Read on for the list and commentary from Magnolia Park…
Magnolia Park’s Favorite Albums of 2022
Kendrick Lamar – Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
This album really hit home on dealing with generational trauma and moving forward. It is a very important release for me and helps me cope with mine. -Tristan Torres
Pinkshift – Love Me Forever
An amazing project that is just a blast to listen to while skating! -Tristan Torres
Bad Omens – The Peace Of Death Of Mind
has been on constant repeat because their melodies and the sounds they create is just magical. -Joshua Roberts
Demi Lovato – Holy Fvck
Her comeback album was so good for her vocally and definitely has replay material -Joshua Roberts
The Weeknd – Dawn FM
Executive produced by one of the all-time greatest songwriters Max Martin, this was one of the few pop albums in 2022 I really enjoyed listening from start to finish, it sounds great and it knows exactly what it’s supposed to be as a retro/dance album. -Vincent Ernst
Polyphia – Remember That You Will Die
Sounds dope -FRED
Lucki – Flawless Like Me
One of the best hip hop projects of the year filled with dark lyrics and trap beats. –Joe Horsham
Dayseeker – Dark Sun
Perfect blend of heavy and soft with some of the best vocals in the genre -Joe Horsham
Copeland – Revolving Doors
Chief – Old Friends EP
These two releases managed to captivate me like no other release in 2022. Incredibly well written and constantly left on repeat. -Jared Kay
