BPM’s Top 50 Albums of 2024
This year, like every year in music, the cream of the crop is a mosaic of styles, moods, tones and textures. We’ve done our best to crochet it all together into a loving patchwork
Enjoy:
"While Eyes Wide Open absolutely retains TWICE’s absurd knack for earworm verses and hooks, its sound is without a doubt the most mature the group has yet attempted"
- @ChaseCataz reviews K-pop sensations @JYPETWICE's new album: bit.ly/3jIlSgi
"across their years in the game, TWICE have gradually, reliably, and without much fanfare, established perhaps just about the strongest girl group discography in K-pop"
-@ChaseCataz reviews @JYPETWICE's new album Formula of Love: O+T=<3: bit.ly/3kGDLPR
It's RECOMMENDED
TWICE's "Scientist" is an undeniable (we’re going to say it) bop, complete with a surprisingly funky musical backing, allowing time for each member to shine
