Albums of the Year! 🎶🎶

Lotus – Little Simz
Lotus was created during a period of emotional reset and renewed focus. Simz approached the album as a process of growth, stripping back ego, refining her voice, and working patiently with trusted collaborators

EUSEXUA – FKA twigs
This album emerged from embodied practice: dance, movement, breath, and sensation guided the songwriting as much as melody or lyrics. Twigs developed tracks through physical rehearsal, improvisation, and club experimentation

Essex Honey – Blood Orange
Essex Honey came together as a collage rather than a linear album cycle. Dev Hynes leaned into fragmentary songwriting, capturing emotional states instead of fully resolved songs

LUX – ROSALÍA
LUX was shaped by deconstruction. Rosalia approached the studio as a laboratory, breaking down pop, flamenco, and electronic forms into textures, rhythms, and vocal gestures. The album prioritises experimentation over narrative

GOLLIWOGS – billy woods
This album was assembled slowly and deliberately, with billy woods writing in isolation and selecting beats from a close circle of collaborators.

Getting Killed – Geese
Getting Killed was made fast and loud by design. The band leaned into instinct, capturing performances before refinement could smooth out their edges

THE BPM – Sudan Archives
This album grew from rhythmic exploration. Sudan Archives built tracks by merging live violin performance with electronic production, often layering movement-driven ideas over self-programmed beats

Like A Ribbon – John Glacier
Developed over time through revision and restraint, Like A Ribbon began as fragments, spoken phrases, melodic loops, half-formed ideas. Glacier’s process centred on subtraction, allowing silence and repetition to define structure.

Through The Wall – Rochelle Jordan
Jordan experimented with layered vocals and electronic textures, refining songs gradually rather than chasing immediacy. The process prioritised emotional clarity and atmosphere, resulting in a record that unfolds slowly and deliberately

The Boy Who Played Harp – Dave
This project was written during Dave’s formative years, largely driven by self-reflection and instinct

19/12/2025

Ensalada – Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist (feat. Anderson .Paak)
This track pairs The Alchemist’s sample-rich, cinematic production with Freddie Gibbs’ precise lyricism and a guest verse from Anderson .Paak, continuing a long-standing collaborative chemistry between Gibbs and Alchemist that roots back over a decade.
bastard – Joy Orbison & Joe James
Written in a single West London studio session on a rainy day, this track emerged from a spontaneous collaboration between Joy Orbison and Joe James, recorded in one take.
Cumulus / Memory – Sampha
This track was created by revisiting an unfinished track from his LAHAI album sessions, co-writing and adding vocals with Romy (The xx), and co-producing it with El Guincho
Life (feat. Tirzah & Charlotte Day Wilson) – Blood Orange
This track features mutual creative contributions from Tirzah and Charlotte Day Wilson, reflecting Hynes’ collaborative, genre-fluid approach.
Folded – Kehlani
Unexpectedly in Miami during studio time meant for another feature; Kehlani and producers, in a relaxed, experimental vibe, stumbled upon the beat (for Wale), and the song flowed out naturally as a raw, personal artistic statement about life and q***r identity
Ace Trumpets – Clipse & Malice
This Clipse classic was built on sparse, rhythmic beats and signature Neptunes sound design, underpinning Clipse’s sharp, vernacular-rich verses from the Virginia rap duo.
Let’s Chill – 1905, Former City Records
A deep cut from producers 1905 and the Former City Records sound, samples the classis song by Guy, Let's Chill.
exhaust – Earl Sweatshirt
Primarily created with a lo-fi, skeletal instrumental produced by Navy Blue, it features background vocals from Erykah Badu.
Free – Little Simz
Originated as a poem that she wrote, which was later developed into a full song in the studio with producer Miles Clinton James
RATHER LIE (with The Weeknd) – Playboi Carti & The Weeknd
The production involved several producers like F1lthy and Mike Dean, blending experimental sounds with atmospheric textures, while Carti explored clearer-eyed lyrics.
