7. Gwen Stefani - This Is What the Truth Feels Like
After scrapping her previous album with Baby Don't Lie, Spark the Fire and a couple of tracks written by Charli XCX and one by Miguel, Gwen felt to write a breakup album for her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. For it, she called the most famous pop songwriters of this year Justin Tranters and Julia Michaels.
I just think this album is another which has some bops, but generally it brings nothing (especially after 10 years). Indeed, the standard edition is very boring, if not for some tracks. The deluxe tracks are basically the best.
Standout tracks: Make Me Like You, Getting Warmer, Rocket Ship
6. PARTYNEXTDOOR - P3
The hype was so high, but he gave us an album who feels like a one long boring song. It was very hard to choose some standout tracks here, to be quite honest. I don't have another words.
Standout tracks: Don't Know How, Temptations, Come and See Me
5. Emeli Sandé - Long Live the Angels
Don't know why, but something in this album just doesn't work. Our Version of Events was the definition of a flawless album, but then 4 years passed and she presented this. Maybe it's one of the worst comeback album I've ever seen in my entire life.
Standout tracks: Hurts, Breathing Underwater
4. A$AP Ferg - Always Strive and Prosper
I don't know how to start reviewing this album. It's just terrible. He has a lot of potential, but this album has seriously a terrible production, with some terrible featurings (Lil Uzi Vert, Chris Brown). Although he teamed with the best mainstream producers like StarGate, Cashmere Cat and Lido, the result is really lackluster.
Standout tracks: World Is Mine, Yammy Gang
