After 8 years, Fiona Apple finally carries a new album "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" Met with us. The new album continues her maverick "counter-mainstream recording industry" style as always. The entire album was recorded at home by Fiona Apple. Not only did she use the pots and pans around her as a percussion instrument, she even used her own cats and dogs. The cry of is also incorporated into the song.
Each song in the album has a little "deviant" spirit, but it is full of Fiona Apple characteristics. Taking "For Her" as an example, Fiona Apple even dropped the commonly used piano and only used vocals, applause and percussion instruments for creation.

AllMusic:
in 2020,"Punisher" has been highly praised by many music media and critics. Phoebe Bridgers’ feather-like soft voice often grabs your ears at the first opening. Her lyrics are indispensable for observing the details of life. Even though most of the songs on the album sound calm and sad, they always bring something to you. An inexplicable force.

3. Run the Jewels-RTJ4
_!--H2--5!- -H2--
Pitchfork: No.16
Rolling Stone: No.6
Billboard: No.15
NME: No.5
AllMusic: Run the Jewel
(Hereinafter referred to as RTJ) Since its debut, almost every album has brought surprises to music fans who love hip-hop and rap. In this "RTJ4", the excellent production ability of Killer Mike and EL-P brought a first-class auditory experience to this album. The use of drums and loop is not unconventional, and the tracks echo each other. A complete story, an accusation against reality.Recommended songs: "Yankee And The Brave" "JU$T"
4. Taylor Swift-folklore

Pitchfork: No.29

Billboard: No.1
NME: No.2
AllMusic:
_p2 "Folklore" can be said to be the two blossoming of music criticism business.This album has not only won the unanimous praise of many music critics, but also achieved good commercial performance. The album itself is of high quality. Although it lacks some "ear-grabbing" melody, the overall smooth and quiet tune is more in line with the theme of "folklore". Each song is like a short story, which releases the home. Inspiration in isolation. Perhaps because of the gentle tune, the album "folklore" gives people a feeling of "the more you listen, the better you listen", and it is recommended to listen to it repeatedly.
Recommended songs: "The Last Great American Dynasty", "Cardigan", "Exile"
5. Dua Lipa-Future Nostalgia
_!--H2-- 5!--H2--
Pitchfork: No.21
Rolling Stone: No.5
Billboard: No.2
NME: No.3
AllMusic: on the list Like the album title "Future Nostalgia (future nostalgia)", Dua Lipa's album incorporates a lot of retro Disco elements, supplemented by modern production techniques, to achieve a clever fusion. Many of the songs on the album are very "ear-grabbing", making you unconsciously shake your head and legs. If you love retro Disco, you can also "dig out" many classic samples and tributes from this album.
Recommended songs: "Physical" "Future Nostalgia" "Hallucinate"
6. HAIM-Women in Music Pt.III
_!--H2-- 5!--H2--
Pitchfork: No.8
Rolling Stone: No.14
Billboard: No.10
NME: No.8
AllMusic: On the list Musical songs can often resonate with listeners,"Women in Music Pt.III" is like the three HAIM sisters telling you about their life experiences. In an interview with Apple Music, lead singer Danielle also said that "we didn't follow any "scripts". Only when everything is not limited can we have the most fun." Under this premise, HAIM expressed their emotions in the album to their fullest. Whether it is the fun of "having fun" or the sadness caused by helplessness, depression and illness, they are all vented through music, but they are just right. Don't be deliberate.
Recommended songs: "Los Angeles" "I've Been Down"

Rolling Stone: No.8
Billboard: No.23
NME: No.20
AllMusicp This is not on the list The album was supposed to meet with us earlier, but due to a music leak in the middle, the whole album had to be reworked. This is an album with a strong Uzi rap style. The producers not only have worked with TM88 and Supah Mario, but also many new producers have participated in the production of this album. Many of the songs are exquisite works. It is amazing and brings a refreshing listening experience. In general, "Eternal Atake" is a rap album worth listening to.

8. The Weekend-After Hours
_!--H2--5! --H2--
Pitchfork: Not on the list
Rolling Stone: No.32
Billboard: No.3
NME: No.29
AllMusic: on the list
Losing love can change a person,After breaking up, The Weekend once said on Twitter that "No more daytime music", and "After Hours" returned to his early dark style. The album uses the stacking of synthetic sounds in the same list of songs, creating a kind of empty inspiration, so that listeners can also feel the loneliness of broken love. This album sacrificed a certain degree of popularity (resulting in lower ratings on some charts) in exchange for conceptual completeness. It is like a diary belonging to The Weekend, writing down the haze of broken love.Recommended songs: "After Hours", "Heartless", "Blinding Lights"
9. Bad Bunny-YHLQMDLG
_!--H2--5!- -H2--
Pitchfork: No.10
Rolling Stone: No.3
Billboard: No.4
NME: Not on the list
AllMusic: on the Spanish rap
For singer Bad Bunny, 2020 may be a rewarding year. The new album "YHLQMDLG" was released at the beginning of the year, and in October it won the Billboard Latin Music Awards Ceremony for Artist of the Year and other awards. Going back to the album "YHLQMDLG", in the opening song "Si Veo a Tu Mamá", the little boy rescued a person who wanted to commit suicide, and the cure is to listen to Bad Bunny's songs.The name of the album that looks like a face rolling keyboard is actually the abbreviation of "Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana (Do What I Think)", and the music on the album also shows the "whatever you want" of Bad Bunny. "specialty. If you want to listen to small-language rap, "YHLQMDLG" may bring you a different kind of surprise.
Recommended songs: "Si Veo a Tu Mamá" and "Safaera"
10. Rina Sawayama-SAWAYAMA
_!--H2--5!-- H2--
Pitchfork: No.41
Rolling Stone: Not on the chart
Billboard: No.20
NME: No.7
AllMusic: as the first album on the chart
p0 Say,"SAWAYAMA" not only has a high degree of completion, but also brought many small surprises to the audience. As a Japanese descent, Rina Sawayama combines Japanese music elements with European and American pop. From the songs, it is not difficult to find that Rina has a good grasp of the essence of Japanese music arrangement and has skillfully integrated two seemingly conflicting styles.In "SAWAYAMA", Rina also added a lot of topics to discuss, such as the conflict between Japanese culture and European and American culture, the conflict between traditional family and modern concepts, etc. But too many topics make it difficult for the audience to understand, which is also a common problem that many newcomers make in their first albums. However, in general, both in terms of genre and lyrics content, "SAWAYAMA" is a good album. It also makes people increasingly expect Rina to bring us more Japanese and European music works in the future.
Recommended music: "Tokyo Love Hotel", "Asaka Sad", "XS"
