Charli xcx took over 2024 with her club record BRAT, with its lime green color theme appearing everywhere, from social media trends to the runway, and even making its way into the U.S. Presidential race. Masterfully combining her cool underground 'if you know you know' image with her impeccable ability to write pop songs, Charli has thrust herself into the mainstream in a way that no other artist has this year.

Third time's the charm, or so they say. Clairo surely took that to heart when creating her transcendental third studio album. Trading the 70s Joni Mitchell inspired sounds for a more playful neo-soul approach has most definitely worked in Clairo's favor, as Charm finalizes her transition from bedroom-pop social media star to full-fledged indie darling.

On CHROMAKOPIA, Tyler, The Creator flexes his creative muscles like never before, blending multiple styles like hip-hop, R&B, and jazz. Like his last albums, CHROMAKOPIA is fully self-produced, a testament to Tyler's commitment to his craft. The pay-off is there. CHROMAKOPIA is shameless, messy, audacious, and ambitious. Listening to it is like stepping into an alternate world, fully created by Tyler (no pun intended), where nothing is what it seems, and everything can change at any time.

Hit Me Hard And Soft is a victory lap for Billie Eilish. Who else can say they have two Oscars, two Golden Globes, and nine Grammys under their belt? Though all this praise hasn't risen to her head, as on her third record she lets us into her deepest and rawest emotions more than ever. Combined with the always ingenious production by her brother Finneas, Hit Me Hard And Soft has left an unforgettable impact on 2024.
