Within the past couple of weeks, there have been an incredible number of new music albums and singles released from many popular music artists. I am a huge music lover, and have had lots of these albums on repeat since they released, so here is an honest ranking of some of my favorites.

3. “Man’s Best Friend” by Sabrina Carpenter

This may have been the most anticipated album on this list, as Sabrina Carpenter is such a popular artist. She has many #1 hits, especially on her last album “Short and Sweet,” such as “Espresso” and “Please, Please, Please.” Although Carpenter originally received a lot of backlash and controversy when she first announced the album due to its “inappropriate” cover, I enjoyed the album itself. “Man’s Best Friend” is very fun and upbeat, with lots of humor in the lyrics. It definitely contains adult themes and messages, however it portrayed Sabrina’s transition from her childhood into a more mature era of her life. Honestly, I don’t think this is Sabrina’s best work, and I expected a little bit more from this album. I still enjoyed it, though I liked her previous albums more, so I would rate this a 6/10.

2. “A Matter of Time” by Laufey

This album is so whimsical, and Laufey’s vocal tone is absolutely stunning. Laufey’s style of music is primarily jazz, which you don’t hear often in the modern world. “A Matter of Time” mixes jazz with a more contemporary style, which is incredibly unique. Just like Conan Gray, she is a magnificent lyricist and vocalist, and this album really demonstrates what she is capable of. The sheer emotion in this album is breathtaking, which she portrays through her intricate lyrics, orchestral instrumentals and difficult yet soothing vocals. I could listen to this album over and over again and never get bored, so I give this album a 10/10.
