I really want to root for Sevdaliza (and I do - her two previous albums were amazing). However, I can't lie, this one is very disappointing. It's not even the genre switch, because Alibi is great and easily the best song here. It's that most of the tracks sound boring and undercooked, and Sevdaliza has never been boring. Kind of feels like it was rushed after the massive success of Alibi.

Her last album was already amazing, but I prefer the vibe of this one. Rosalía did not disappoint, dare I say it might even be the best in her discography, although El Mal Querer is a worthy competitor. I love how ambitious, spiritual, and complex it is. Definitely an AOTY contender and a modern masterpiece.

One of my favorite dance-pop albums of the year. The songs are catchy and easy to enjoy, Jane's vocals are stunning, but what I love most is how personal it feels. After a near-tragedy, Jane uses dance music as a form of healing and a celebration of life. Listening to it has been both incredibly fun and moving.

Mariah’s best album and a landmark record that helped shape the contemporary R&B scene. Her vocals are otherworldly throughout, yet here they feel especially soothing. The lyrics are intimate and personal, showcasing her artistry at its most mature. Elegant, tasteful, and timeless. It’s rightfully considered a classic.
