Best R&B/Pop Album of 2010
Reader's Pick
Drake "Thank Me Later"
No artist had more pressure riding on their young Canadian shoulders this year than Drake, but the man somehow managed to live up to the hype with his debut album Thank Me Later, a project that continued to blur the lines between hip-hop, pop and R&B. From the banging Miss Me to the crooning Fireworks to whatever you'd call Fancy, Thank Me Later signaled not only the arrival of a new star, but a new age in mainstream music.
Staff Pick
Janelle Monae "The Archandroid"
I get paid to describe music for a living, but I simply can't find the words to describe Janelle Monae's breathlessly original album The Archandroid, a project the music lovers in the DJBooth offices can't seem to stop playing. It's hard to believe that such a big voice can come out of such a small body, or that anyone would dare mix science fiction opera and 50s doo-wop, but The Archandroid did them both, and did them well. There is, and will always be, only one Janelle Monae.

I'm not even kidding when I say this: "The ArchAndroid" is one of the most mindblowing albums I've ever heard. Absolutely @*#$! amazing. Spending more time praising this because Kanye's gotten his share of love, lol.
I'm positive with time this album and Kanye's release will crawl somewhere into my top 20 of all time list. "The Lady Killer" follows Monae's classic debut for my runner-up pick. |

That Janelle Monae album is truly EPIC (and yes, I mean it in the non-overused sense).
"Suite IV" ranks in my Top 10 most-anticipated of 2011 (or 2012)... |
