Series: Favourite Albums of the 2020s SO FAR! (Season 4, Episode 2)

Welcome to the second (2nd) episode of the fourth (4th) season of TMC's Series.

This fourth season will explore my top 20 favourite albums of the decade so far from 2020 to 2025.

Every episode, I will highlight four (4) albums by sharing my rating of the album along with my favourite tracks and song plus a short review of each album.

The listing will be done in alphabetical order and is not ranked in terms of personal favourability!

It should be noted that EPs (extended plays) and mixtapes will qualify to make the list although they are not technically albums.

Here are five honourable mentions that just barely missed the cut, which are: Bloom by Durand Bernarr, Eusexua by FKA twigs, Fountain Baby by Amaarae, Poster Girl by Zara Larsson and Second Line by Dawn Richard.

Album Review: "Woman In The Mirror" by Sacha

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song. Instantly I fell in love with the song and had to find out more about this new artist. Sacha Visagie, known mononymously as Sacha (or SACHA), is a Canadian country music singer and songwriter from Warkworth, Ontario. She is currently signed to Sony Music Canada.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
