Welcome to my best of 2013!
Here's a holiday card drawn by my fave, Tiziano Ferro, to get us all in the mood.
Even though Tiziano did not release an album this year, he wrote, produced and collaborated enough so that I didn't have to miss him, and tons of other artists also released great music this year. I would say it was one of the best years in music that I can remember.
I'll be counting down my top 30 albums and top 100 songs. First up, here are 20 albums that I did like but just weren't good enough for a spot in the top 30.
Arcade Fire - Reflektor
Austra - Olympia
Ayumi Hamasaki - Love Again
Cassie - RockaByeBaby
Charli XCX - True Romance
Chiara - Un Posto Nel Mondo
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Giorgia - Senza Paura
HAIM - Days Are Gone
James Blake - Overgrown
John Mayer - Paradise Valley
Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Nanda Collection
Marco Mengoni - #PRONTOACORRERE
OneRepublic - Native
Sevyn Streeter - Call Me Crazy, But...
Sky Ferreira - Night Time, My Time
The Civil Wars - The Civil Wars
The Knife - Shaking The Habitual
Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City
That's right, BEYONCÉ made the top 30.
Stay tuned for more.
