The Best Albums of 2017, According to Us

"Trip came hot on the heels of a tragic loss for Jhené Aiko, so it's no surprise it's a deeply personal and emotional album reflecting on grief. The psychedelic album lifts you into a hazy, melancholy mood, as if you transformed the effects of LSD, weed, and tripping on mushrooms into music. It has 22 tracks, which can seem like a lot, but when the writing is this good, it's worth a focused listen. Indulge and enjoy." — Zareen Siddiqui, audience development associate
