The projects of Rema, Tems, and Ayra Starr have been listed
among Rolling Stone’s ‘best 100 albums of 2024’.
The list, which was released on Monday, spotlights
outstanding albums that have enjoyed global success in the year.
The magazine described ‘Heis‘, Rema’s second studio album
which secured the number 11th spot in the list, as a “unique, buzzy and
visceral” project.
“Heis sounds more like a rave than almost anything Rema has
made prior raging while everything else simmers. The result is the buzzy,
visceral, sweat-it-out music that no one else in the mainstream is making,” it
wrote.
Tem’s debut album ‘Born in the Wild‘ earned the 37th spot
due to the “physical and emotional listening experience” it gives.
“Her debut album measures the soul work it’s taken to get
here. All of it has paid off on an album so rich that the listening experience
is a physical one as much as it is emotional,” the magazine wrote.
Starr’s second album ‘The Year I Turned 21′ clinched the
53rd position. According to Rolling Stone, the album showcased the singer’s
“musical maturity and enviable passion”.
“Ayra Starr asserts a musical maturity that be could be
considered far beyond her years but perhaps more aptly serves as a reminder of
the emotional depth, logical process and enviable passion young people
possess,” it added.
In 2022, Asake’s debut album ‘Mr Money with the Vibe’ made
the US magazine’s list.
