The title says it all with this one, this album was truly a theatrical
masterpiece in my opinion and as someone with a musical theatre
background, I can really appreciate the intricacy within the overall
composition of the tracks both musically and vocally. It told a story
and each song on the album is so beautifully crafted and has its own
individual style and flare to it.
P!nk - M!ssundaztood (2001)
There's always been something about the OG P!nk that's inspired me
both musically and within my personal life. This album still resonates
with me today, even more so actually, than it did before. When I was
young, this album was just something I enjoyed listening to, I loved
the way it sounded and how it made me feel, but as I grow older, the
songs from this album grow with me, making more sense and still get me
singing along.
Shania Twain - Up! (2002)
Shania holds a near and dear place in my heart, she's actually the
reason I started singing and had me telling my parents, "I wanna be a
popstar" at the age of four years old. This album just made me wanna
dance and sing. It was corky, it was cool, and it was fun. In my eyes,
at the time, this was exactly what music was supposed to be.
Illenium - Awake (2017)
It was very hard for me to choose only one Illenium album to showcase
today because I could've picked all of them, but this one, in
particular, holds significance in my life as a musician. A lot of the
tracks on this album influenced me to start incorporating electronic
elements into my own music. There's something about ethereal EDM that
makes me feel so uplifted. As if the music itself is lifting me up
into the ether, and for some weird reason, I absolutely love that
feeling. There are so many songs within this album that resonate with
me and allow me to feel that feeling and I draw a lot of inspiration
from that.
Rihanna - Loud (2010)
Rihanna is another hugely influential artist for me, she's inspired me
for so many reasons, but I think with this album we saw a completely
different side of her. Throughout all of her music, we witness her
growth and development as a person. But within this album, I think we
see her becoming her perfect self. Truly accepting who she is and
coming to terms with all of her past. I found that every song was
authentic, beautiful, vulnerable and honest.
