Here are my top 5 albums by famous singers, explained from my personal and subjective point of view. These are choices related not only to the quality of the music, but also to how these albums made me feel and what they represent to me.
1. "25" – Adele
For me, this album is number one because it is an emotional masterpiece. Each track seems to tell a story that could belong to anyone. Adele manages to capture universal feelings like nostalgia, lost love and hope in such an intimate way that it seems like she is singing just for you. Her voice is powerful yet vulnerable, and songs like Hello and When We Were Young are authentic punches in the emotional gut.
2. "DAMN." – Kendrick Lamar
This album is a raw and powerful poem. Kendrick skillfully mixes personal insight, social commentary and storytelling, creating a work that needs to be listened to multiple times to catch all the nuances. Every song, from HUMBLE. to DNA., is a statement of intent. For me, it's special because it's not just music, but a journey that challenges you to think more deeply about society and yourself.
3. "Folklore" – Taylor Swift
Folklore is like a secret diary shared with the world. Taylor Swift completely reinvents herself, abandoning mainstream pop to explore indie-folk sounds. It's an introspective, melancholic album, full of stories that seem to come out of a book. Songs like Cardigan and Exile are masterpieces that manage to create a dreamy and nostalgic atmosphere. For me, it's like a warm blanket on a rainy day.
4. "The Dark Side of the Moon" – Pink Floyd
I couldn't not include a timeless classic. This album is a psychedelic journey through universal themes such as life, time and mortality. It's a work that goes beyond music: each song is connected, creating an immersive experience. For me, listening to it is like meditating; Songs like Time and Us and Them make me reflect on life in a way that few albums can.
5. "1989" – Taylor Swift
Yes, Taylor Swift appears twice, but 1989 is a breakthrough album for me. It was the moment she fully embraced pop, creating hits that have become generational anthems. Songs like Blank Space and Style are impossible not to love: they are catchy, catchy, but with clever lyrics. This album makes me feel energetic and nostalgic at the same time, a perfect mix.
Why this ranking?
These albums represent different moments in my life and different moods. There is a balance between introspection, energy and pure emotion. Each of them is special for how they made me feel and how they inspired me. It's not just music: it's a reflection of who I am.
