Halsey - BADLANDS
Halsey for sure has been a polarizing act of 2015 with comparisons with Lana and Sky ruffling some feathers. Regardless, BADLANDS is a high quality release with some pop masterpieces found on the track list, including Colors, Ghost and Roman Holiday.
Troye Sivan - Blue Neighborhood
Troye is another breakout star with his debut album Blue Neighborhood taking the internet by storm. With his minimilistic but effective sound, Troye really shines on tracks like WILD, YOUTH and for him.
Fleur East - Love, Sax & Flashbacks
Fleur East came out and delivered a solid funk album filled with bops such as the lead single Sax and the high energy jam Breakfast. With one of the best performances on X Factor UK when she was a contestant performing Uptown Funk and then out doing herself with her performance of Sax as a returning guest to the show a year later, Fleur has proven she is a phenomenal performer with vocal abilities to match.
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly
Kendrick Lamar dropped one of the best rap albums of the year with the release of his album To Pimp A Butterfly. Tackling social issues relevant in the public sphere, such as racism, Kendrick really shines on tracks like Alright, I, and King Kunta.
