Some notable albums that didn't make the cut for best of the year include Kanye West’s “Donda” and Drake’s “Certified Lover Boy.” This year, Lana Del Rey, Illuminati Hotties, and Talib Kweli & Diamond D. all made great albums that just barely missed the mark.
Similarly, Jimmy Eat World, over the course of three live-streams, performed their albums, “Clarity,” from 1999, “Futures” from 2004 and “Surviving” from 2019 in their entirety. They then released the live versions of these records, dubbing these renditions as the “Phoenix Sessions.” These live takes have bite and a vital kick. Hearing standouts like “Work,” “Love Never” and the extended emo-classic “Goodbye Sky Harbor” done this way, gives these songs an extra push. They are worth finding.
Right from its title-track, Kacey Musgraves’ latest record makes its mission statement clear. This is a Latin-tinged, drama-filled, heartfelt and heartbroken album about divorce.
The third Japanese Breakfast offering is an upbeat affair with Michelle Zauner delivering her most joy-filled set of songs to date, from the retro-eighties groove of “Be Sweet” to the vaporous “Slide Tackle,” there is an undeniable lightness to this record. Even songs with titles like “Posing in Bondage,” and “In Hell,” possess a synth-heavy warmth.
