Episode Synopsis

It’s been five years since a wave of major albums defined the sound of 2020. In this episode, I’m revisiting the records that shaped that year—from Future Nostalgia to folklore, Chromatica to Punisher—to explore how they hold up today. Some still feel vital, others less so. Let’s find out which ones aged gracefully, and which are starting to show their cracks.Albums discussed:Dua Lipa – Future NostalgiaThe Weeknd – After HoursPhoebe Bridgers – PunisherTaylor Swift – folklore / evermoreFiona Apple – Fetch The Bolt CuttersMiley Cyrus – Plastic HeartsHAIM – Women in Music Pt.
