Re: EOY Albums: List Updates
Agree with CMAT, one of the best sophomore efforts of recent time. Not sure why Janelle didn't get as much love, the lyrics are a bit more 'silly' than Dirty Computer, maybe?
I suspect Roisin Murphy would have fared much better had her disappointing comments not been made public.

While the sentiment in 'Auntie Diaries' is positive it's all kinds of problematic and fails to land.
