LIL WAYNE ALBUMS FULL
One would think that her schedule would be completely full with all that she does to keep TMZ in business. Not sure how Cardi B finds the time to actually record music. But she’s far less Prine and far more pop on her third batch of original material and still manages to come up, well, “Golden.” Her songwriting is as sharp as usual and her voice is brilliant on a collection that dances through disco, soft-rock, country-pop and other sounds. She’s been vocal about Prine’s huge influence on her songwriting, which helped make her first two albums – 2013’s “Same Trailer Different Park” and 2015’s “Pageant Material” – among the most enjoyable country music recordings of the decade. Musgraves would surely be honored to follow Prine on this list. Chalk this album up as further proof that John Prine is a national treasure. “The Tree of Forgiveness” is chock-full of memorable tunes, mixing humor and heartbreak in ways that only Prine can. The world-class songwriter, responsible for such all-time-great tunes as “Angel from Montgomery,” “Sam Stone” and “Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Alone,” finally returns with his first album of new material since 2005’s “Fair & Square.” Was it worth the wait? Absolutely. The words are often underscored with muddy, distorted and anguished electric guitar, reminiscent of primary Junkies influence Lou Reed. Michael Timmins, Margo’s brother and the band’s primary lyricist, paints an unsettling, uneasy landscape through the songs, both reflecting and commenting on the world we live in. Margo Timmins’ vocals are as hauntingly beautiful and powerful as ever, delivering lines with such a range of emotion over the band’s patented and convincing mix of folk, blues, rock and country. Just another stellar outing from arguably the most reliably excellent act of the last 33 years. It also boasts the year’s best single in “You Say.” “Look Up Child” is a sophisticated, pristine collection of Adele-style pop balladry, collectively delivering what might just be the single greatest vocal showcase of 2018. Now, the rest of the world is starting to catch on as well and Daigle has found great crossover success with her glorious third studio offering, which debuted at No. Here are the best movies of 2018, a transcendent year of filmmakingįans of contemporary Christian music have long known that this Louisiana native possesses one of the best voices in the business. Taylor Swift? Beyonce? U2? Lorde? What was best concert of 2018? Now we can forget all that and just listen to Lil Wayne sling rhymes like daggers and move with untold swagger through what is his best album since 2005’s landmark “Tha Carter II.” Related Articles No doubt, Weezy needed this, having been written off as past his prime by many after years of releasing (at best) so-so material. This long-anticipated fifth installment of “Tha Carter” series, released seven years after the last one, is the comeback of the year, reminding fans through 23 diversely appealing tracks why we fell in love with Lil Wayne in the first place. Cardi B? Lil Wayne? Pusha-T? The top album of 2018 is by.
