Top 5 (plus one) albums of 2022

2022 was the year of the comeback. As the music industry stumbled out of its pandemic fog, many artists finally delivered long delayed, highly anticipated, and sonically experimental albums that met some of the expectations built up for them. Kendrick Lamar, Santigold, Tove Lo, M.I.A., Björk, FKA twigs, The Weeknd, Charli XCX, Camila Cabello, Meghan Trainor, Rosalía and Carly Rae Jepsen returned with records that were worth the wait.

These are the 5 (plus one) best albums of my choice.

Οι Kendrick Lamar, Santigold, Tove Lo, M.I.A., Björk, FKA twigs, The Weeknd, Charli XCX, Camila Cabello, Meghan Trainor, Rosalía και Carly Rae Jepsen επέστρεψαν με δίσκους που άξιζαν την αναμονή.
