7 Underrated Pop Albums

In This Article:

Pop music might be made fun of and considered "not real music," but let's be honest, we all fucking love it.

However, we don't always pay attention to true pop music geniuses. And we don't listen to full albums anymore, unless they get a Grammy Nomination. Unfortunately, this has caused several masterpieces of pop music to be lost in the iTunes vortex.

Well, I am here to rescue those genius works from that void. And I will do so in Odyssey article form.

Here are seven underrated pop albums you all need to download.

1."My December" - Kelly Clarkson

It is criminal that this is considered Kelly Clarkson's "worst album." Because it's not. Kelly sounds amazing when she channels her inner pop-rock/alternative goddess, we all love "Behind These Hazel Eyes." This whole album is beautifully written, and perfect to listen to you when you need a good cry.

2. "Sweet Talker" - Jessie J

First of all, Jessie J is underrated in the music industry. Not only does she have an incredible and versatile voice, she's a great songwriter. It's a shame this album is only remembered as the one with "Bang Bang," and occasionally the other single with 2 Chainz. The ballads are incredible, and the album is pure pop. She even has a song with De La Soul, for cryin' out loud!

3. "Back To Basics" - Christina Aguilera

I know this might sound like a bit of a stretch, since it contains "Ain't No Other Man" and "Candyman," but those are not the only songs from this album. The album is influenced by Motown and jazz music, which fits perfectly with Xtina's voice. The lyrics ain't half bad either.

4. "Gypsy Heart" - Colbie Caillat

When you need a carefree, beachy, album that is good for the soul, this is the one for you. Collie Caillat really found her calling with this album right here. The songs are fun, but some, like "Just Like That" which is linked in this article, are fun, yet badass. The best.

5. "Get Weird" - Little Mix

Why don't Americans appreciate female British pop singers? Has Adele ruined us? Anyway, "Get Weird" is Little Mix's best album. There is a variety of songs on the album, from songs as fun as the album title, to gorgeous ballads. It's a perfect girl group album.

6. "ARTPOP" - Lady Gaga

Ah, the last of Lady Gaga's albums where she lived up to her second name. Also the one everyone makes fun of. But they clearly didn't listen to the album, because it's great. There are several catchy hooks over fun pop beats.

7. "Dancing Queen" - Cher

It wasn't just enough for Cher to star in a movie featuring ABBA songs, she had to do a whole album with the ones she didn't get to sing. Covers are hit or miss, but this whole album is a hit. ABBA and Cher go perfectly together, but then again, Cher could probably sing anything and it would be perfect.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
