I'm not saying it's not deserving I'm just surprised since I never heard of it
Not too surprising considering what I know of your listening habits. I first heard of her on Frank Oceans Blonde and have been a fan ever since. It's not my favorite album of the year, but its a very good R&B albumI'm not saying it's not deserving I'm just surprised since I never heard of it

Also, if you haven’t heard her Love Me Back record from 2010, give that one a listen. That is a really great R&B album
My favorite list of the year is online : HHV Mag Artist & Partner Vinyl Charts of 2021
Lists by some of the best record shops owners, labels curators, djs, artists, journalists from all over the world. There are some very interesting lists and others like this one :

Aren’t Diggers Factory pretty much entirely grey label too
Looks like it. What a world, NPR and P4K agreeing on something. I've always looked at the 2 as having widely different demographics

I couldn't get into that one but I get what you're saying. Unfortunately I was late to the party on that Arooj Aftab album which I find to be absolutely sublimeI wish I had discovered this Floating Points album sooner.

…I think it’s one of the best…maybe.
I mean double Lana right near the top is a little ridiculous. But hey Japanese Breakfast at 1? St. Vicent at 2? And Courtney Barnett at 10? This is slightly more my style. Although not all the way.
