2. Geese’s “Getting Killed”
Geese’s breakout album hits with bombastic, explosive energy from the very start. Fueled by youthful, earnest rock spirit & Winter’s timeless vocals & off-kilter lyrics, the band has earned comparisons to a Strokes-meets-Radiohead for a new generation

3. ROSALÍA’S “LUX”
Rosalía’s latest entry is epic, emotional, and global — a bold expansion of what pop music can be. Through poetic lyricism, she transcends language barriers, delivering knockout tracks that move from her flamenco roots to newly orchestrated classical heights.

6. Wet’s “Two Lives”
Wet’s brand of bedroom R&B pulses with electronic textures and deeply emotional lyrics. Building on the lineage of PBR&B, their vocals land with intimacy and subtle power. The album translated beautifully live and was one of my favorite sets of the year.
