#15- #11
#15 Starting off the top 15 is Kiesza's 'Sound Of A Woman'. Kiesza is definitely a throw back to the dance music of the very late eighties and early nineties, she is definitely fresh and new with many different influences.
FavoriteTracks
-Piano
-What Is Love
-Over Myself
-Sound Of A Woman
#14 They're two R&B albums that I enjoyed this year and made my list. One being K. Michelle's 'Anybody Wanna But A Heart'. It's obvious that she has matured both personally and musically in a way that could result only from having your heart broken, and I love what it has inspired. She revealed that this album is about her 8 month relationship with actor Idris Elba. K. Michelle is the black Taylor Swift.
FavoriteTracks
-Maybe I Should Call
-Love Em All
-Cry
-Hard To Do
#13 There are a few great songs on this album, but Iggy Azalea suffers from what happens when someone achieves fame so quickly, so young she just does not have that much to say and I think that's why there's so much drama surrounding her. More than half the songs are about her experiences making it in music. "Work" is a great single about this on the album, but when you realize that these themes compose most of her work on this album, you start wondering what the point is. It's still a good album but I feel like needs to spend some time growing up.
FavoriteTracks
-Change Your Life
-Don't Need Ya'll
-Goddess
-Work
#12 Another R&B album that I really liked is Tinashe's debut 'Aquarius'. Great to see new talent get a chance at it. Tinashe doesn't disappoint with her debut album. She stays true to her mixtapes sound but takes it to the next level. It is amazing how she takes you on a crazy ride throughout the album and you end up wanting more. I hope she releases "Wildfire"
FavoriteTracks
-Wildfire
-How Many Times
-Deep In The Night
-Feels Like Vegas
#11 Colbie Caillat returned this year with a new album called "Gypsy Heart". Another great album from her. Although, she went more with a pop sound with this album.
FavoriteTracks
-If You Love Me Let Me Go
-Nice Guys
-Blaze
-Just Like That
Bonus
The second bonus album for this update is Ella Henderson's 'Chapter One' Like I said before I see this girl breaking out in the U.S in 2015. It has been quite sometime since someone who is coming from a talent show, showed true artistry and released an album not made to be massively consumed, but instead created with care, aiming to showcase material that is worthy of the artist's true potential. In Ella Henderson's case, that was somewhat inevitable. She reminds of a 'Leona Lewis' type singer.
