Great Undiscovered Albums in 2014?
For something great yet undiscovered
albums that you adore but they didn't make the top 40 last year .... albums that can be a welcome discovery in January 2015 and beyond.... |

One of my favourite albums of the year was MO - No Mythologies to Follow. Really catchy alt/pop. Tove Lo - Queen of the Clouds was awesome too.

For fans of cheesy girl group pop, I'd recommend Sweet California's album Break Of Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yFGmHav8LU
For fans of Scandinavian pop, Die Another Day by Beatrice Eli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR-l84GS7xk For pure pop fans, Heart Beats by Dami Im: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGcFsXmisQQ Danity Kane are probably too well known to be here, but as they missed the Top 40 I think they deserve a mention for DK3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikx4jPjIewE Same for Azealia Banks and Broke With Expensive Taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtTjzDTpx8o |

None of my favourite albums from last year troubled the charts but I'd recommend all of these:
King of Hearts - Peven Everett It's Time - Sean McCabe The Man - Omar In The Red Room - Shaun Escoffery Broken Toys - Smoove & Turrell Music for Adverts - Lack of Afro There's More To Life Than This - Ben Westbeech |

How do you find all these albums? I used to look at the 'new releases' rack in Woolworth and Our Price - but those have gone. I could listen to random music and hope I find something I like but that is hardly professional is it?

Does it count if the album peaked at number 40?
If yes, my vote (and favourite album of last year) goes to 'The London Sessions' from Mary J Blige. It's a genuinely stunning album. I don't pretend to own her albums, but it's definitely the best of those I own. Her voice just gets better with age. |

Lucky you! She is great. Who would have thought that a blonde, white girl from Birmingham could play the blues like that!
![]() I saw her in December, it was the first time I'd seen her live and, wow, can she play!! I met her afterwards and said her guitar playing was very reminicent of Stevie Ray Vaughan, who I was lucky enough to see in 1983. It turns out he is one of her heroes so we hit it off straight away then!! She only spoilt it by saying she was four when he died in 1990 - that made me feel very old!! But if you ever get the chance to meet her, take it as she is very modest about her talents and a really lovely person.

Probably there were some though! |
