As we wrap up the year, we’re sharing some of our staff members’ favorite albums of the year. Here’s Kat Keeley’s list.

5. Adele – 30

What can I say? Adele’s comeback was everything. It had been such a long time since she’s released any music. It was a good album.

4. Bruno Mars + Anderson .Paak – An Evening with Silk Sonic

I love the energy that they both give on this album. They made a classic and smooth record.

3. Doja Cat – Planet Her

She is so talented! She is a really awesome performer and this album is just as awesome.

2. Lil Nas X – MONTERO

This album was just a lot of fun and I liked it.

1. Tony Bennett + Lady Gaga – Love for Sale

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett are legends. He deserves to rank number one. He released an album and performed at age 95. And Gaga had a whole movie release this year, too? Jazz deserves more recognition in the mainstream light!
