I love this album! It was this album that got me to start stanning Sabrina Carpenter. It has a more diverse sound and range of topics than Short n' Sweet. I also loved the deluxe version of this album, wish they had the fwd version.
emails i can’t send - Sabrina Carpenter
My biggest flex is that I have a signed copy of this! I'm a huge Sabrina Carpenter fan so I'm glad she released Short n' Sweet (Deluxe) as a vinyl.
Short n' Sweet (Deluxe) - Sabrina Carpenter
Such a fun album and I like to put this on when cleaning!
Harry's House - Harry Styles
This song reminds me of fall. Taylor's Version came out on a November and I just remember playing it nonstop.
Red - Taylor Swift
Country
I adore this album! This is a rare no skips album to me. Each song was beautifully created and I can't get enough of it.
Cowboy Carter - Beyonce
This album feels like falling in love. It also showcases the fears of falling in love. This album reminds me of when my fiance and I first started dating (he showed me the song “Butterflies”) and for that, this album will always have a soft spot in m...
Golden Hour - Kacey Musgraves
R&B
Beloved by Giveon is a new release but you bet I've ordered a copy of this one. It's a beautifully made album with raw and real emotions around relationships in your 20s. Regardless of where you are in life, I'm sure you could relate. Love this album...
BELOVED - Giveon
A fun one. I've only started listening to Ravyn Lenae at the beginning of 2025 (when her song started blowing up when TikTok was shutting down) and I really enjoyed the album. My favorite song is “Dream Girl”. The Urban Outfitter version of the LP is...
Bird's Eye - Ravyn Lenae
I love Tinashe dowwnnnn. I produced an event at The Grove for Doc Martens and Tinashe was our featured performer! She's super sweet and down to earth. She then released this album and I went to her concert solo. Amazing performer!!
Quantum Baby - Tinashe
Alternative/Indie
The album that put Hozier on the map. Been a fan of his for over 10 years now and I don't see myself stopping. Love this album.
Hozier - Hozier
Hozier is just *chef's kiss* Try listening to this on vinyl while it's gloomy or raining outside…the vibes are immaculate
Unreal Unearth - Hozier
Anybody that grew up on Tumblr has this as one of their favorite albums. And I will admit, I used to be an angsty Tumblr teenager too
AM - Arctic Monkeys
I wasn't planning on buying this vinyl, but I had to once I saw her live. I went to a free mini concert hosted by Fingerprints and her voice was so nice, I ended up buying the vinyl too.
Buzzkill - Lyn Lapid
Holiday
Short holiday ep by none other than Miss Sabrina! It's fun and cheeky and it brings a new sound to holiday music.
fruitcake - Sabrina Carpenter
Classic Christmas music that gets the vibe going! Super cozy and super fun. I love putting this on when hosting dinner parties.
Icon Christmas - Frank Sinatra

A more upgraded record player from the suitcase player! This one is better for your records because they lay flat.
Audio Technica AT-LP60X-BK Turntable - Black
My first record player! I got the red/maroon one from a yard sale. Loved having this as a beginner record player. Eventually had to upgrade because I learned they're bad for your records long term. It's better for the discs to lay flat! Still a good ...
