2020 was absolute garbage in a lot of respects. These albums were not anywhere near absolute garbage. Here are my 7 favorite albums of this year.

@common’s A Beautiful Revolution (Pt 1) is equal parts deeply soulful and deeply transformative. Common’s rhymes interweave wonderfully personal and introspective words with the laid back music and are perfectly complemented by PJ’s vocals. I can’t wait for a Pt 2.pic.twitter.com/FWiFK9vTQq

Twin Sister’s eponymous, 5-song, 38-minute album is quite meditative, despite its loud, raucousness. Flowing easily from one song to the next, TS’ punishing drone brings you along on a journey you didn’t know you needed to take.pic.twitter.com/Y99XfVNMK0

@TobeNwigwe was one of the most prolific artists during this pandemic, putting on an excellent 2-hour live show and putting out multiple singles and a full-length album. Lyrically stellar, mixing incredible music with significantly important lyrics, The Pandemic Project excels.pic.twitter.com/ExIMwWHmTI

@stephanmoccio’s solo contemporary piano album, Tales of Solace, feels exceptionally prescient and needed during this time of turmoil. Almost restorative, Moccio’s light touch, technical ability, and memorable melodies give relief to a year without relief.pic.twitter.com/o45YeQvnwB

@idlesband’s Ultra Mono needed to be great to follow up Joy as an Act of Resistance. Sonically challenging and politically motivated, IDLES takes the listener through an angry romp through the plight of the marginalized. And they make you want to do something about it.pic.twitter.com/qhRD4tgPKQ

@runjewels’ RTJ4 continues to impress. The lyrical depths that@therealelp & Big Mike reach is like peeling layers off an onion. Hitting race riots, slavery, the education system, and so so so so so much more, RTJ4 was my most-played album of 2020.pic.twitter.com/LPset5mq7N

@juliannabarwick's Healing is a Miracle is (as my friend@mrkvm said a while back) “the salve we needed”. Best listened to at a high volume with headphones while resting, Julianna’s transcendent album will transport you to otherworldly locations, to rest, to heal, to dream.pic.twitter.com/D1gB13W5SN
