You see, this year didn't really consist of listening to new albums as much as I would have liked. Because of that I don't feel like I can properly put together a top 10.
But, I do want to share some with you, because I do want to talk about albums nontheless.
First off, Passing Through by Chef'Special.
Beside the amazing album art, the music is pretty great as well. It came out at the start of the year and I listened to it a lot around that time. I think you can describe it as a nice funky, happy vibed album. It's really an album that makes you feel good, with some good songs on it to make you do nothing else then move, dance, be happy. Nothing but love for that one.
To go with another Dutch love right away, there is Rivals by Kensington.
It's really recognizable Kensington, as it's their second album. The music is great and the voice makes everything even better. I've loved it since the first time I heard it.
Moving away from my own little country, TRXYE by Troye Sivan.
TRXYE is Troye Sivan's first EP. In june or july the first single came out and it took a few listens, but I ended up playing it on repeat non-stop. You will probably understand I was quite excited to hear the rest of the EP. I am completely in love with the songs Fun and Touch. They are both on my most played this year list on last FM and they will remain in my Spotify playlists and they will remain being listened to a lot in 2015. I'm less of a fan of the songs Gasoline and The Fault in our Stars (MMXIV), but I can't deny they are quite good songs. He's talking about working on a new album and I would be lying if I said I'm not excited to hear what he makes next.
An old love renewed, Nick Jonas by Nick Jonas.
I'm not sure if I talked about it on here before, but as a teenager I was in LOVE with the Jonas Brothers. They were everything. But, as known, they stopped, came back together last year and ended it again right before starting a new tour together due to 'Musical Differences'.
This year, though, Nick Jonas came back into the picture again. And he brought new music with him. He started of with the song Chains, which had to grow on me a bit but in the end I liked it quite a lot. But, then came Jealous. I was sold. Completely. What a song. Can't get tired of it. When the full album came out there was no doubt in my head about the fact that I had to own this album, even if it was only to have it in my collection next to my Jonas Brothers albums. I had to give it a try and there was a rather big chance I would end up liking it, as there is not much I don't like at the moment.
Honesty hour, now, it's no Fastlife (Joe Jonas' solo album, as the genre is kind of comparable, in a way), which I can still play over and over again without getting bored of it. I'm not completely sure of it, yet, as a full album. I prefer having it in a playlist and hearing the songs by themselves. Wilderness, though, needs to be mentioned. WILDERNESS. If you're going to listen to Any song from this album, listen to Wilderness. Instant happiness and dancing. Even if it's only on the inside. Love that one. A lot.
I'm going to leave it there. You probably get why there's no Top 10, now, as that would be kind of scraped together from albums I kind of heard once or twice but would still be mentioned as I need 10 albums to fill the list.
My year mostly consisted of finding old bands and albums (Arctic Monkeys, The Joshua Tree) and songs on their own that kept me going through 2014. Maybe it'll be better next year.
We'll have to wait and see.
Have a nice life,
Xoxo
