. With all the streaming services out there, it feels like people are just getting away from listening to actual records, you know? And don't even get me started on how "discoverable" your average artist is nowadays - it's all about creating a viral soundbyte, not actually making music with heart and soul 
.
. I mean, sure, some of them might be good, but it's always gonna feel shallow to me when someone's profiting off other people's pain 
.
.
. for me, it's gotta be "Echoes in the Attic" by Jim Legxacy - his raw emotion and storytelling are just on another level 
.
. her music always speaks truth to power, but this year she took it to a whole new level. i'm also loving the Britpop revival - Pulp and Suede are back and better than ever 
.
. And, can we talk about Rosalía's album for a sec? Her music has always been incredible, but this one... ugh, it's just on another level 
. I've listened to it like 10 times already and still can't get enough of it 
.
i think its because its all about nostalgia and growing up. anyone else listened to that?
. But you know what really got me? CMAT's debut - she's the real deal, her songwriting is fire 
! Also, Olivia Dean's new album is everything and more, it's like a ray of sunshine in a world that needs it 
Anyway, gotta share my fave album of 2025 tho - it's got to be that underrated indie-rock gem by CMAT 
! Like, I'm all about Jim Legxacy's new British rap vibes - his flow is insane 
. and can we talk about Rosalía's breakup album? it's like she's speaking straight to my soul 
... it's like they were meant to be back on the scene all along 
. gotta say, Jennifer Walton and the Tubs' album was another fave of mine - there's something so raw and honest about her songwriting 
... anyway, what are your top picks? 
what about you guys? did you find an album that really resonated with you this year?
.
. My fave song of the year has gotta be 'Lost in the Haze' from her album... it's just so hauntingly beautiful 
.
also jennifer walton and the tubs album is so deep i need to read about her life story to understand why she wrote it all down 
what's the deal with blood oranges music anyway? its so emotional but kinda haunting too 
i mean, who else can make a song about heartbreak sound so hauntingly beautiful? i was blown away by her raw emotion and vulnerability, it's definitely an album that'll be on my playlist for years to come 
. And I'm loving the vibe of Pulp's comeback too, it's like they never left
