Well, it's the end of the year, so naturally time for the best-of lists. I usually document my favorite new albums yearly, but somehow I forgot last year. Here's to it for 2014 before I do the same again.
My favorite new albums released in 2014, in alphabetical order:
Chris Brown – X
Colbie Caillat – Gypsy Heart
Chromeo – White Women
Coldplay – Ghost Stories
Maroon 5 – V
Andrew McMahon – Andrew McMahon In the Wilderness
Lea Michele – Louder
Porter Robinson – Worlds
Skrillex – Recess
Spoon – They Want My Soul
Super8 & Tab – Unified
50 Cent – Animal Ambition
In addition to these, there are my favorite standby compilation albums, both of which had a new version this year:
Anjunadeep 06
Anjunabeats Volume 11
Pretty much everything that comes out under the Anjuna label has been pretty great. Some of their artists (including Dusky, Jaytech, and Mat Zo) have also launched their own new labels, so I am ready for more great things to come from them as well.
Of course, there was also plenty of other music in there that I added to my collection that was not released in 2014, but was still great.
Like I always say, I'm looking forward to some great new stuff in 2015!
