I'm the type of person that could listen to an album for days on end but gets bored easily when the radio only plays the same 10 songs over and over again. Luckily, though, many artists have been in the studio and have begun to release songs that have shaped a new era of music.
1. "Bloom" by Troye Sivan
Troye Sivan has been an up and coming artist for a while now, but his new album has truly allowed him to relate to his fans in a way he hasn't been able to before. "Bloom" is actually one of the songs on his album, and is, in my opinion, one of his best, but "The Good Side" takes my top spot! His songs are a good mix of slow and upbeat, and they give you something to listen to no matter what mood you're in.
2. "Sweetener" by Ariana Grande
Most of you have probably heard Ariana's song "no tears left to cry" play on the radio a million times, but all of the other songs on "Sweetener" really do live up to the hype of her popular hit. Ariana Grande's previous albums gave her a more edgy, popstar vibe, but this album definitely shows her softer side. One of my favorite songs on the album, "breathin," is about the star's battle with anxiety, something that she has become more open about since the album dropped.
3. "Light of Mine" by KYLE
KYLE's new album features a lot of other great artists, including Kehlani and Khalid, which is what intrigued me to listen to the album in the first place. His style contains more of an R&B vibe mixed with some rap, but with the way his songs flow, you will still feel upbeat and happy after listening!
4. "Nation of Two" by Vance Joy
Vance Joy has been one of my favorite singers for the past few years, but somehow he managed to have "Nation of Two" top his previously famous album. Vance's music type hasn't changed much, so if you liked his old songs, you are sure to love the new ones! He is great at expressing emotion within his lyrics, so all of his music is gauranteed to give you some feels.
5. "COSMIC" by Bazzi
If you've ever wondered who sings the song "Mine" that has been on the radio the entire summer, here's your answer! Bazzi is actually an insanely good artist, and he loves to keep his songs simple and to the point, while still providing his fans with great songs to listen to. I love the energy that his music gives off, and it's exciting when an artist known for one song still has so many other amazing ones hidden within the same album!
It can be difficult and frustrating to find good music to listen to that wasn't released years ago, but these albums are ones that deserve lots of recognition, and after listening to them it will be so much easier to find music that you constantly want to listen to!
