Album #1: The Maybe Man by AJR
Favorite Song: Interia
Notes: This was a suggestion from Tony Hernandez-Huerta. AJR isn’t a band that matches my music taste, but this wasn’t a bad album. It came out this year, and it has a few songs that I would listen to. It’s not bad at all, and I’m happy that I listened to it and was able to enjoy it.
Album #2: Deadbeat Graffiti by Black Pistol Fire
Favorite Song: Speak of the Devil
Notes: I love Black Pistol Fire so much, and when truly digesting this album it only made my love for their music stronger. I originally found them through this album, specifically the song “Speak of the Devil,” so for that reason, it has to be my favorite.
Album #3: Because the Internet by Childish Gambino
Favorite Song: ll. Earth: The Oldest Computer (The Last Night) feat. Azealia Banks
Notes: This was a suggestion from Mason Straight. Because the Internet isn’t my favorite Childish Gambino album, but it’s up there. It was very good and I struggled to decide on a favorite song. Some of the songs had very different vibes from each other, but that’s the very factor that kept this album so interesting.
