I refuse to buy into the “own nothing” agenda so over the past five years or so, I’ve been buying back my music and it’s been worth it. And honestly, I like owning..well, holding the things I love.
These four albums give me absolute joy. They’re on constant repeat. johnlegend’s Get Lifted is a true masterpiece - I'm giving it a special mention because I never truly appreciated it till recently. It feels like a rich dessert: layered, poetic, and lyrically satisfying. Every track gets it's full moment, not just noise or throwaway words filled with profanity.
I love knowing what song comes next. I love flipping through the lyric booklet when I want to sit with the words. The instrumentation, the soul in the vocals it all feels intentional and brings me to a happy place.
These are mine, now over to you!
