The song-writing on every track is catchy and attention-grabbing, and in my opinion are the strongest and most introspective lyrics she's ever written. The synth soundscape is both playful in some songs, and dark and atmospheric on others. It's a truly one-of-a-kind listen. 2. Lily Allen - It's Not Me, It's You Again, the songwriting here is great; it's edgy but in a way that's satirical and self-aware. Fuck You is always an hilarious song to break out once in awhile. On the other hand, songs like Chinese and Who'd Have Known are cozy, sweet songs. Never Gonna Happen is a personal fave with a fun ska-influenced sound. 3. Lady Gaga - Born This Way The eclectic use of genres on this album has always astounded me, and it speaks volumes to how much Gaga actually appreciates all types of music. Born This Way and You and I are two special jams that I love belting out to whenever they come on. 4. Kate Bush - Hounds of Love An album that almost defies explanation and analysis. It's the type of album you just sit back with and close your eyes, letting its wonderful sound take you over. Side two's concept piece is of special note and a unique addition to the experience. 5. Sara Bareilles - The Blessed Unrest Brave is fun of course, but it's tracks like Eden and 1000 Times that keep me coming back for more. I really love how all the tracks are arranged and produced. They all come with nuance and unique messages. 6. Lorde - Melodrama Lorde's passion here is evident, with strong vocals on both the album's fantastic hits and album cuts like The Louvre. The songs are ordered with purpose to have maximum impact on the listener, feeling much like a theatrical production at times. It truly lives up to its name. 7. Lily Allen - Alright, Still Though not as tight as It's Not Me, Alright, Still boasts incredible songs I have absolutely played to death. LDN will always be one of Lily's greatest takedowns of society. Smile is pure perfection though, and a top 10 of all time for me. 8. Adele - 21 I think this might be the one most accessible pop album. The forceful and emotional Rolling in the Deep and Set Fire to the Rain are universally appealing, whilst foot-stompers like the rock-tinged Rumour Has It can bring even the most furious pop haters into the mix. 9. Katy Perry - Teenage Dream There's something for everybody here: some tracks feel retro, some are fun party tracks, some are meaningful, there's even a song for the goth crowd on here. 10. Dido - Life for Rent It was a toss-up between this and No Angel, but Life for Rent really shows a fined-tuned craft with songs that really grow on you over time. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://i.imgtc.com/3qwvxhc.jpg ...
