#16 Georgia "Seeking Thrills"
2020 has been a good year for the type of synthpop I enjoy, with Jessie Ware, Automagik, The Weeknd, Chromatics and Dua Lipa, among others. Georgia's "Seeking Thrills" is another one of these. There are some definite classic late 80s - early 90's Chicago and Detroit influences. The album is front loaded with the dancefloor tracks while the the mood gets a bit more laid back in back half. I think fans of Robyn should give this a try. Standouts for me are "Never Let You Go", "About Work The Dancefloor", "Mellow", Started Out" and "Feel It".

This came out in January and I kind of thought I would have forgotten it by now, but I keep listening to it. One of my favorite album covers of the year as well.
