LP1 by FKA Twigs- The album is super haunting and breaks the rules of the R&B genre by giving it a ton of electronic and avant-garde elements. It uses sex as a metaphor, like what Lady Gaga did for Do What U Want, while the album isn't even about sex. You get beautiful and probs the best vocal performance in Pendulum, the haunting Numbers, the wild Video Girl, and the cold Give Up. It's memorable, it's beautiful, and y'all should give it a listen.

Isolation by Kali Uchis- She is an upcoming R&B artist who I believe deserves every mainstream attention she gets. She has her spacey and moody R&B songs, her bedroom pop songs, and even a reggaeton track.

Ctrl by SZA- You've probably have seen the name SZA in works of songs that are popular now, but it's nothing compared to her debut album. Ctrl is an R&B record with some trap, indie, and pop influnces thrown in. You get the women empowerment song (Drew Barrymore), the song that talks about society's constant want for sex (Doves In The Wind), and of course the hella catchy songs like Anything, The Weekend, and Love Galore.

Big Fish Theory by Vince Staples- This is honestly one of the most futuristic and experimental Hip Hop albums I've heard in 2017. It combines Hip Hop music, avant-garde, and elements of dance music to make this wild piece of art. You get wild and crazy songs like Yeah Right, the catchy tracks like Big Fish and Rain Come Down, and the club dance tracks like Love Can Be.

Pure Heroine (Extended) by Lorde- Of couse we all know Lorde is an icon. I didn't want to include obvious choices in this list of albums I love that are popular across this wiki (Melodrama and Lust For Life), but I feel like the extended version of this album is worth a try. You get the great portion of Pure Herione like Royals, Tennis Court, etc., but the extended version provides some underrated gems like the beautiful cover of Swingin Party, the upbeat Million Dollar Bills, and the chill The Love Club.

St. Vincent by St. Vincent- St. Vincent makes art, alright? This album is all over the place and is heavily influnced by indie rock and indie pop. You get the groovy Digital Witness, the upbeat Birth In Reverse, and the relaxing and moody Prince Johnny. She deserves that Grammy.

Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 by Calvin Harris- This direction that Calvin took works well for him. It honestly is so refreshing to see this style of funk and overall tropical vibes that he choose for this album instead of the overdone EDM sound. Prayers Up and Cash Out are groovy, Rollin', Fakin' It, and Slide are chill, and Feels is a bop.

DAMN. and To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar- It's super overrated outside of this wiki, and quite hypocritical to include this and not Lust for Life and Melodrama, but on this wiki I think this is a heavily underrated gem. Many people view Hip Hop as just a bunch of lyrics about drugs, sex, and money layered on top of a trap beat, but this album just proves that statement to be false. I would give this reccomendation to people who view Hip Hop as just a stupid genre with no purpose at all. Anyway, the albums hit hard and are one of the best of this decade.

After Laughter by Paramore- The 80's is one of my favorite decades in music and Paramore is one of my fav bands of all time. So when Paramore took this turn in music, I was shocked and in love. Haley's vocals are amazing and the hooks are great. You get the synth pop vibes in Hard Times and Rose-Colored Boy, the reggae vibes in Caught In The Middle, and the upbeat rock anthems like Grudges and Idle Worship.

Other albums that y'all know I love, but didn't include- Entire Lana discography, Melodrama, Masseduction, and American Teen.
