Get ready to groove to the beats of the best albums of 2024! Rolling Stone has just released its coveted list of the top 100 albums of the year, and we’re thrilled to see some of Africa’s finest talents making the cut.
Rema, Tems, and Asake are among the talented artists whose albums have been listed among Rolling Stone’s best 100 albums of 2024. These albums have not only enjoyed global success but have also left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Rema’s second studio album, “Heis”, secured the 11th spot on the list, and for good reason. The album is a unique blend of sounds that will keep you raging and simmering all at once. As Rolling Stone aptly put it, “Heis sounds more like a rave than almost anything Rema has made prior… The result is the buzzy, visceral, sweat-it-out music that no one else in the mainstream is making.”
Tems’ debut album, “Born in the Wild”, earned the 37th spot on the list, and it’s easy to see why. The album is a soulful, emotional, and physical listening experience that will leave you breathless. As Rolling Stone noted, “Her debut album measures the soul work it’s taken to get here… All of it has paid off on an album so rich that the listening experience is a physical one as much as it is emotional.”
Arya Starr’s second album, “The Year I Turned 21”, clinched the 53rd position on the list, and it’s a testament to her musical maturity and passion. As Rolling Stone observed, “Ayra Starr asserts a musical maturity that could be considered far beyond her years… but perhaps more aptly serves as a reminder of the emotional depth, logical process, and enviable passion young people possess.”
Asake’s debut album, “Mr Money with the Vibe”, also made the list in 2022, and it’s a great example of the talented artist’s ability to create music that resonates with audiences worldwide.
These albums are a must-listen, and we’re thrilled to see them featured on Rolling Stone’s list of the best 100 albums of 2024. So, go ahead and give them a spin – your ears will thank you!
