Beste albums van 2023
Er is weer een fantastisch muziekjaar voorbij en het was een ware hoorn des overvloeds van sublieme albums, of je nu van stevige rock, indie, pop, hiphop of iets heel anders houdt. Hier hebben we een selectie gemaakt van de albums die door critici zijn uitgeroepen tot de beste van het jaar + een aantal van de best beoordeelde albums van het jaar die helaas de toplijsten niet hebben gehaald.
In 2023 hebben we veteranen als Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Blur, PJ Harvey og flere andre vende tilbage med nogle fænomenale album - for flere af dem noget af det bedste materiale, de har leveret i utallige år. Og så må man endnu engang konstatere at både pop og R&B-genrerne er inde i en ny guldalder, hvor navne som Caroline Polachek, Olivia Rodrigo, Troye Sivan, Sampha og Taylor Swift en vele anderen zien terugkeren met een aantal fenomenale albums - voor velen van hen het beste materiaal dat ze in talloze jaren hebben afgeleverd. Zowel het pop- als het R&B-genre beleeft opnieuw een gouden tijd, met artiesten als Caroline Polachek, Olivia Rodrigo, Troye Sivan, Sampha en Taylor Swift die opnieuw indruk maken op zowel critici als fans. Daarnaast zijn er, zoals gewoonlijk, veel fantastische indiereleases die welverdiende liefde hebben gekregen van de critici.
