2024 was an interesting year for the music arena. The Smile released two albums, both of which were great, and Charli XCX became an omnipresent figure in the lexicon of popular music. I personally consumed albums released in 2024, but also from prior years and decades, all of which were a pleasure to discover and admire for their point of view, freshness, and ambition. Timeliness is a quality that just grows in one’s eyes as we grow in age I suppose. The ability to bask in the newness of the recent and the foresight of the innovation of what has been released in the past.
