Beste Albums van 2024
In 2024 floreerde de popmuziekscene met uitzonderlijke albums die wereldwijd het publiek boeiden. Een van de opvallende releases was Charli XCX 's "Brat", een knaller-zware electropop-sensatie die niet alleen bovenaan de hitlijsten stond, maar ook het culturele fenomeen "Brat summer" aanwakkerde en mode- en socialemediatrends beïnvloedde gedurende de zomer van 2024. Taylor Swift 's "The Tortured Poets Department" liet haar poëtische reflecties op tragische romances zien, wat haar voor het tweede jaar op rij de titel van Spotify's meest gestreamde artiest wereldwijd opleverde. Beyoncé waagde zich aan countrymuziek met "Cowboy Carter", en leverde een genre-tartend album af dat zowel bij fans als critici weerklank vond. Billie Eilish 's "Hit Me Hard and Soft" verstevigde haar unieke plek in de muziekindustrie verder.
In het rockdomein maakte The Cure een triomfantelijke comeback met "Songs of a Lost World", hun eerste album in 16 jaar en misschien wel hun beste sinds begin jaren 90. Jack White bracht uit het niets een verrassingsalbum uit "No Name", even geweldig als een virale marketingstunt; The Smile besloot niet één maar TWEE albums uit te brengen; b> Fontaines DC stapte in het rijk van door britpop geïnspireerde postpunk op "Romance"; Nick Cave vond het licht weer "Wild God"; Godspeed You! Black Emperor 's postrockopus, "NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD" viel op door zijn politiek geladen thema's en uitgebreide composities; en Blood Incantation gaf ons hun derde opeenvolgende prog-metal/synthesizer fusion-meesterwerk.
In de hiphop domineerde Kendrick Lamar 's verrassingsalbum "GNX" de hitlijsten, terwijl de indiescene de geweldige terugkeer van Beth Gibbons en Vampire Weekend zag. En Adrianne Lenker bevestigde dat ze een uniek songwriting-talent is op haar album "Bright Future".
De moderne countrymuziekscene werd verrijkt door verschillende opvallende albums die zowel bij critici als fans in de smaak vielen. Zach Bryans "The Great American Bar Scene" kwam naar voren als een uitschieter in 2024, wat Bryans status als een moderne countrykrachtpatser verder verstevigde. MJ Lendermans "Manning Fireworks" was een alt-countryhoogtepunt voor muziekkenners over de hele wereld; Sturgill Simpson , onder het alter ego Johnny Blue Skies , ging een nieuwe fase in zijn carrière in, waarbij hij country-, pop- en rockinvloeden mengde op "Passage du Desir"; en Sierra Ferrell kreeg een grote doorbraak met "Trail of flowers" nadat hij jarenlang een underground neo-traditionalistische countryfavoriet was geweest.
