1. FL1P - Sik-K
"You know you talk too much..." (NOIZY-Sik-K)
FL1P is definitely my favorite Hip-Hop album of all times. Literally every song is a bop. I'm always going back to this album - it's a vibe. Plus, it has some of the best producers on the tracks- GroovyRoom, GXXD, BOYCOLD, GooseBumps, Way Ched and Pink Slips.
2. sleepless in______ -Epik High
"Do you get lonely? Sick with anxiety? Same here..." (Eternal Sunshine - Epik High)
Honestly, I had never heard of Epik High until this album came out, because of Suga's featuring on it as a producer. But, thank God I did because Epik High are amazing! The overall vibe of the album is so soothing, and I always listen to it when I'm sleepless.
3. El Mal Querer - Rosalía
"Que no salga la luna que no tiene pa' qué..." (QUE NO SALGA LA LUNA- Rosalia)
El Mal Querer literally means the bad Relationship. The album was based on a 13th Century novel, Flamenca and tells the story of a toxic relationship. It was actually supposed to be Rosalia's university thesis!
What I loved the most is how each song is a "chapter" in a story. I recommend using the lyrics translations on Genius, so you can properly understand each song and the concept behind it.
4. Poupées russes - L.E.J.
"Dis-moi c'que tu préfères
Être le sosie officiel de Trump..."
(Acrobates - L.E.J.)
L.E.J. are Lucie, Élisa and Juliette, a sisters- trio from France. I first heard their Summer 2016 Mashup in YouTube and have been following them since. Poupees russes ( Russian Dolls) is their first full length Album. The cool thing about their songs is their blending of Cello with modern beats... give them a listen!
5. Love Yourself: Tear- BTS
"(안녕?)안녕
어떻게 지내?나는 뭐 잘 지내" (13430- BTS)
I'll be honest- MOTS was an AMAZING series, dont get me wrong, but LY: TEAR will be the superior album for me. I mean, come on! We got Singularity, 13430, Love Maze!, Anpanman AND Airplane pt 2 (among others)!!!!! Need I say anymore??
6. Singular Act 1 - Sabrina Carpenter
"I'm sorry, but you've called at a bad time
And every time is probably gonna be a bad time..." (Bad Time - Sabrina Carpenter)
Singular Act 1 was LIT. Its the perfect album for when you want to feel badass, trust me. I won't say anyhting else but that you NEED to listen to it!
7. NCT# 127 Neo Zone - NCT 127
"우릴 끌어당긴 낯선 떨림에 올라
널 얽맨 시선 가둔 미래 거슬러..." (Elevator 127F- NCT 127)
This is the era I started stanning NCT. Seriously, this album was EVERYTHING! Literally the whole album is a bop. The thing about NCT songs is that they have so many layers... so, the more you listen to their songs the more you'll like them. Seriously guys, you have to listen to this one!
8. W, Here - NU'EST
이젠 좀 단단해졌어 많은 걸 받았어
전부 다 갚아줄 거니까 계속 옆에 있어 줘
(With- NU'EST W)
The first album released by Nu'est as Nu'est W (without Minhyun), after participating in produce 101 (first one for us too). We were all looking forward to what sort of music they would return with and this album didn't disappoint. All the members took part in this album, and Baekho perfectly captured all their colors. Personally, I think the highlight of the album was each member's solo track, which to date are still my favorites. But let's be real, all their albums are amazing and are totally slept on, thanks to Pledis' *amaaaaazing* promotion (smh).
9. Heng:garæ- Seventeen
"서두르지 마 늘 충분하니까
그대로 있어도 돼
나의 여행의 시작은 나야 "
(My My My- Seventeen)
Famous as self producing idols, Seventeen is back with another album, Heng:garae, which talks about youth, as in anyone who is passionate about their dreams. It talks about running towards the goal, without any anxieties, which is the main idea behind the title track. From the pre-release song to the album, it is definitely well made. Of course, the performances are another treat. Their lives are fun to watch and we would definitely recommend you to check them out!
