Kyra’s Top Albums of 2020 🎧

Despite a tragically hectic year, some of my favorite artists managed to release some phenomenal projects in 2020. Here are my top picks (in no particular order):

Girl Eats Sun—Hope Tala • R&B

Tala’s third EP is a picnic on a Spring evening—breezy and warm. I absolutely adored her first two projects, so it’s been a joy hearing how she’s continued to develop her unique style. On Girl Eats Sun, she masterfully serenades you through the different phases of love from dizzying happiness to aching longing. The little things are what elevate this project, from the strings on the wistful Easy to Love Me to Sky’s high-pitched, flowy vocals on the chorus of Mulholland, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention my special appreciation for when Tala’s pitch dips and she’s in that pleasant moment between rapping and singing—hello verse two of All My Girls Like to Fight. Despite the title, Tala’s latest project brings the sunshine out for me every time I listen.

Ungodly Hour—Chloe x Halle • R&B

If you somehow managed to miss Chloe x Halle being the darlings of R&B this year, then please allow me to be your introduction to one of 2020’s few must-listen albums of the year. There’s no other way to describe Ungodly Hour than as a treat for R&B fans: from the variety of tempos (there’s the breathtakingly beautiful ballad Wonder What She Thinks of Me as well as the certified party bop Do It), to the timely range of topics from relationships to self-love (the lyric “I had to learn to love me lately” felt especially pertinent in a year without the usual social distractions); the album takes you on a ride. And of course, the whole time you’re wrapped in the surreal pleasure of their talent for unique harmonizations. If you’ve yet to queue this project on your streaming account, do it.

Holy Cow—All Cows Eat Grass • Electronic

Now here’s a group I’ve missed! ACEG projects always excel at layering dreamy synths with smooth beats, and Holy Cow fits right into the herd. One of their slower projects, tracks like Fly and Pillow Talk would easily fit into a summertime playlist with their simple, fun melodies. There’s also great storytelling in the lyrics of this project from the palpable excitement of the VIP section of a nightclub on About Us to the visceral shock of hearing “thank you” in response to “I love you” in a complicated relationship on Pretty Ladies—ouch. There are so many melodic gems on this 35-minute project; welcome to the pasture.

Ice Cream Clones—ROMderful • R&B

I must admit I was late to the party that is ROMderful’s music. I first encountered ROM last year via Twitter where he would post short clips of miniature duplicates of himself playing the various instruments of the track; the full videos can often be viewed on his YouTube channel. Since then, I’ve been enjoying the pleasant rabbit hole that is his Soundcloud (he’s had releases on Soulection) and production credits (he’s worked with artists like DUCKWRTH and Rayana Jay). A talented multi-instrumentalist, ROM’s music is full of fun sounds and soulful melodies, and his social media presence is just as joyful (his current Twitter name is ROMderTHICC). This project is full of very short tracks with infectious hooks. It’s a quick listen, but one I’ve returned to often.

Rumble Pack—Button • R&B

Button is the collaborative union of Allen Love and Bobby Earth—one of my absolute favorite independent R&B artists, and the reason I gave this project a listen. I’m very glad I did. Rumble Pack is brilliantly bizarre: funky synths, blazing features, all interspersed with random gaming commentary. Fans of The Jet Age of Tomorrow (Pyramid Vritra and the Internet’s Matt Martians) and ROMderful (who has a Rumble Pack feature) will surely appreciate the groovy eccentricity of this one. Thanks to this fun, soulful project, I’ve decided I may be a video game fan after all.

Cosmic Lips—Momocurly • Smooth Jazz

If the phrase ‘easy, breezy, beautiful’ were an album, this would be it! Momocurly is Japanese pianist and vocalist Momo Otani and French guitarist Christophe Pannekoucke. Together the two crafted an exquisitely mellow medley of melodies. Cosmic Lips is everything I enjoy in jazz: relaxing, mid-tempo and smooth. Otani’s voice is unique, high and light, and she glides over the tracks like Pannekoucke’s guitar. This project transports, it’s otherworldly.

with HER - EP—Crush • K*R&B

Because I believe Crush is one of the most talented R&B crooners making music right now, I was completely unsurprised to find that his latest project is smooth and soulful. Only five tracks, it’s a short one, and the concept is incredibly cute—each track is a duet with a different woman vocalist comprising a project of unique love ballads. The different vocalists mean each track has a unique sound and lyrically the project is full of heart-warming quotables and seductive one-liners. with HER is a project to fall in love to.

DPR ARCHIVES—DPR Live, DPR Ian, & DPR Cream • K*Rap/K*R&B

Ahh DPR, the eye candy that makes ear candy. DPR, initialism for Dream Perfect Regime, a South Korea-based art collective, blessed fans with this collection of both new and previously released tracks from DPR Live, DPR Ian, and DPR Cream. Though they collaborate extensively, each artist has a distinct sound that diversifies the collection overall—where I would call DPR Ian a pop artist, I’d call DPR Live a Rap/R&B artist, and then there’s DPR Cream whose contributions are purely instrumentals ranging from smooth and R&B-tinged to piano solos. For fans or those dipping their toes in for the first time, the ARCHIVES offer much to enjoy. (Also watch some DPR videos if you haven’t yet, both the men and the art are exceedingly visually pleasing.)

Peace Is Not a Dream—Senpu & ROMderful • R&B

And ROM makes another appearance! This time on a collaborative project—he has quite a few and I’ve enjoyed them all so far. Senpu, who I am less familiar with, contributes production and vocals to this project. Unlike Ice Cream Clones, these tracks feel more fully fledged out, with a verse or two in addition to the chorus. Between the memorable melodies and vocal harmonizations this project is certainly dreamy.

Rare Changes—Mayer Hawthorne �� Soul

If you know anything about me, you know Hawthorne is one of my favorite blue-eyed soul artists, and Rare Changes is a lovely retro addition to his catalog. This album is from the seventies, I’m convinced: from the mid-tempo disco grooves to the doo-wop style background vocals. Rare Changes demonstrates Hawthorne’s adeptness at balancing nostalgia with the best parts of modern music, queue this one for a mellow night of slow dancing and slow sipping.

Honorable Mentions (there’s some bops here, but overall the project didn’t move me):

It Is What It Is—Thundercat • Funk

Whimsical & free-flowing as is his style; lyrically musing & haunting, the last track is an absolute clincher to the project.

The Slow Rush—Tame Impala • Alternative

If age-ripened weariness had a soundtrack you could bop to at a festival; Breathe Deeper instantly brings a smile to my face.

Shabrang—Sevdaliza • Alternative

Sevdaliza is one of the few artists who consistently leaves me breathless—her art is daring, thought-provoking, and absurdly beautiful. Shabrang is no different in its presentation and lyricism, though it is musically more traditional than I might expect.

Sin Miedo—Kali Uchis • Reggaeton

I already think Spanish is a beautiful language but Kali just makes it even more so. I’m not the biggest fan of reggaeton (I’m sorry to say it starts to sound repetitive to me after awhile) but the slower songs on this project are lovely: R&B melodies with her breathy, unique vocals. I definitely enjoyed the listen!

SLINGBAUM ONE—Slingbaum • Experimental Jazz

Voyage-19—Bilal x HighBreedMusic • Experimental Jazz

For fans of experimental jazz, get into SLINGBAUM ONE and Voyage-19, both projects are odd in the best sense: more about vibes and transitions than the traditionally cohesive album—I bought both and I’m still enjoying exploring them.

SAWAYAMA—Rina Sawayama • Pop

Future Nostalgia—Dua Lipa • Pop

Pure pop is not my usual fare, but SAWAYAMA, a fun, dance project is truly special—it is genre melting and Rina’s strong voice transforms to expertly complement each new vibe. Also, PLEASE watch the video for XS, it was one of the few things that energized me this year. And then there’s Future Nostalgia, a fun disco-inspired project. Only a couple of the bass lines & melodies caught my ear, but the visual/aesthetic roll out was spectacular.

The Album—Teyana Taylor • R&B

This was my first time sitting down to try a full Taylor project, and while I overall found the tracks repetitive, The Album has some bass lines I enjoyed and Taylor’s voice is beautiful.

Tagged by @ladydreilgard

1. Name/nickname: Lotus

2. Gender: Genderfae, very lesbian. (I’m usually like...a woman with some nonbinaryness in there, and no matter what my gender is at any given time, it’s influenced by my queerness and my lesbianism. And probably my neurodivergence too.)

3. Star sign: Taurus sun, Scorpio moon, Libra rising

4. Height: a little over 5′1. I haven’t really grown much since like 8th grade :/

5: Current time: 1:06 am . (Holy shit I’m actually finishing this at like 2am; I can’t believe how much time flies. :O I wouldn’t’ve thought it would’ve taken me this long to do these questions xD )

6: Birthday: It was really recent! I had a pretty decent time considering the circumstances. ^_^ (It was my second quarantine birthday :/ )

7. Favorite bands: uhhhh I should probably have a more prepared answer for this but Linkin Park has been one since I was a kid, and off the top of my head I like a lot of Pink Floyd songs. Also Evanescence is cool. And A Tribe Called Red. Also does Secret Garden count as a band? I’m guessing not really but I’ll include it here. And does Chloe x Halle count as a band? If so I would also say they’re probably a fave of mine (even though I definitely need to listen to more of their stuff). And maybe G-Idle (though I’m only really into one of their songs). Oh, and Afro Celts.

8. Favorite solo artists: Yuki Kajiura (if she counts), same with Joe Hisaishi. Definitely SJ Tucker, Lil Nas X, Loreena Mckennit, maybe Rhianna (also a childhood fav), maybe Megan Thee Stallion, maybe Kevin Kern and Stive Morgan (though they’re instrumentalists). There are also lots of artists for whom I really like like one song of theirs and I wanna get more into them overall (like Lala Hsu, FKA Twigs [though for her it’s more than just one], Vienna Teng, and probably a bunch of others that I’m blanking out on rn). I’m also probably blanking out on a lot of bands and solo artists in general who I like.

9. Song stuck in my head: I’m listening to “Holy Terrain” by FKA Twigs rn but before I started listening to music, it was probably a mix of this choral song I’m listening to for school and a song I’m working on composing that’s loosely inspired by it.

10. Last movie I watched: hmmm, why am I having trouble remembering? It might be Castle in the Sky which I watched a while ago with my fiancee. Or it might be Pixar’s “Soul”. I can’t remember which one I saw first

11. Last show I watched: if it counts, then Adventuring Party (which is the Dimension 20 talk-back show)

13. When did I create this blog? It was almost a decade ago. I’m really glad this blog is still here and I can still look through it (like, go to a random page on my “beautiful” tag). In a sense my tumblr is kind of a mess but I also view it as kind of an archive of my life and of treasures I’ve found. Obviously a lot has changed since I first created the blog, but I’m glad it’s still here. And I’m super grateful to any mutuals who I’ve been connected with for a large portion of that time <3

13. What I post: I mean, y’all have seen a decent amount of it, but lots of random shit I like or think is pretty or interesting. Lots of nature and art, lots of leftist politics, lots of LGBTQ stuff, a decent amount of fandom stuff (like Dimension 20, star trek, steven universe, hilda, whatever else is on my mind), and some humor and spirituality sprinkled in ^_^ . Oh and I sometimes get horny on main and I should probably make another blog for that but I’ve been too lazy to. I’ll let y’all know if that happens :)

14. Last thing I googled: Streetlight Manifesto (a band a friend was recommending)

15: Other blogs: @sapphohaven (which I didn’t create but I’ve been running it for a while), @stimmylotus (my stim blog)

16. Do I get asks? Not a lot, but I sometimes find large amounts of asks to be overwhelming so I don’t really mind. (I’m currently drafting a long response to an ask I got over a month ago, if that gives you an idea.) Lighthearted ones are always welcome though, and asks letting me know if I accidentally reblogged a terf or something.

17. Why I chose my url? I actually kinda remember this xD . I had tried just “lotus” (which I knew was probably already taken but I figured it was worth trying), then “moonlotus” (which was also taken), then “earthmoonlotus”. All of those words were (and are) spiritually resonant to me and it just kinda works I guess.

18. Following: 5000 (shit, I need to go through again and unfollow inactive blogs)

19. Followers: 3,750 (though a lot of them are probably inactive. I reached 3,000 sometime around 5 years ago and it’s only really crawled since then.)

20. Average hours of sleep: I have no idea but probably around 9 or so

21. Lucky number: idk. I sometimes like to breathe and center myself when I see 11:11 on the clock. And when my fiancee and I are together we like to kiss when that happens ^_^ . 333 can be nice too

22. Instruments: I’m actually a proficient musician. I play piano, violin, and flute, and I compose. I can also transcribe and arrange stuff if anyone wants to hire me for that

23. What I am wearing: denim shorts I just threw on earlier today so I wouldn’t be in my underwear when I go out in the hall to use the bathroom, and a pretty flowery shirt with a denim collar

24. Dream trip: oooo this is kinda tough because there are so many places I would love to travel to. I guess I’ll say a long, like, month-long or 3-month long trip around Europe (I’d definitely wanna see Stonehenge and some other ancient Pagan sites, I’d definitely wanna go to Berlin and some other parts of Germany, and I’d definitely wanna go to Paris and maybe some other parts of France. I also might be interested in Ireland and possibly some other places)

25. Favorite food: this is a hard one because there are so many to choose from. Maybe a good chocolatey and fruity cheesecake-based dessert. And for savory stuff, maybe like...a really good stir-fry with seitan or tofu and broccoli on white vermincelli rice noodles.

26. Nationality: born and raised in the US, family is German-American by background on both sides

27. Favorite song: If I had to pick one it would probably be Decretum by Yuki Kajiura.

28. Last book I read: aaaaa I need to read more. I started “Emergent Strategy” by Adrienne Marie Brown and I really wanna finish it but haven’t gotten around to it. The last book I finished was probably “Record of a Spaceborn Few” by Becky Chambers.

29: Top 3 fictional universes: holy shit this is such a good question. Definitely the Star Trek universe. As for the other two...the universe of Niel Shusterman’s “Everlost” has always stuck with me for some reason even though I read the book in middle school and idk if I’ve even re-read it. It would be interesting to re-read as an adult, especially considering how much of the book I actually remember for how long ago it was that I read it. As for a third....gotta say Becky Chambers’ “Wayfarers” universe. Though the universe of Ursula K. le Guin’s “The Dispossessed” is also really up there.

30. favorite color: I guess maybe pink if I had to pick one (especially fuscia). I’m also into like...the bright green of summer grass.

I’ll tag @grimgroaningghost , @observedintoexistence , @leandie , and @pixierosegarden (I’m feeling nostalgic about how old this blog is and how long these folks have been following me, though I’m sure other long-time mutuals have slipped my mind), but any of my followers or mutuals are welcome to participate ^_^
