27 Albums That Got Us Through This Upside-Down Year

"I had no idea who Alina Baraz was before somehow falling onto her EP and I'm so glad I found her. Every song off the nine-track project is smooth and almost hypnotic. The romantic buried deep within me could listen to 'Fallin' every single night, while 'I Don't Even Know Why Though' is the regretful bop that makes me want to make all the bad decisions Baraz warns us against. Everything is sultry, dazzling, and worth a listen at least twice in a row." — Mekishana Pierre, assistant entertainment editor
