Overlooked Albums of 2024

[JakeXo]

I love this thread. I went through the first three pages and sampled the posts and created a playlist of the ones I want to explore more. I really appreciate when people put little descriptors of the sound / other artists or albums that sound similar.

Hope it's OK to post here. Plenty of under the radar albums included here.

I always love when this thread comes around at the end of the year. There is so much more music these days, it's easy to miss stuff. Thanks for all the recommendations.

Amazing thread everyone, keep 'em coming

A delicious slice of 80s-tastic Scandipop that was criminally overlooked. Lots of funky bangers (C.Y.M., Swipe, Hustlebot) and icy cool ballads and midtempos (Body Language, C.N.B. (Cold Norwegian Babe). The last track Friction Addiction is one of my favourites of the year, a groovy Prince-like number which halfway through completely changes course when a Disclosure-like beat comes crashing in. So good.

Loving Ester Dean's latest album. Personal highlights are Lies, Energizer Bunny, Private Party and Be My Lover.

My favourite album of 2024. It flew under the radar a bit, but it's such a gem.

If Brat didn’t exist, this would be THEE Album of the Year.

YES

 

[Jersey]

YES

I really can’t stress just how excellent it is. People who don’t get it confuse me ff.

They haven’t listened. It’s hook after hook after hook. Every song is a hit.
And he’s cute!
