yeah, the videos are pretty bad this year, but Tension is the ONE for me, especially after watching analysis of it  

yeah maybe that was the real VOTY afterall...

Houdini is probably one of my faves, even if it is so simple. Tension is also nice. Enough for Love  

 

Taylor's videos are starting to look very cheap to me with all the unnecessary effects

yeah like Karma had potential but it looks like she's mashing up two video concepts into one

1. Mac Ayres - Comfortable Enough 

 

ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!! This was such an obsession and the fact that this is NOT better than his previous album, Magic 8Ball (2021) but it’s still such a great album, no skips, every tracks are so good and I just feeling like singing them out loud every time, mainly when I’m feeling sad/depressed/etc cause this is such a heartbreak/coping album, one of the songs is a fan favorite from his soundcloud (I’ll be your home now) which he recreated and another one is from a standalone single from 2019 which he revamped or should I say he’s making a Taylor’s Version of this cause he re-recorded and revamped it it sounds different but better but somehow I still love the original.

P.S. fun fact the album tracklist spells out a message “Living’s Too Much Giving, Something’s Gotta Change, I Can’t Go On Pretending To Be Comfortable Enough. It’s Not Me vs Myself Anymore. If You’re Feeling Lost, I’ll Be Your Home Now And We’ll Feel Better Again. Cuts Heal In Time, Everything Changes And That’s Alright.”

 

Key Tracks: I’ll Be Your Home Now, If You’re Feeling Lost, Comfortable Enough, Something’s Gotta Change/I Can’t Go On

 

2. Tinashe - BB/ANG3L

Now, this is the album I’ve been waiting for from her…  I know it’s short as hell, might as well call it an EP or mixtape but this is the sounds I’ve been waiting from her after Songs For You, the magic she made with Machinedrum is really magic… can’t wait for the part 2 and rooting for more Nashedrum collabs

 

Key Tracks: Talk To Me Nice, Tightrope, Gravity

 

3. Kelela - Raven 

THE COMEBACK ALBUM I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!!!! this was AOTY until around summer then I just kinda changed my mind (honestly the top 3 is more of a tie (again) this year) this is such an immaculate body of work, from Washed Away to Far Away every track transitions and connect very well to each other, especially that Raven to Bruises transitions like…. OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH I still wish she had released more visuals for this album like we need that Raven/Bruises/Sorbet short film

 

Key Tracks: Contact, Sorbet, Raven/Bruises, On The Run

 

4. Disclosure - Alchemy

I was waiting for an album from them since early 2022 to be honest, but I wasn’t expecting them to be surprise releasing a completely “solo” album, which honestly was different than what they’re usual sound (yes it’s still dance music, but real Disclosure fan will know that it’s different) and the singles they were dropping last year, anyway it was great and I loved it, the songs are growers too

 

Key Tracks: Talk on the Phone, Looking For Love, We Were In Love, Go The Distance

 

5. Sabrina Claudio - Archives & Lullabies

This is more like the deluxe version or B-Side of last year’s Based on a Feeling (think of The Fame Monster, Lana’s Paradise EP, etc) it has some gems that I think could’ve made the album last year but didn’t, and this is also her first independent release

 

Key Tracks: Right Decision, Leave While I Love You, Moan

 

6. 6LACK - Since I Have A Lover

This is 6LACK’s 3^rd album but this is his first album I am super obsessed with, especially with that cover….  it’s so pretty, he went off with that, and of course the music itself is really good, if you’re a R&B lover or a fan of his features run you need to check this out

 

Key Tracks: Stories In Motion, playin house, Fatal Attraction, Since I Have A Lover

 

7. Channel Tres - Real Cultural Shht

He was supposed to drop this as an album, but he dropped an EP instead with just 5 songs but they’re all bangers, so here we are… though it baffles me he didn’t even include one of the last year’s single “No Limit” which also had the literal same single cover as this album cover and is a bop, fingers crossed for the real album coming next year...

 

Key Tracks: 6am, All My Friends, Big Time

 

8. Snakehips - Never Worry

Honestly, I wasn’t even expecting a Snakehips album would get this far… but here we are… they really did it, it’s a great tropical house album, such a fun album, great featured artists too, if you want some fun dance/house music you need to check this out, this album features the likes of Rochelle Jordan, Tinashe, Tkay Maidza, Duckwrth, and more

 

Key Tracks: Sumthin Crazy, All Around The World, Show Me The Money

 

9.  Amber Navran – Knock on the Orange Door

This is the newest album out of the whole top 15 albums, released right before my birthday so it felt like a great birthday gift for me. In case you’re not familiar, Amber Navran is the female vocalist from a neo-soul/jazz band Moonchild which I also love, most of the songs are very short (2 minutes or less) and she released like 8(?) songs prior to the album which made almost half of the album wasn’t really new anymore but it sounded more complete with this album

 

Key Tracks: Easier, Away From the Noise, When Will I Learn

 

10. Daniel Caesar - NEVER ENOUGH

Loveeee this album, such an upgrade from his last, but I feel like i NEVER play this ENOUGH  

 

Key Tracks: Do You Like Me, Shot My Baby (I wish H.E.R. was featured on this), Disillusioned

 

11. Amaarae - Fountain Baby

The first time I ever heard of her name was on the KAYTRAMINE’s song “Sossaup” where she’s featured on, which is the best song on that album, and I liked her voice she sounds so UNIQUE! so after a while after this album got released I finally decided to check it out (also because I love the cover) and wow, it sounds very UNIQUE!, versatile but cohesive, breath of a fresh air, and a grower… and btw “Reckless & Sweet” reminds me of Rih’s Rude Boy

 

Key Tracks: Water From Wine, Aquamarie Luvs Ecstasy, Sociopathic Dance Queen

 

12. Victoria Monet – JAGUAR II

We’ve been waiting for this album for 3 WHOLE YEARS!!! and it finally came and was exactly what we wanted and more, honestly so glad of everything she’s achieved with this album, so long overdue she’s so talented

 

Key Tracks: How Does It Make You Feel, Stop (Asking Me 4Shyt), On My Mama

 

13. Austin Millz – Breathwork

This is a 6 track debut EP from a new DJ Austin Millz, he did a great job with this EP and 3/6 of these are literally my faves like… Sabrina Claudio, Alina Baraz, and Duckwrth I wish the other 3 were Tinashe, Channel Tres and Rochelle Jordan now that would’ve been my dream EP

 

Key Tracks: Familiar, Inhale/Exhale, Breathless

 

14. Jessie Ware – That! Feels Good!

If I based this list on plays, this album would’ve been top 10, honestly this is such a great pop record, but it’s not better than What’s Your Pleasure? and it kinda aged right now for me… also I’m glad that she released Freak Me Now as single with video but I wish it didn’t feature #that woman like the remix really wasn’t needed

 

Key Tracks: Hello Love, Freak Me Now, These Lips

 

15. Maeta – When I Hear Your Name

This album feels like it was filled with random rejects from other artists like SZA, Demi, Kehlani, etc with one of the song being a Queen cover (which I just found out few weeks ago that it was a cover) but somehow she did it very well, I love this album, it feels so cohesive

 

Key Tracks: Clarity (feat. Lucky Daye), **** Your Friend, Questions

 

the rest of the list:

16. Shay Lia - FACETS | she's been teasing this for A YEAR it finally came out and it was great

17. Jorja Smith - Falling Or Flying | the singles >>> the rest of the album

18. Amaka - Oasis | great debut EP from 1/2 of VanJess, mostly produced by Kaytranada

19. Terrace Martin & Alex Isley - I Left My Heart In Ladera | i just found out that Terrace Martin has released at least 3 albums this year wtf this is one of them

20. Kiefer - It's Ok, B U | lovely jazz inspired/instrumental album, great for lullaby

 

21. Bas - We Only Talk About Real **** When We're ****** Up | newest album of the whole list, one of my fave rappers ever, so underrated

22. Doja Cat - Scarlet | great album as a whole but as individual songs not so much

23. Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS | cute but not better than SOUR

24. Ava Max - Diamonds & Dancefloors | wish she had released this on its original date in 2022, was on rihpeat in the beginning of the year

25. SG Lewis - AudioLust & HigherLove | released on the same day as D&D, this was cute but not better than his prev

26. Yaeji - With a Hammer | too experimental for me but this was cute

27. Kali Uchis - Red Moon in Venus | this was sooo good but already aged for me

28. Kylie Minogue - Tension | this is here just for Tension (song) alone  the rest is kinda meh

29. Bebe Rexha - BeBe | surprisingly so good... the last 3 tracks on it are skips though

30. Masego - Masego 

 

31. (((O))) - (((4))) | her annual release is finally back... but this wasn't as good as her other 3 albums honestly

32. Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation | already aged for me and i hate flowers but most of the rest of the album was cute

33. Chlöe - In Pieces | if only she added the 4 singles (esp. Surprise) this would've been in top 20

34. Janelle Monáe - The Age of Pleasure | good album overall but the songs are short as hell

35. KaytrAminé - KaytrAminé | need kaytranada to do more collab projects

[Kiss It Better]

this is a category i randomly thought to add today because i kinda listen to a lot of non-2023 albums more than the 2023 albums itself  

 

1. Rochelle Jordan - Play With The Changes (2021)

BEST NON-2023 ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!! if this was a this year's release it would've been AOTY cause even though it took me a while to fully appriciate the whole body of work, it really is just THAT good  i love the production and everything about this album, can't wait for Rochelle's next project whenever that comes out...

Key Tracks: Dancing Elephants, Already, Love You Good, Count It, Situation

 

 

2. Beyonce - RENAISSANCE (2022)

even still without the visuals, this year the album got a new life and keeps getting better especially with the tour that happened this year and the tour film, if i could rank this as a 2023 album, it would've been AOTY

Key Tracks: Summer Renaissance, Plastic Off The Sofa, Cuff It, America Has A Problem

 

3. Sabrina Claudio - Based on a Feeling (2022)

The best album of 2022 is still hitting and sounds as fresh as the day it came out, as it should be... and with the B-Sides (Archives & Lullabies) released this year even though there's no repackaging or such to indicate that it has a deluxe version of anything, those new songs really gave this album a new life

Key Tracks: Still Strangers, IOU, Basic Needs, Protect Her

 

4. Mac Ayres - Magic 8Ball (2021)

The best album of the decade with only 8 songs is still on heavy rotation for me, in fact it keeps getting better, and the way i finally got to see live the best song on the album this year (Where U Goin Tonight) is such an achievement lol

Key Tracks: Where U Goin Tonight?, Nothing Else, Sunny & 62, Every Time

 

5. SZA - SOS (2022)

this one is kinda unfair cause it literally dropped at the end of last year, but it made my last year's list (while it's making everyone else's this year's list) but yeah this was a good album but it's NOT better than CTRL AT ALL it's Far.mp3 from it... and while she got all the success for this album i wish she milked it more

Key Tracks: Snooze, Blind, Open Arms
