties could sit alongside medieval folk songs and psychedelic rock freak-outs, and there will never be another one either. Listen: "Dance or Die" 23. Sleigh Bells - Treats (2010) noise pop When Sleigh Bells came careering into the 2010s their music had the subtlety of blunt force trauma. Though the songs themselves were abrasive, their sickly-sweet melodies meant they were as catchy as the best pop music is. Of course, too much sugar will rot your teeth and the album wisely bows out after 30 minutes, careful not to overstay its welcome. We all know that Sleigh Bells fizzled out after this, but with such a singular masterpiece as a debut who can blame them. Listen: "Tell 'Em" 22. Mitski - Be the Cowboy (2018) art pop, indie rock On Be the Cowboy, Mitski delivered her victory lap, a masterwork where she tried her hand at just about any style she felt like: noise pop, new wave, folk. The album features her keenest, most effective songwriting yet. Always economical, Mitski drops little musical breadcrumbs throughout, a fascinating piece of imagery here, an impossibly hooky melody there, then pulls back and tries something new. Yeah, we could complain about how the songs are too short, but instead maybe we should talk about how “Blue Light” shifts from jangly alt-country to ethereal dream pop in barely 90 seconds? Listen: "Blue Light" 21. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (2011) art rock, singer/songwriter It’s rare that an artist reaches a new artistic peak 20 years after their debut, but PJ Harvey is not your regular artist. Polly is obviously known for reinventing herself and Let England Shake is arguably the best example of this. She is almost unrecognisable as the “Teclo” hitmaker, her vocals and writing style both worlds away from her classic 90s albums. Let England Shake especially stands out as having the boldest and most impressive writing of her career; it’s one thing to successfully pull off political writing, but have it be just as relevant 8 years down the line? That’s talent babe. Listen: "The Words that Maketh Murder" Edited January 2, 2020 by Eeveelution
theblackestday Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 This is a very talented batch, and I like your TPAB defense I don't know ms Mvula but let me saving the album cause I'm intrigued... she should pay you
