Iggy PopFree	The Independent via Wikipedia	80 4/5	74	2019
Lana Del ReyNorman Fucking Rockwell!“The album is sultry and soporific, sitting somewhere between the minimalist trip-hop of Del Rey’s early days, and the scuzzy desert rock she has toyed with over the years”	The Independent via Wikipedia	80 4/5	88	2019

Rita OraPhoenix	The Independent via Wikipedia	80 4/5	76
WaxahatcheeSaint Cloud“Sufjan Stevens offers 10 years’ worth of jam sessions with his stepfather Lowell Brams, Waxahatchee is most country she’s ever sounded, while Basia Balut dances away the pain on ‘Are…”	The Independent via Wikipedia	100 5/5	83
