Top Albums of 2009

Welcome to the annual “Top Albums of the Year” list. As I expected, 2009 was an amazing year for music. Putting together this list was much harder than I anticipated. There were so many quality albums that did not make the cut and I’m sure I’ll kick myself two months from now for leaving something [...]

but her style is unlike anything many have been exposed to before. After a few listens, I became hooked, and a fan.
Regina’s new record, [...]
