WELL, It has been an AMAZING year of music…At least I think it has. Some of my favorite artists have released amazing work, and I have been extremely impressed with the growth of a select few. Adele, Taylor Swift, Needtobreathe, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, Colbie Caillat, and Demi Lovato have shared their talent once again blowing me away as both a fan and a critic. Taylor Swift has given yet fourteen more reasons to support the fact that she is a lyrical genius—most specifically Last Kiss—and Demi Lovato has shown that she can break away from the Disney image and transition smoothly from the teeny-bopper sound into the R&B, Pop genre. Colbie released a light, airy, summery album that was perfect for my time in LA, and most recently, Needtobreathe and Miranda Lambert released albums where I was able to find a number of songs I thoroughly enjoy. Adele’s album was…absolutely amazing and incredible.
(My disappointments included Lady Antebellum and Lil Wayne, but nothing that can’t be solved by a release of something more like their previous works in the future.)
I have had some of my favorite songs and artists this year, and I want to share my own personal Grammys “CLAIR-EYS” that I have awarded this year. After much deliberation and thought, I have concluded the top three awards to share with you all. (My ultimate 2011 playlist will come as my last post…so be ready for that!)
And The CLAIR-EY goes to…
1. Jason Aldean –Favorite Album
2. Hunter Hayes & David Nail –Favorite New Artists
3. Adele –Artist of the Year
