Sharon's Top 6 Albums from 2018

1. Spiritualized - And Nothing Hurts   

    

I didn't realize that I needed Spiritualized back into my life. Such a fantastic sleepy time album that I usually don't make it past track 4 or 5!

2. Essex Green - Hardly Electric 

You know they are Belle and Sebastian's second cousin, right?

3. Middle Kids - Lost Friends      

My husband thinks they sound boring. They speak to me.

4. The Carters - Everything is Love          

Some days I don’t feel cool enough to listen to this album. Fuck that inner dialogue.

5. Robyn - Honey            

One of those albums I liked after one listen. Just pure fun!

6. Flasher - Constant Image       

YES!!

Serena's Top 9 Albums from 2018

1. Rhye-Blood   

This is the chillest, sexiest album. Sometimes I watch their Tiny Desk concert because my brain can't wrap itself around the fact that the whole band is just two white dudes.

2. Lykke Li - So Sad So Sexy        

3. Blood Orange - Negro Swan  

If Janet Mock's gorgeous take on family doesn't get you, then maybe a Puff Daddy spoken word track? How about a gospel song? This album crosses genres, talks about being different, and is cool as hell.

4. Cardi B - Invasion of Privacy  

5. Twin Shadow-Caer    

6. The Carters - EVERYTHING IS LOVE   

 

Someone described this as a Beyonce album featuring Jay Z, and I think that's both accurate and not a problem.

7. Black Panther Soundtrack    

 

Wakanda forever.

8. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter V  

       

9. Drake-Scorpion          

I bet you thought I'd pick "Nice For What," didn't you? Just kidding, "Nice For What" is my favorite song, it's my song of the year!
