KasioKas Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 (edited) 10. chemistry - Kelly Clarkson Though this wasn't the aggressive, revengeful divorce album I had hoped for, with belting and scathing lyrics, it was still a serviceable pop album, with tracks that grew on me in time, particularly the ballads. I do wonder whether she was silenced from airing out too much dirty laundry and alas i'm glad she's free and the few upbeat tracks about breakups were some of my faves. She's such an undeniably great vocalist i'd eat up anything she served tbh. 09. Grudges - Kiana Ledé Love Kiana, her RnB is silky smooth and honest and her voice is really good, she has some great bops that are huge earworms so I've followed her career closely and this album is no exception. It's sexy at times, vulnerable others but overall melts together nicely. There are some haunting songs based on her horrible SA experience that's hard to listen too and I applaud her for speaking up about it in interviews and using music as a tool to 'air out the negative' so to speak, and the bops were on repeat for the better part of this year! She did not disappoint at all 08. 3 of Us - FLO My girls surprised us all with an EP, and as someone who has at lightning speed become a fan of them because or their harmonies and GREAT ear for hits, I was super excited for this! ; this short EP remained on repeat since release, these may seemingly be rejects that didn't make the full LP but they're still pretty solid and it's wise to stay on people's minds with these droplets while working on the LP. They deserve to blow up in the UK/US and I hope they remain humble and grow in maturity with their lyrics in time. Every song on this EP is fantastic except maybe 'Suite Life' that I played a little less because it just didn't connect like the others. 07. Diamonds & Dancefloors - Ava Max Admittedly not a fan of Ava before this release and I still know nothing about her, but her last project had a handful of pop hits I kept on repeat. THIS ALBUM however, shocked the hell out of me, it is imo the best pop release this year and I have to give her credit, she knows how to pick great tracks. She can sing extremely well on them, brings the energy and sass and even her adlibs are well done. I'm very impressed, it fed my little pop heart, it wasn't cringe lyrically and though there were very few duds, I liked a large majority of the album and kept them on repeat in my playlists all year long even though it was released early in the year, so many choruses that kept coming back to me, well done ms. Ava i'm definitely keeping up with your career now... 06. Feel A Way - Gene Noble Gene is an extremely underrated vocalist, he has the level of control I see from 'Tori Kelly' for instance, and isn't afraid to sing complicated runs and riffs both in and out of studio. He's also good at emoting sadder songs with a softer candence that works really well. I will always support this man because he's a rare talent and I hope he never stops releasing. This project was excellent, he poured his heart out lyrically and his voice carried it so much. 'Whatever it is' in particular, is one of the best RnB tracks released this year, it's thoughtful, 'cute' lyrically and vocally very impressive, particularly the outro. So impressed. I really hope RnB spaces embrace him more as time passes, and he finds an even stronger fan base so he can continue to fill my ears with his talent. 05. Christmas With Brandy - Brandy My Queen. Whenever this woman releases, the world stops for me, because the vocal bible is about to bless me with new harmonies, runs and melodies that I know I will have on repeat for months. This is no exception despite being an Xmas release, 6 original xmas songs was such a surprise and i'm so grateful as a long time fan, that she didn't just cover classics and disappear. The originals are all super sweet, very well written, and sung in a way only Brandy and a few talented musicians can emulate. I'm so in love with this voice, and i'm so glad I didn't have to wait YEARS to hear her sing something new; from the sexy, sultry 'Christmas Party for Two' to the covers that outdid many others in my xmas playlists because she updated them to an RnB genre; I will play these well into 2024, IDGAF! 04. Peace in the Madness - Sipprell Sipprell is an artist of immense vocal talent, I discovered her late last year and just deep dived into her discography, and fell in love with almost everything I heard. I almost became angry that I didn't discover her sooner; her vocal control is insane, her runs are airy and beautiful and her lyrics in many songs are meaningful and thought-provoking. Her song dedicated to her yet unborn child in particular, 'Already Yours' I had on repeat for MONTHS because of how sweetly it was sung and written. The vocal runs on 'Unravel' are so impressive and lyrics heartfelt, the INCREDIBLE portrayal of almost-desperate longing on 'Wish You Were Here' makes me feel just as sad when singing along because of how well it is written. My god this woman needs to blow up, and I was so happy and excited to hear she was dropping an album despite her small fanbase and reach. I immediately got tickets to see her live in London and sang along to every word and as i'd HOPED, she sings just as exquisitely live as she does in the studio. I really, really, hope she builds a fan base so she's encouraged to keep singing and releasing, as she teased quitting on twitter. My God having her quit now would break my heart. The final 3... Spoiler tori (deluxe) - Tori Kelly Tori did exactly what her fanbase has been asking for for years, put that incredible voice on songs a bit more upbeat, and have a bit more fun, with carefree lyrics to match. This is a big breath of fresh air, she sounds happy, sassy, and confident on these, without forgoing her amazing belts and runs. Every song here is welcome, except 'young gun' which felt a tad out of place as the energy didn't match the others and was sang a bit more mellow. I can't wait to hear these live (in person, though the live tracks on the deluxe are excellent and introduce new runs and high notes just when you thought the original was perfect, typical Tori), and support her so she can have the numbers she needs to prove she can release the full LP, which is what I was waiting for instead of this EP. I've been fed a snack with this EP, i'm hungry for the whole dinner now, let's go! Spoiler Snow Angel - Reneé Rapp Renee seemingly came out of nowhere with one of my favourite tracks of the year 'Snow Angel', great charismatic and funny interviews and then the full album that had funny, sad, and unapologetic lyrics sung by a powerful voice. This woman can belt!, aided no doubt by her stint in musicals. Several songs grew on me over time and now a large majority of this album are on repeat at various points of the year. 'Poison Poison' is hilarious, especially the outro and she accompanies that humour in tracks like 'Tummy Hurts' that makes you smile as you sing along. I really wanna see her live next year, I'm ready to scream these lyrics out loud, espescially the title track that uncovers such a haunting tale explained in interviews but written lyrically in just a vague enough way that not everyone gets it at first. Well done. Spoiler My 21st Century Blues - RAYE No doubt my album of the year. This album is sad, upsetting, happy, sexy, brutally raw and honest. My gosh, it's such a rollercoaster but somehow melts together perfectly. Her VOICE, vibrato when she's singing meaningfully, almost operatic at times, belts, all beautifully sung. The production is unique, and aides her voice very well, and her pen writes earworms, clever lines and rhymes some of the most terrifying experiences of her life. I can't praise this album enough, and her rise to stardom as a result, in the UK espescially, as her own singer and not a writer of hits for many others, is a big 'FINALLY' moment!
