The Best Albums of 2024 (So Far)
15
items 2024 has been a great year for music, and I wanted to rank my top 5 from the year so far. It includes acts like Dominic Fike, Royel Otis, and Kasey Musgraves, and displays a wide variety of sounds. Some projects are well known, and others may only ha...

14 Minutes by Dominic Fike is hands down my favorite of the year so far. Short and sweet, and is a precursor for what's to come next.
14 minutes
Mika's Laundry by Matt Champion. This was one of the best debut projects I've heard, and it was great to hear something from a BROCKHAMPTON member after their break up.
Mika's Laundry
PRATTS & PRAIN by Royel Otis. They are the band of the moment, and honestly may be #1 or #2.
Pratts & Pain
Kansas Anymore by ROLE MODEL. Yet another project that could possibly be near the top of this list, and is definitely the most cohesive of all albums on this. A breakup anthem.
Kansas Anymore - Album by ROLE MODEL - Spotify
Who You'd Have Been by The Braymores. This is the deepest cut on the list, and is a perfect album for the Fall. Lies somewhere between the Backseat Lovers and Arctic Monkeys.
Who You'd Have Been
Kasey Musgraves has continued her excursion into a more folk-inspired side of Country, and I am all here for it.
Deeper Well
Billie Eilish dropped this album with only a short clip a song as the preview for the album, and it still went on to be one of the biggest albums of the year. One of the most deserving projects of that feat too.
Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish
Asha is one of the most exciting up and comers in the game right now, and although his project was released towards the top of the year, I didn't want it to fall to the wayside.
PINS & NEEDLES by Asha Imuno
Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge came together to create an album that largely touches on the themes of losing love, most likely due to Anderson's divorce, and it left us with one of the smoothest and spontaneous singles.
Why Lawd?
Souly Had started off the year hotter than just about anyone else in music, and his project delivered more of the same. With lead singles like “paralyzed,” and previously released songs like “doomed,” sounds like you're still here deserves a spot in ...
sounds like you're still here by Souly Had
MAVI is one of the leading conscious rappers in the game right now, and this may be due to the fact that he was studying Neuroscience at Howard University prior to dropping out to pursue music full time. Anyone who is into a sound like Earl Sweatshir...
shadowbox by MAVI
This album was emotionally charged in its conception due to how turned away the band was from releasing new music, and the final product is nothing short of indie rock catharsis with all of that in mind.
I'm Not Afraid Of Music Anymore
Jack Kays is the epitome of the midwestern music of today, and his brash and in your face alternative album will be a household name to anyone who enjoys that sound.
DEADBEAT! - Disc 1
Cage the Elephant took a long hiatus between their last project and this one, largely due to struggles felt by the lead singer, but they absolutely delivered on their return.
Cage The Elephant - Neon Pill
Pigeons and Planes is at the forefront of music discovery, and this time around, they helped produce their second ever album –leaving fans with a mix of high flyers, and up and comers that you may never have heard of.
