As the year comes to an end, some phenomenal albums have been released. This year was particularly eventful for rock musicians. There were many great albums released, but only a few stood out.
With the year coming to a close, it’s always great to look back and appreciate what it's given us. When it comes to music, 2022 has been full of star-studded releases from across the globe, but the genre of R&B may have been the most exciting for many listeners. Here are my top R&B albums of 2022:
When “CTRL” was released in 2016, SZA was not only hailed as one of the best R&B artists of her time, but the album itself is considered one of the best of the decade.

The documentary on Selena Gomez, which came out earlier this month, covers a traumatic six-year era marked by significant physical and mental health challenges. The film, shot after Gomez received a bipolar disorder and lupus diagnosis, portrays the singer and actress learning how to love herself.
Walking between classes is a must for students. There's a good chance of having to take a freezing walk to make it from one class to another on time. Also, if you own a leather-seated car, you understand the struggle of sitting on cold seats and having to act like it's fine when it's not! However, blasting music is a good distraction to forget about your freezing hands.
After releasing a disappointing house project in “Honestly, Nevermind,” fans were excited yet skeptical when news came out of another project from Drake. However, with the help of a hilarious fake album rollout including Vogue, NPR Tiny Desk, Howard Stern and more, excitement grew exponentially.

Metal and metalcore bands have recently started getting into the mainstream charts within the past few years. By now, many are aware of who Bring Me The Horizon and Asking Alexandria are.

Oct. 28 featured some spectacular releases from Westside Gunn, SZA, and even Rihanna.

Architects’ 2021 album “For Those That Wish To Exist” was considered one of the best records to come of the year. Its heaviness and radical lyricism made the metal scene wild, making it hard for any other record to come close.
Thanks to streaming and technology, there are millions of artists available for listeners to discover. However, as helpful as this seems, it is difficult for these independent artists to carve out a career. For the past six years, Spotify has developed the Fresh Finds Program to help launch careers of multiple artists such as Clairo, Omar Apollo, and 100 gecs.
No one brings back the 80s synth vibes like The 1975. Now on their fifth studio album, this English rock band has been gaining traction since 2013. Now, the group is one of the more well-known alternative rock bands of the time, and for a good reason.
