"I decided to call it by my name, because this is where this chapter in my life ended. it started with somebody else’s story, it ended with me finding my way back to myself." Said Camila Cabello about her self-titled solo debut album. I have to admit that since the start, I knew that Camila was going to have the success that she's having, because she's one of the most charming and popular young singer from our times. "Camila" is an album with 11 carchy latin-tropical tracks, with lyrics about self-love, pain, her hometown, relationships and other life issues. My favorite song was "She Loves Control".

Release date: February 16th, 2018
The Swedish singer and songwriter ionnalee released her but album as solo artists, after letting aside her electronic music and audio visual project iamamiwhoami. ionnalee came back to bless us with her original and magical style. If you haven't hear about her, let me tell you that "Everyone Afraid to Be Forgotten" is an incredible album where you will find raw and unapologetic lyrics, catchy chorus, stunning synth-pop songs, her beautiful and powerful voice. The album has tracks about her personal insecurities, solitude, love and other deep issues. It could be a complex album if it's the first time that you hear it, but with the time, you'll love it. My favorite song was "Not Human".

Hayley Kiyoko – Expectations

Release date: March 30th, 2018

"[Expectations are my biggest strength] because I set such high expectations for myself. But it also is my biggest weakness because I’m constantly let down by myself and other people." Told Hayley Kiyoko about her debut album titled "Expectations" and I have to tell you that it was well received from all her fans and critics, because of her production and great lyrics. This is a synth-pop album and each song has its own personality, so it makes it very chill and ecstatic at the same time. On the other hand, she stands as one of the most important artists for the LGBT community, because with her music she's opening the door for more artists as her. My favorite song was "Sleepover".

Cardi B - Invasion of Privacy

Album cover

Release date: April 5th, 2018

This list wouldn't be complete without one of the most successful and popular rappers from all the times, Cardi B with her debut album "Invasion of Privacy". In the streaming era, Cardi B started with one of the best decisiones that she ever could take, release her album just in digital (not in CD format) Carbi B is everywhere: TV, radio, internet, everywhere! I really like her "wild" style and how funny she is, I know that we're talking about her music and not about her personallity, but she embodied her essence in her songs. The truth is  "Invasion of Privacy" is a well produced album and that's why it's in this list. My favorite track was "Ring" featuring Kehlani.

Kali Uchis – Isolation

Release date: April 6th, 2018

"Isolation" by Colombian-American singer Kali Uchis, was one of the first albums from 2018 that received widespread acclaim from critics, attaining 87/100. Kali isn't only a great songwriter, but also an amazing singer, she has a beautiful-powerful-soft voice tone that give to the songs an "extra". "Isolation" has songs about how she has reached her goals, love, sexuality, about being bitchy, unapologetic, and ambitious. Believe me, the whole record is a masterpiece and it is just the start, I'm pretty sure she will keep blessing us with her unique style. My favorite song was "Tyrant" featuring Jorja Smith.

 Anne-Marie – Speak Your Mind

Release date: April 27th, 2018

British singer Anne-Marie released her debut album titled "Speak Your Mind" and that's a perfect title to describe the concept from the whole record. Anne-Marie could be well known as an amazing song collaborator, but as a solo singer she's even better! She has one of the best vocals and her style is very unique, because she's very sassy and honest with her lyrics; she really sing about what she thinks without any filter. "Speak Your Mind" is a pop album with tropical melodies and that kind of upbeat tracks that all we love. My favorite song was  "Can I Get Your Number".

Jorja Smith – Lost & Found 

Album cover

Release date: June 8th, 2018

Another new artists that we thank for her existence, because what Jorja Smith did in her debut album "Lost & Found" is glorious. We're in a great era for the R&B and Jorja is one of the best new exponents of this musical genre. What I really liked from this album was not only her vocals, but also the music style; it feels like the 90s R&B, you know, it's very sensual and ecstatic. "Lost & Found" has songs about selflove, relationships, breakups, solitude, and other personal issues. My favorite song was "On Your Own".

Bebe Rexha – Expectations 

Album cover

Release date: June 22nd, 2018

"I think I was kind of like…life is so unexpected, I was just happy, I was sad, I was just growing up and learning that in certain things in life you just never know what’s gonna happen, and that’s what this album is about." Said Bebe Rexha about her debut album "Expectations" and it was well described, because during the album Bebe sings about different life issues. Personally, I noticed a musical evolution if we compare it with the previous EPs that she initialy released. "Expectations" has amazing catchy tracks and I like that it has different rhythms, but at the same time is coherent. My favorite song was "Shining Star".

MNEK – Language

Release date: September 7th, 2018

One of the most underrated debut album from the year, yet one of the best. British singer-songwriter MNEK released his long-awaited debut studio album "Language" and what a body of work! The whole album is so brilliant and smarth, the production is on point and the lyrics are very sassy and catchy. One thing that I loved from it, is the way in which the songs are linked among them by great transitions. In this album, he's embracing his sexuality and relationships; it could say that they whole record is about discovering love and all the things that it includes. My favorite track was "Correct".

Ella Mai – Ella Mai

Release date: October 12th, 2018

Here it comes another talented British presenting us her eponymous debut album "Ella Mai". This is an R&B album and it is another prove that this music genre is growing in the new young artists, it's starting to become more and more popular again. Ella Mai has created an amazing concept with this album, because she uses her name as an acronym to convey the meaning of the album; each letter from her name is like a chapter. Her fresh sound, beautiful voice and skills as songwriter have made her to release one of the best debut albums of 2018. My favorite track was "Dangerous".

Unexpected videos and great songs / DNCE, Michael Bublé & +

DNCE - Body Moves

Body Moves is the first single off DNCE's upcoming self-titled debut album, so they have published the music video for their song. The song is pretty hot, that's why then music video has had to be hot. I like the song and its rhythm and I think that the video shows us the meaning of the song, so it's okay.

"Baby the stars above will light the way

Just take my hand and hear the words I say

Yeah, when the morning comes, I'll always stay

You gotta know, you gotta know that I'm feeling this, ow"

Olly Murs - Grow Up

Grow Up is the second single to be lifted from Olly’s fifth album, 24 HRS. Thus, Olly has published the music video promoting the song. I have to say that it is my first time that I heard the song, but it's great. I liked its message and the music video is so entertaining and funny at the same time. Also, almost all the videos in these last days are very sexual and stuff, and this one is very "friendly".

"Know you gotta grow up

Ain't you sick of being immature?

Talkin' loud 'cause you insecure

You always turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, c'mon"

Green Day - Ordinary World 

The acoustic ballad called Ordinary World, taken from Green Day's newest album Revolution Radio. The rock band has decided to published the lyric video for the song. One interesting fact vout it is that: "The lyrics are told from the perspective of the character Armstrong plays in the film, Perry Miller. " Furthermore, according to Green Day, the song wasn't for the album, but "Armstrong was happy enough with the outcome of this track that he opted to include it on the album."

"Where can I find the city of shining light

In an ordinary world?

How can I leave a buried treasure behind

In an ordinary world?"

Hayley Kiyoko - One Bad Night

After releasing her EP Citrine, Hayley Kiyoko has published a new music video for her single One Bad Night. I have to say that , I wasn't expecting this story in the video, because the song is like "more sexual". However, I think I understood this story and its link with the message of the track.

"Talk with your fingertips

Don't stop the car, let's drive

Suck on your amber lips

Just give me one bad night"

Michael Bublé - Nobody But Me

Nobody But Me is the upcoming ninth studio album and seventh major label studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Michael Bublé. So, the singer has published the music video for the second single with the same title. 

I admit that I'm not his big fan, actually I don't usually listen to his music. However, I know his music style and Nobody But Me is a fresh song, that has his unique style, but with new sounds. Talking about the video, it's so entertaining and I liked it.

"And I know when you got a lovely lady

It might drive the boys crazy

When she's looking so fine, woah

I know, know, know that no one would ever blame me"

My favorite music video was...

Even when he isn't one of my favorite singers, Michael Bublé did an amazing video with a great song.

Love is in the air / Songs by Galantis, Capital Cities & +

Capital Cities - Vowels

The American indie pop duo from Los Angeles Capital Cities have released a new single called Vowels. This new track sounds amazing and Capital Cities have a unique music style. Vowels sounds fresh, but without losing their original style. It's a great new song, I'm excited for their new music to coming.

"I need a psychic to read my mind

Get me a Shakespeare to feed me lines

I need to let it out, let it out, I waited too long

I'm only using vowels from now on"

Galantis & Hook N Sling - Love On Me

The Swedish electronic music production and songwriting duo Galantis, have released Love On Me in collaboration with the Australian DJ Hook N Sling. After have released Money, Glantis have releasing this rhythmic song that is about love. It has a fun vibe and the beat sounds a little bit retro, but I liked it.

"Girl put your love on me

Cause I won't let you down

I won't let you down

And we will be singing"

Cashmere Cat - Trust Nobody (ft. Selena Gomez & Tory Lanez)

The Norwegian musician, producer, DJ and turntablist Cashmere Cat has released a new collaboration, this time with Selena Gomez and Tory Lanez. This is the second single off his upcoming debut album Wild Love. This song about keeping secrets in a relationship. Talking about the rhythm, it sounds a bit tropical with a little of R&B, it sounds pretty cool, Cashmere Cat has a very original music style, I can't wait to her his album.

"You know I don't trust nobody

You don't trust nobody

Said only I can touch your body

Yeah only I can touch your body"

Hayley Kiyoko - One Bad Night

The American actress, singer, and songwriter Hayley Kiyoko has released a new EP called Citrine and she has released the five tracks from it on her Youtube account. One Bad Night is part of the tracklist from Citrine and it is about her "first night out with a girl and her wishes for it to continue." It's a sexual song and its electro-pop rhythm is amazing. I have to say that I had seen Hayley in some TV shows when I was a child, but I didn't know that she sings too and let me tell you that she has a beautiful sweet voice and I liked her music style.

"Suck on your amber lips

Just give me one bad night

Heart beat is razor thin

Hot heat, you make me high"

My favorite song was...

I really like Capital Cities music style and Vowels sounds fresh, but at the same time has their original style, so I have decided to choose it like my favorite of the day.
