Explore Colombia - from lilting Afro-Colombian rhythms with Latin male vocals, to traditional cumbia sabanera featuring accordion. Energetic percussion-driven tambura and Palenquera join bullerengue cumbia with call and response male vocals. Powerful industrial rock with aggressive guitars, hard-hitting drums and searing male vocals. Inspiring feel-good electro pop and pop songs with vibrant hooky verses, uplifting choruses and piano give way to more heartfelt pop ballads with acoustic guitar and male vocals, strings and sparse percussion. Propulsive and tension-building, with synths, guitar, bombastic brass and mysterious piano, powerful orchestral elements and epic, driving drums. Plus, of course, plenty of builds and dramatic endings. Carefree, insouciant jazz flute and piano with jaunty sax and whimsical bass clarinet make merry with a relaxed piano ensemble, vibraphone, bluesy Hammond organ and brush kit and percussion.

This year has already given us an emo-pop opus from Halsey, a welcome comeback from the Strokes, killer country from the Secret Sisters, an optimistic Future record, and great releases from up-and-coming artists like Moses Sumney, Beach Bunny, and Shake. By the fourth installment, most pop-culture franchises can start to seem pretty tired. RTJ4 , which the band rush-released a few days ahead of schedule, is laser-focused, as if Mike and El-P are trying to outrun the apocalypse. Mike unloads on racist cops, systemic poverty, corporate media, and other eternal enemies. But the album never feels preachy, because the music bounces as much as it brays, with an elastic flow and deep history. Incredibly, Dua Lipa is successful: The upbeat album that she decided to release a week earlier than planned is the perfect balm for a stressful time.
The album won't go down without a fight. As the algorithmic thinking of the streaming music era tightens its grip on the record industry and consumer listening habits, artists are still writing and recording collections of new material, releasing them as cohesive units on specific dates, and suggesting that you listen to them in a pre-established order. As a format for enjoying multiple songs and a way of thinking about creative development, it remains essential. Even with all its tumult, didn't change that. There's always good new music out there, providing the soundtrack to the highs and lows of daily life. Sometimes it comes from a new artist you've never heard of before; sometimes it comes from a reliable veteran you perhaps stopped listening to consistently. Either way, great albums make an impression.
