Panic! at the Disco - Death of a Bachelor (January 15th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"Death Of A Bachelor is in honor of those times I spent alone as a kid. Allowing music to consume me. Playing everything myself just to get the idea right and out of my head." Brendon Urie
I am pretty sure that it is their most successful album so far, as it debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, with 190,000 album units, earning the band its best sales week and first number one album.
My favorite song: Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time
Sia - This Is Acting (January 29th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"I’m calling it This Is Acting because they are songs I was writing for other people, so I didn’t go in thinking ‘this is something I would say’. It’s more like play-acting. It’s fun." Sia
Personally, I consider Sia as one of the most talented songwriters of this century and This Is Acting is perfect lyrically, each song has a beautiful message and a danceable rhythm, without forgetting her amazing ballads.
My favorite song: Cheap Thrills
Lion Babe - Begin (February 5h, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"We wanted there to be a certain duality, like there is with Blondie, with me as the frontwoman, you might think I'm Lion Babe, but it's like, no, we're Lion Babe. We liked that. It's about embracing your uniqueness and rocking it." Jillian Hervey
Begin is the debut album by Lion Babe, the neo soul duo formed in New York City. It is the perfect example of how to make an unforgettable debut album.
My favorite song: Satisfy My Love
ZAYN - Mind of Mine ( March 25th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"I realized I couldn’t put any input in … because it didn’t fit the grain of what we were as a band and what we represented. That’s when it got frustrating for me." Zayn
Mind of Mine is Zayn's debut album that have made me to believe in Zayn's artistry. I've never been an 1D fan, but when Zayn left the band, I thoght he was not going to make it on his own, but he shut my mouth with this killer album.
My favorite song: sHe
Beyoncé - Lemonade (April 23th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"Grandmother. The alchemist. You spun gold out of this hard life. Conjured beauty from the things left behind. Found healing where it did not live. Discovered the antidote in your own kitchen. Broke the curse with your own two hands. You past these instructions down to your daughter, who then passed them down to her daughter.” Beyoncé (speech from the visual album)
Released in a surprisingly way, this visual album is the proof that Beyoncé is one of the few artists that never disappoints and she is always exploring new music genres. Each album is always better than the last one.
My favorite song: DADDY LESSONS
Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman (May 20th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"'Dangerous Woman' is a lot stronger. ... To me, a dangerous woman is someone who's not afraid to take a stand, be herself and to be honest." Ariana Grande
Ariana made it clear that she is not a little girl anymore and that this new album is just the beginning of a new era. It is primarily a pop and R&B album, with influences of house and dance-pop.
My favorite song: Touch It
Yuna - Chapters (May 20th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"Songwriting was natural to me, but trying to find that deep place is a rare thing to do when you’ve been writing a long time. … After I wrote all of it, I realized these were like chapters I had in my head lined up. It was me coming out of a relationship and learning how to love yourself." Yuna
Yuna is the best example that when you have talent there is no boundries of any kind.
My favorite song: Best Love
Flume - Skin (May 27th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"I wanted to do something that had more of a progressive feel to it. Something that takes you on a journey, less of a verse/chorus feel." Flume (talking about one track of the album)
Four years had to pass to get this amazing album by Australian electronic musician Flume. Skin is an album where you will find a mixture of different music genres, such as: EDM, electro-pop, dance-pop, wonky, future bass and hip-hop.
My favorite song: Never Be Like You (feat. Kai)
Tom Odell - Wrong Crowd (June 10th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"I wanted the songs to sound big and dramatic; big strings and melodies emphasizing the songs further – rich in musicality and holding nothing back. ...I started developing this story of a guy, using some of my experiences, so this person on the album is half me, half not me." Tom Odell
Even when it could be described as a sad album, it is beautiful and Tom Odell shows his most vulnerable side, through dramatic ballads and rhythmic melodies.
My favorite song: Silhouette
Broods - Conscious (June 24th, 2016)
 |
| Album cover |
"It’s a metaphor for keeping alert and aware of everything that’s happening around us at the moment. It talks about being in a sleeping state. You don’t have control over your speed or strength." Georgia Nott
It is one of the best electro-pop albums of the year and Broods have made unforgettable songs with beautiful messages and amazing beats.
