MELOOONNNN!

7. Susanne Sundfr - Music for People in Trouble
Key Track: Undercover (

Judging purely by melodic beauty, this is hands down album of the year. Sundfr has gathered a bit of a Bjrk-esque reputation in recent years, but that particular ice goddess hasn't put out a record of songs this straightforwardly beautiful since Vespertine, if ever. Music for People in Trouble isn't an album that blows you away on first listen, but its plaintiveness and unpretentiousness turn out to be its greatest strengths. Sundfr's sound on this record strikes the perfect balance between sparse and lush, the production is pristine and her voice is stunning. This is not an album that lends itself to hifalutin descriptions, but I really can't praise it enough - Music for People in Trouble is a collection of utterly gorgeous songs that gets better every single time I listen to it, and I wouldn't be surprised if I revisited this list in years to come and it landed even higher. If you like singer-songwriter or artsy pop music even slightly, please please don't miss out on this.
