Claud shows off some range on the LP, too, as it features everything from the pop-rock of “That’s Mr. Fortunately for all involved, Claud completely exceeded expectations and became one of 2021’s favorite new bedroom-pop artists with their debut album, Super Monster. – Carolyn Droke Claud, Super Monster Saddest Factory RecordsĬlaud was shouldered with a major responsibility late last year: They were the first artist signed to Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory label, so it was up to them to set the tone and represent the label well. But Clairo also noted that, while writing the album, she had much time to reflect on the domesticity that come with caring for her rescue dog. The notable shift is attributed in part by her simply getting older and growing into herself and her sound. The album is jam-packed with quiet and tender piano songs that draw inspiration from doleful-yet-warm acoustic sounds of ’70s ballads. But rather than lean into the bedroom pop that first popularized her name, Clairo instead took Sling in a different, more reflective direction. – C.W.Ĭlairo, Sling Fader Label/Republic RecordsĪfter the breakout success of her debut album Immunity, all eyes were on Clairo when she released her sophomore album Sling.

And despite all the sadness, there’s joy in that. But most of all, after all those songs with other people, this album is for Jack. Who else would be eager to feature Bruce Springsteen and Lana Del Rey on the same record? Who else would be focusing on the moments of the weekend that feel melancholy? And who else would concoct an epic breakup anthem begging the other person to let go already? If you like saxophones, earworm melodies, and yes, sadness, this Bleachers record is for you. Take The Sadness Out Of Saturday Night is undeniably that: Antonoffian. Bleachers, Take The Sadness Out Of Saturday Night RCA RecordsĪlready well-known for helping pop stars of all shapes and sounds bring their best songs to life, Jack Antonoff went back to the drawing board in 2020 to refocus on his own sonic vision.

When the vocals sound this good, genre becomes irrelevant. Happier Than Ever was a jazzy, downtempo left turn after her trippy gothic debut, and more proof than Eilish will be doing whatever she wants from here on out. Barely taking a breath between accepting a record number of Grammys for When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go? and releasing new singles, Eilish weathered the pandemic by slowly trickling out songs like “Everything I Wanted” and “Therefore I Am” to set up her next phase. – C.W.īillie Eilish, Happier Than Ever Interscopeįor a brand new artist, pushing past the massive surge of a super successful debut can be a challenge. And that kind of commitment is never a mistake. Better Mistakes is a punky, no-holds-barred expression of a pop star who is unabashedly herself. From kicking off a year that saw a resurgence in Travis Barker’s career, starting with their “Breaky My Heart Myself” collab, to songs with Doja Cat (“Baby I’m Jealous”), Lil Uzi Vert (“Die For A Man), and even Rick Ross (“Amore”), Rexha took the idea of what a pop star should do for their second full-length record and turned it on its head. Make no mistake about it, Bebe Rexha is going to do… whatever the hell she wants. – Caitlin White Bebe Rexha, Better Mistakes Warner Records But 30 isn’t a despairing album by any means, in fact, it focuses on what each loss leaves behind, and offers a blueprint for rebuilding in a new decade. Yes, she’s always given us songs of epic longing and love lost, but the classic ballads on 30 chronicle a woman growing up, coming to terms with the idea that teenage dreams and the effortless intentions of your twenties can - and do - fade away. On another sumptuous, diva-level pop record, Adele lets the world in on the painful process of her own divorce, with a greater emphasis on family and extremely personal heartache than ever before.
