Warrior Ke$ha
After hearing Good Feeling Die Young, i really did not expect anything great from this album. But at least i hoped it would be better than Animal and Cannibal. But no, it's a huge step-back. It disappointing to see this though, after hearing Ke$ha saying that this album is rock n roll and it's mature etc. Album has some great ballads -Ke$ha always delivers with ballads- and some bops such as Supernatural which is also the latest chance of the album. After all the trolling and shading i did, i still use this album and like Ke$ha. Warrior is disappointing but in the end it's a good album for her standarts. Stand Out Tracks: Supernatural ● Warrior ● Love Into The Light ● Last Goodbye ● Dirty Love (ft. Iggy Pop)

Halcyon Ellie Goulding
I got into this woman this year. I got her album and got done with it fastly by the time, Lights blew up in US. Her debut album was pretty disappointing for me. I didn't like Anything Could Happen either. But still gave her a chance by listening Halcyon. I struggled to get into the songs. But more i listened, they grew on me. Album is really diverse and the dark haunting atmosphere is amazing. Her vocals are not that strong but the tone of it amazes, especially with the music type shes doing. The one word defines her is, grower, for me. Stand Out Tracks: Figure 8 ● My Blood ● Halcyon ● Joy ● Don't Say a Word

The Spirit Indestructible Nelly Furtado
Nelly her first english album in ages. I like the fact that Nelly experiments, maybe even more than any artist, not only her albums are different from each other also the tracks of The Spirit Indestructible are diverse and all unique on their own. I am sad that it flopped but i was expecting it since she had no promo. Waiting For The Night is the only chance to save it but she really doesn't need to be saved, we all know she can slay all the lessors if she wants. (see: Loose era) I love the folk vibe she has on this album. She mixes it amazingly with pop. Stand Out Tracks: Spirit Indestructible ● Waiting For The Night ● Miracles ● Believers (Arab Spring) ● Bucket List

MDNA Madonna
I never thought i would say "Hard Candy is NOT Madonna's worst album". But after hearing MDNA, i said it. It does not mean this album is bad, but for Madonna standarts it's a mess. The best songs of the album really stand out but as a whole it lacks consistence and the shock factor. With Nicki involved into it, Madonna's efforts to sound yung&hip&cool and her stuff about partying&vodka seems quite weird to me. She really should stick to experimental pop now and save her legacy and be remembered as Queen of Pop just like she deserves. Stand Out Tracks: Gang Bang ● Girl Gone Wild ● Love Spent ● I Don't Give A (ft. Nicki Minaj) ● Turn Up The Radio
