Favorite Albums of 2022
My favorite records of 2022, featuring albums from Chayla Hope, Work Money Death, Your Old Droog, Pusha T and more.
Daniel Villarreal’s Panamá 77
An homage to the sounds of Villarreal’s youth and vibrant musical present, Panamá 77 is a mesmerizing myriad of instrumental folk-funk sounds and psychedelic jazz textures.
Pusha T’s It’s Almost Dry
Pusha T’s fourth solo album hones his coke raps to razor-sharp perfection.
TIGRIS’ HOP HOP
Exhilarating and organic, HOP HOP continues TIGRIS’ long tradition of Afrodelic funk and Ethio-influenced jazz excellence.
The Weeknd’s Dawn FM
A glorious display of pop prowess that is more style than substance, The Weeknd’s Dawn FM explores mortality and regret through the polished pastiche of the past.
