My Favorite Albums of 2019

Here is my list of my personal top albums of 2019 You can find my separate list for top EPs of 2019 here.

My Previous monthly lists from 2019: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December

My list last year for my top albums of 2018 can be found here.

*Indicates someone I saw live in 2019

Honorable Mentions:

Anderson .Paak - Ventura Genre: Hip Hop / R&B/ Soul

Recorded at the same time as last year’s Oxnard, Ventura is the more tender and unassuming brother of the two. Despite the vulnerability this seems to be Anderson’s more comfortable persona. Focusing on love and feelings and other mushy stuff. The experimenting on this album between R&B, jazz, electronic music creates a glossy and elaborate form of hip hop. At times Anderson’s versatility can get a bit in the way on long form projects, here that creativity is perhaps the most channeled of his career.

Anna of the North - Dream Girl Genre: Synth-Pop

The tender and delicate music of Oslo singer Anna of the North is back following up her touching 2017 debut album. Anna’s music is not totally unassuming but is very subtle and reserved. You can take a moment to stop and feel the soothing vibes or you can pass it by and not notice. The synth based production is meant to provide a basis to get hips moving but also not to reach out and demand your attention in a needy way. Anna’s vocals are always warm and bouncy even when singing about sad subject matters.

Proof: My Love / Playing Games

Billie Eilish - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? Genre: Synth-Pop

I stumbled on Billie Eilish’s “ocean eyes” single early on and instantly became a fan of her dark and brooding sound. It reminded me of the first time I heard The Weeknd. Even being an early subscriber it did surprise me a bit the vice grip the 18 year old would put on 2019. I knew she would find an audience with the undeniable talent for songwriting and impacting voice beyond her years. I did not foresee this low lit and frankly weird music hitting the mainstream with such a force, but I sure am glad it did. This is where I would say I can’t wait to see how she follows up this monster of debut album, but honestly she deserves to revel in the influence it is having and enjoy this moment. She will be around for however long she wishes to in the industry; that I am certain of.

Proof: bad guy / you should see me in a crown

BJ The Chicago Kid - 1123 Genre: R&B / Soul

It was a long time coming for hook provider BJ The Chicago Kid’s 2016 debut album In My Mind. He showed he can carry a solo project just fine. Now in 2019 he’s back for his victory lap with another soulful and sexy album that follows up his debut quite nicely. BJ is a bit of a throw back to the late 90’s/early 2000’s soul music which is right up my alley so you already know I ride for it with no qualms.

Proof: Rather Be With You / Reach (Feat. Afrojack)

Bon Iver - i,i Genre: Indie Pop / Folk

Justin Vernon’s band Bon Iver has created quite a robust cult following that’s very impressive off of four albums spanning over 12 years and in non-uniform song structures and themes. i,i might be the band’s most straightforward record, but that doesn’t mean there’s any downgrade in creativity and innovation. As always the case with Bon Iver albums your senses are confronted with multiple instruments and production tools used in traditional ways and used in ways you wouldn’t think of. Grooves are created then shifted and the only real constant is you don’t know what direction the music will go next. But that’s part of the joy and you know Justin Vernon is a trustworthy navigator on this expansive journey.

Proof: Hey, Ma / U (Man Like)

Bring Me the Horizon - amo Genre: Rock / Alternative

On their sixth album, the English rock group took experimentation and expansion seriously broadening their rock sound to new horizons (ok, that was bad). amo isn’t as much a departure for the alt-Metal group but more increasing their pallet to include more cross genre influences dipping into punk, pop, electronic and hip hop. There’s definitely risk with lofty exploration so suddenly in a band’s discography but BMTH pull it off rather elegantly here creating a unique blend that sounds a bit like a harder hitting Muse record. I am one to applaud audacious creative efforts to expand on ones sound if the motives seem pure; even when those attempts don’t quite work (Mumford & Sons - Babel, Jack White - Boarding House Reach, Coldplay - Everyday Life this year for instance). When they do stick the landing you can bet I am in awe.

Proof: in the dark / medicine

Circa Waves - What’s It Like Over There? Genre: Alternative / Rock

I will admit the English band hasn’t really been on my radar before this album, so I can’t ascribe how this album is different than their previous two albums (from what I've read it is very different though). What I do know if this is some of the best rock music to come out of 2019 in a year that wasn’t too kind to the genre. There are many emotional moments of this record that really bring levity to the glossy and cinematic music backdrops. There are two albums already announced in early 2020 from the group; they are definitely on my radar now.

Proof: Sorry, I’m Yours / Be Somebody Good

Chance The Rapper - Big Day Genre: Hip Hop / R&B

With how long he’s been around and how many Mixtapes and side projects Chance has dropped it’s pretty surprising this is his first ever official LP. When you wait that long and build (to his credit) the anticipation he has, a lot of weight gets put on that first album; unfortunately I feel that weight affected the product and swallowed it up a bit once released. Chance, I think, felt a responsibility to speak to his vast diversity we’ve seen over the years in sounds and flows. That resulted in a bit of a bloated and disjointed project. Something Chance projects always seem to have is a continuity despite their variety that seems to be absent here. Once the short coming are acknowledged there is some really great songs here with few missteps (although there are a few). Some more quality control, restraint and a concept to follow there are the makings of a possible top 10 of the year album here. My favorite moments are the nostalgic and 90’s R&B influences moments that sprinkle the album, a whole project with those as more a driving force could really be something special.

Proof: All Day Long (Feat. John Legend) / Zanies and Fools (Feat. Darius Scott & Nicki Minaj)

Dabin* - Wild Youth // Wild Youth (The Remixes) Genre: Electronic / Future Bass / Dance

Toronto multi-instrumentalist and electronic DJ Dabin returns with a sophomore album of more emotional and evocative electronic soundscapes. The melodic album flows smoothly through inspirational tracks of finding oneself coming to a climactic crescendo with the cinematic closer “Alive”.

Proof: In Flames (Feat. Lexi Norton) / Alive (Feat. RUNN) // Part-Time Lover (Crystal Skies Remix) Feat. Claire Ridgely / Alive (Trvecta Remix) Feat. RUNN

Dermot Kennedy* - Without Fear Genre: Pop / Soul

Irish singer Dermot Kennedy’s voice comes in like a freight train straight for your ear drum. He sings with such evocative passion and force it is quite a sound to behold. That’s not to say Without Fear is all potent bellowing. Dermot on his soulful debut here has plenty of softer, tender moments as well.

Proof: Moment’s Passed / Redemption

Foals - Part 2: Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Genre: Rock / Alternative

The second part of the English Rock bands 2-part album project this year is the louder and more aggressive sibling. The music is a bit less glossy and more gritty then it predecessor but still is quite refined in its ferociousness. I do prefer the more melodic first offering of the two but that doesn’t need to take away from how exhilarating this album is as well.

Proof: The Runner / Neptune

GoldLink - Diaspora Genre: Hip Hop / R&B

With his second album, DMV rapper GoldLink dove deeper into his African roots with increased Afro-inspired production and themes. Diaspora is a fusion dish of of East coast Hip Hop base, with 90’s R&B notes, a sprinkle of Jazz, a dash of DC house and intermixing of traditional African qualities. It’s quite a vibrant and varied plateful!

Proof: Zulu Screams (Feat. Feat. Maleek Berry & Babi Bourelly) / More (Feat. Lola Rae)

Goldroom - Plunge /\ Surface Genre: Electronic / House / Dance

Returning from a brief hiatus after his debut album, 2016’s West of the West, Goldroom sneaked in at the end of November with one of the years most fun house records. The wait was definitely worth it for Goldroom fans. Plunge /\ Surface has a sense of wonder, discovery and joy that I think was quite well timed.

Proof: Do You Feel It Now (Feat. Love & Alexa) / Just Like A Dream (Feat. Nikki Segal)

Georgia Maq - Pleaser Genre: Synth-Pop / Alternative

My late addition to my already completed list is this surprising and electrifying debut solo project from the lead singer of Melbourne punk/Alternative group Camp Cope. Just slipping in with an early release right before my cut off date (for my own sanity). This album is nothing like the sound of her band though. Instead Georgia Maq looked to artists like Robyn, LCD Soundsystem and Cut Copy for her solo venture with some delightfully delicious 80′s synth vibes. Pleaser is dark and atmospheric but not devoid of brittle emotion and angst.

Proof: Pleaser / Big Embarrassing Heart

Hozier* - Wasteland, Baby! Genre: Indie Pop / Soul / Folk

Years later, when looking back on Hozier’s career, we may look back at this album as a sort of turning point. The Irish singer through early EP’s and his debut album has always had a powerful form of soulful Folk music that moves people to many emotional states. But on this sophomore album Hozier seemed to figure something out. Incorporating a Motown feel into his music has unleashed it and his strong voice to a new level. Wasteland, Baby! Is a sentimental excursion through love, empowerment and hope.

Proof: Movement / Would That I

James Blake - Assume Form Genre: Progressive Pop / Electronic / Indie Pop

English producer and singer James Blake returns with his artful progressive form of pop music that only he can produce. Assume Form continues in his tradition of bending song structure and genres to his will to create powerful evocative landscapes to explore. The experimental artist keeps finding ways to push the boundaries while still making beautiful lush music to get lost in.

Proof: Barefoot in the Park (Feat. ROSALÍA) / Where’s The Catch? (Feat. Andre 3000)

Kevin Abstract - ARIZONA BABY Genre: Hip Hop

BROCKHAMPTON founding member drops off his third solo album which is a tender and impacting affair through the life of a figure in hip hop with a lot of hate sent to him, but a lot of love to send out. The openly gay rapper using this as a form of empowerment to let others who may be struggling know they have the power within themselves to make their life something of fulfillment.

Proof: Joyride / Mississippi

Kim Petras - TURN OFF THE LIGHT [Mixtape] Genre: Synth-Pop / House / Dance

Only a few months after dropping her debut album the new, exciting singer wants to keep us all guessing and elaborated on her Halloween EP from last year with this full mixtape. Her debut album is more Synth-Pop with some targeted EDM moments. This is a burst of haunting house music meant to get your heart rate pulsating and feet moving.

Proof: There Will Be Blood / Close Your Eyes

Mabel - High Expectations Genre: R&B / neo-Soul

British female R&B artists are having quite a moment right now. With the success of Jorja Smith, Ella Mai and RAYE last year to Sinead Harnett, Mahalia (it was seriously hard to take her off my list) and Mabel this year. Mabel has already had some hits from her 2017 mixtape Ivy to Roses, so this debute is quite a confident strut with tales of love, love lost and overcoming. The glossy production establishes a bouncy, beach vibe, probably influenced from her origins on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Her stellar song writing is really what takes the attention throughout as every track has an ability to establish a connection with the listener quite effortlessly.

Proof: Don’t Call Me Up / Mad Love

Maverick Sabre - When I Wake Up Genre: Pop / Soul

English/Irish singer Maverick Sabre returns with his third album that’s a unique and soulful jaunt. The 29 year old’s deep voice has a commanding and captivating effect on the listener throughout. The somewhat minimalist backing lets the potent voice and piercing song lyrics be the emotional driving force to great effect.

Proof: Slow Down (Feat. Jorja Smith) / Weakness

Rapsody - Eve Genre: Hip Hop

For her third album, Grammy nominated rapper Rapsody drops off quite a Tour de force of inspiration and empowerment. Every track is named after a black female icon that has influenced Rapsody. The North Carolina rapper’s lyrics flow and dense lyrics are top notch as always. The production has an increased levity to match the themes. Rapsody has gotten where she is from sheer will and strength within, now she's looking outward to inspirations to find her next step up the ladder.

Proof: Nina / Iman (Feat. SiR & JID)

The List:

Last One Out: Kim Petras - Clarity Genre: Synth-Pop / Electronic

The debut album from German singer Kim Petras was a long time coming and the build up was quite a slow burn. Since 2017 the 27 year old singer started one by one dropping pretty exciting one-off singles (none of which show up here). To our surprise her first official project was a surprised-dropped Halloween themed EP in 2018 (that, as seen in my Honorable Mentions above, was released this year as a full mixtape). Finally in early 2019 we get Kim’s first full length album and the wait was well worth it. Clarity is an electric and glossy affair of lust, self love and female empowerment. Kim is on quite a tear right now from this to her features on other artists projects that I don’t see slowing down anytime soon.

Proof: Icy / Got My Number / Do Me / Another One

35. 88rising - Head in the Clouds II Genre: R&B / Hip Hop

LA based collective 88rising began as mostly Asian-American rap artists. As they went in a more serious direction with their music and label they began acquiring production and R&B talent that has elevated the output to something to really admire. In the early stages I was a bit dismissive of the artists but the last three years I have increasingly been won over. With the success of Joji’s 2018 solo album the collective chose to lean heavier into the electro-R&B sound on their second compilation album that is paying great dividends here. Head in the Clouds II is filled with spacey tender songs that inspire and captivate. The lessons and progressions everyone in the collective are making adds to my excitement with each release.

Proof: Joji & GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE - Need Your Love / Jackson Wang & Higher Brother’s - Tequila Sunrise (Feat. AUGUST 08 & GoldLink) / RHYME SO - Just Used Music Again / NIKI - La La Lost You

34. Karen O* & Danger Mouse - Lux Prima Genre: Alternative / Indie Rock

Two of today’s icons collide on this collaboration album that probably should have happened years ago. Yeah Yeah Yeahs front singer Karen O has influenced so many of today’s alternative artists (especially women led ones), and it’s always a solid veteran karaoke bar move to put in “MAPS”. Meanwhile Danger Mouse has been a go-to producer in both hip hop and alternative and formed a few emblematic pairings on albums with MF Doom (as Danger Mask), CeeLo (as Gnarles Barkley) and James Mercer of The Shins (as Broken Bells). Together Karen and DM are a perfect pair. Karen is as potent as ever singing over a lush and intricate backdrops by the paws of Danger Mouse.

Proof: Lux Prima / Turn the Light / Woman / Redeemer

33. Little Simz - GREY Area Genre: Hip Hop

London rapper comes in swinging with her powerful third full length album. Her flow is so measured and confident and firing on all cylinders here with no wasted syllables or breaths on any verse along the project. The song subject matters dive into some pretty personal and touching territory letting the listener into some intimate thoughts. At 25, we are witnessing an artist really come into their own and it is an inspirational and beautiful thing.

Proof: Offense / Boss / Venom / Pressure (Feat. Little Dragon)

32. Shura* - forevher Genre: Synth-Pop

For her second album, Shura used the same 80’s nostalgic electronic pallet of her debut but this time a bit more slowed tempo with a layer of added sensuality. While her marvelous 2016 debut, Nothing’s Real, focused on the angst of growing into young adulthood, finding ones self and feeling comfortable in your own skin (as she initially struggled coming out publicly as a lesbian artist). On forevher, Shura focuses more intimately on her own relationship. Many of the songs being inspired by precise moments in the relationship with her current girlfriend, there is a noticeable narrowing of the scope. The result is an incredibly tender offering that allows us a glimpse into the UK Singer’s warm heart.

Proof: religion (u can lay your hands on me) / the stage / flyin’ / forever

31. A R I Z O N A - ASYLUM Genre: Synth-Pop

The New Jersey electro-pop band A R I Z O N A follows up their 2017 debut album nicely here. Maintaining their knack for writing catchy as hell hooks along enticing dance inducing electronic production. With features on both Don Diablo’s 2018 album Future and Avicii’s posthumous release, TIM, this year, the band’s notoriety seems to be on a steady incline.

Proof: Nostalgic / Find Someone / Freaking Out / Still Alive

30. VÉRITÉ - new skin Genre: Pop

Brooklyn based singer VÉRITÉ returns with her sophomore album aimed right for all of your feels at once. VÉRITÉ’s sound is understated and delicate, yet packed with raw and identifiable emotions. There is a progression as well from Somewhere in Between with a noticeable bit more comfort in moments where she can let loose. new skin, doesn’t reach out and scream for your attention, but it is a rewarding and sentimental ride for those that give it.

Proof: good for it / body in my bed / think of me / gone

29. Vampire Weekend - Father of the Bride Genre: Indie Rock / Alternative

Ezra Koenig and Vampire Weekend took their sweet time for their fifth album. Six years to be exact from 2013’s Modern Vampires of the City. Also in that time founding member Rostam left the group as a full time member (though still contributing to this album on a few songs). The time lapse and shifting of collaborators led to their most sprawling and experimental album to date. There are some swings that don’t quite connect but for the most part this is an exhilarating and unpredictable exploration by the band that is definitely worth the journey.

Proof: Harmony Hall / This Life / How Long? / Sympathy

28. LÉON - LÉON Genre: Pop / Soul

When I saw this was Swedish singer LÉON’s debut I had to google to make sure. It’s been awhile since LÉON first popped on my radar with her beautiful and sultry tunes, but those have been from three EPs. The wait was well worth it for this angelic record of pleasant pop bops, one after another. These tracks make themselves right at home in your subconscious; taking their shoes off and checking what’s in your fridge. LÉON’s voice itself has a gentle nature to it coupled with a raspy, sensuality that is enduring and soothing.

Proof: Lost Time / Falling / Hope Is A Heartache / You and I

27. MUNA - Save The World Genre: Synth-Pop

No sophomore slump for the American trio, MUNA here. Save The World is quite a refreshing progression from their tender 2017 debut. There’s a little more of a free feeling on this album that comes with increased confidence in their craft. The tracks are all incredibly catchy and easily stick with you well after first listen. “Stayway” is the shining jewel on the album and one of my most favorite tracks of 2019.

Proof: Number One Fan / Stayaway / Never / Hands Off

26. Foals - Part 1: Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost / Part 1: Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost (Remixes) Genre: Rock / Alternative

The 1st part of English rock band’s 2-album project comes in like a Indy Car full speed for subconcious. The unique melding if Synth based beats and guitar driven grooves creates an enticing energetic sound you can get lost in. Part 2 was a big more reaching and aggressive, where Part 1 had more of a basis track to track that I felt made it the stronger outputting of the two.

Proof: Exits / White Onions / In Degrees / On The Luna // In Degrees (Purple Disco Machine Remix) / Syrups (Vincent Taurelle Remix) / Exits (Lawrence Hart and Little Clubs Remix) / Exits (George FitzGerald Remix)

25. Denzel Curry - ZUU Genre: Hip Hop

Denzel Curry has always had promise to me with his frantic delivery. There were meaningful lyrics there and more focused passion than most of his peers his age in hip hop. The trick was channeling that boiling emotion for the rapper, that he struggled with early. Last year’s TA13OO was the first hint the 24 year old was starting to get this balance in his music. Only ten months later we see a fully formed Denzel with the directed missile that is ZUU. There aren’t many wasted moments here as Denzel focuses on what he needs to say and the most effective way to say it. All the while also making track after track meant to be played at the loudest decibel possible; that all smack the concrete with aggression and no remorse.

Proof: ZUU / RICKY / BIRDZ (Feat. Rick Ross) / CAROLMART (Feat. Ice Billion Berg)

24. Tei Shi - La Linda Genre: R&B / Soul

For those of us following Tei Shi’s career since her early EP days there is a definite increase in her confidence as an artist on this sophomore album. The Argentina-born Colombian artist’s beautiful melodies flow at their own pace with a delicate precision and grace. Tei Shi’s low lit sounds lives in a mellow and assured range making the pockets where she lifts her voice that much more impacting. There’s both a layer of innocence and care as well as a level of empowerment and self-assured sex appeal in her vocals that are impossible to not get enthralled with.

Proof: Alone in the Universe / Even If It Hurts (Feat. Blood Orange) / When He’s Done / A Kiss Goodbye

23. Sigrid - Sucker Punch Genre: Pop

23 year old Norwegian singer Sigrid burst on the scene with her successful debut EP in 2017, and it’s been an effective upward trajectory since. Another EP came out in 2018 before this marvelous debut album. Sucker Punch packs quite a punch of delightfully infectious and identifiable jams. There is an ease to the charismatic mood of this album that shows how genuine Sigrid is with every song written. This young singer has some definite longevity ahead of her in the pop world.

Proof: Basic / Strangers / Don’t Feel Like Crying / Don’t Kill My Vibe

22. Charli XCX - Charli Genre: Synth-Pop / Electronic

After her sophomore album, 2014’s Sucker, English singer Charli XCX stated she felt a bit restricted in her solo career and decided to break out of the standard production method. A whole album was made but leaked online and Charli decided to scrap the project and began tinkering with her music more. During this period first came the 2016 collaboration EP with the producer SOPHIE, Vroom Vroom. Then in 2017 came two mixtapes. It was these two mixtapes Charli started realizing how she can warp and bend music to her will. Her production became more of a unique melding of dancey Synth-Pop with abrasive Electronic sounds. Her hooks were still top notch but the song structure began to become more of a free flowing organism then a structured framework. Taking what she learned from SOPHIE, and the two mixtapes into her third album, Charli is a project of abundance and unfiltered passion. The feelings are real and human but are focused into a diamond and refracted out into numerous directions. The description sounds chaotic but there still is a very controlled nature to the chaos of this vibrant pop. Charli has found a way to manipulate pop music to contort like a complicated yoga stance. She's Neo from The Matrix. I suggest just plugging in and letting the complex machine she built take you away.

Proof: Gone (w/ Christine and the Queens) / Blame It On Your Love (Feat. Lizzo) / Silver Cross / February 2017 (Feat. Clairo & Yaeji)

21. Bishop Briggs - CHAMPION Genre: R&B / Pop / Soul

Less than 18 months after her roaring debut album, British singer Bishop Briggs is back with her sophomore effort. CHAMPION is a bit more subdued than last year’s Church of Scars, but still the centerpiece is the powerful vocals. My only critique is that I feel the short timeline of this project when I listen. I don’t know the reason for such a short turn around, but some of the songs don’t feel as fleshed out as its predecessor that was years in the making. Despite that critique, this is still a beautiful and authoritative collection of power ballads meant to inspire and embolden.

Proof: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? / CHAMPION (Feat. Tom Morello) / LONELY / WILD

20. Lizzo - Cuz I Love You Genre: R&B / Hip Hop

Detroit singer/rapper Lizzo has been around a few years now, but her third album was definitely her break out to insurmountable success and admiration. Songs like “Coconut Oil”, “Good As Hell” and “Water Me” (added on the deluxe version of this album) would get some attention, especially after featured on television shows. But in 2019 the stars aligned for Lizzo’s take over. Despite the increase in notoriety (to now include the backlash from people tired of her) let’s not overshadow that this music and its message is worthy of the attention. Lizzo’s dramatic and vibrant mixture of R&B, Hip Hop, Soul, Jazz, Funk and Gospel wrapped in a fast paced train with the breaks cut is quite the exhilarating experience. This coupled with her unapologetic message of self love and respect created quite the energetic Molotov cocktail for her to throw in our ears and get our bodies up and moving. Those that may be tired of her, well either learn to ignore or deal with it, because Lizzo is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Proof: Cuz I Love You / Jerome / Tempo (Feat. Missy Elliott) / Water Me

19. Tory Lanez - Chixtape 5 [Mixtape] Genre: R&B / Hip Hop

Having now established himself in the industry with three albums. Tory decided to take a trip back to his beginnings with this album/mixtape drop. Early in his career, Tory had four Chixtape mixtapes that were all influenced by the late 90’s/early 2000’s R&B Tory was raised on. For the fifth entry, and first since he has become established, Tory took this to a whole new level not only directly sampling classics from that timeline but also featuring the artists themselves. The result is a blast of nostalgia and sexy-ass grooves that I dare your hips to stay still the whole hour. I haven’t heard a lot of Tory’s early catalog but since his debut album this is solidly my favorite project by the Canadian Singer. The nostalgia is a bit of a crutch but that doesn’t make this project any less successful or enjoyable. I am squarely in the wheelhouse of who this is made for so there is a bias here but this was probably my most fun first listening experience of the year.

Proof: The Trade (Feat. Jagged Edge & Jermaine Dupri) / Beauty in the Benz (Feat. Snoop Dogg) / Still Waiting (Feat. Trey Songz) / If You Gotta… (Feat. Fabolous)

18. Mark Ronson - Late Night Feelings Genre: R&B / Pop

2015’s Uptown Special with the mega-hit “Uptown Funk” was a whirlwind for Mark Ronson’s career as a solo artist. Already a prolific producer behind the boards of some of the most important albums over the last 15 years, Ronson’s solo career has been a bit under the radar until 2015. Which is why the about-face from glitz and abundance to a tender collection of songs about heartbreak is a bit of a surprise. But not a surprise I am mad about. The infectious, dancey funk we know from Ronson is still very much present on Late Night Feelings, but wrapped in a blanket of anguish only broken love can bring. Despite it’s more subtle and depressing themes, Ronson has stated this is the solo album he has spent the most time creating and that level of care is very apparent.

Proof: Late Night Feelings (Feat Lykke Li) / Find U Again (Feat. Camila Cabello) / Pieces Of Us (Feat. King Princess) / Why Hide (Feat. Diana Gordon)

17. Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell! Genre: Pop / Soul

My long time admiration for Lana’s artistry and craft are well documented on here. Happening on her homemade “Video Games” video on YouTube was one of the catalysts to creating this blog. A memory I will always cherish is seeing her in 2011 at the Troubadour in Hollywood when she only had about 6 songs on YouTube to sing. Now, six albums later her music still is some of the most moving and affecting out there for me. Norman Fucking Rockwell! Is probably Lana’s most consistent and assured record since Ultraviolence. Lyrics wise this may be her most crisp ever.

Proof: Venice Bitch / Fuck it I love you / The greatest / Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it

16. Seven Lions* - Ophelia Volume 1 Genre: Electronic / Trance / Dance

Prolific electronic producer Seven Lions has long been one of my favorite artists. 2018 and 2019 have been excitingly very busy years for the Californian DJ/Producer. Starting his own label Ophelia Records in 2018, 7L has used it as an opportunity to seek out great up and coming electronic artists like Crystal Skies, Jason Ross, MitiS, Trivecta, Wooli and others as well as collaborate with other greats in the game such as Above and Beyond, Dabin, SLANDER, NGHTMRE and Gryffin. Ophelia Volume 1 is a collection of many of the singles released by 7L over the last two years and is quite the gripping burst of excitement and emotions. This compilation album shows off what is 7L’s best musical attributes. His diversity in sound, effortlessly switching between many subgenres, including Trance, Future Bass, Dubstep, Drum and Bass, from song to song, sometimes making a switch within a single song. The other aspect is 7L’s deliberate and effective use of dead space to create a moment of floating before a bellowing drops knocks your ass back down to earth. His pockets of tranquility make these tracks more living and breathing forms of passion and sentiment than normally associated with the mechanical genre.

Proof: Start Again (Feat. Fiora) / Ocean (w/ Jason Foss Feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn) / First Time (w/ SLANDER & Dabin Feat. Dylan Matthew) / Dreamin’ (Feat. Fiora) // Bonus: See The End (w/ Above & Beyond Feat. Opposite The Other)

15. Gallant - Sweet Insomnia Genre: alt-R&B / Soul

The soulful and sultry vocals of Gallant return with another steamy alt-R&B soiree. The overall vibe is a bit more mellow than his thunderous 2016 debut Ology. The main driving force is still the forceful emotion driven vocals from the American singer. R&B has been a genre pulled into various directions over the last 8 or so years, sometimes for good, sometimes at it’s detriment. Gallant and his potent falsetto is a nostalgic artist in 2019 pointing to the late 90’s, early 2000’s neo-soul movement. Fans of artists like Musiq Soulchild, Maxwell, Raheem Devaughn and of course D’Angelo will get some warm feelings from Gallant’s seductive grooves.

Proof: Crimes / Hurt / Compromise (Feat. Sabrina Claudio) / Céline

14. G Flip - About Us Genre: Pop

Melbourne multi-instrumentalist and singer Georgia Flipo, or G-Flip, introduces herself with this tender and moving debut. About Us is sort of an autobiographical story about Georgia and her girlfriend over a five year span that includes a break up and eventually make up. Georgia’s vocals are both commanding and approachable. The song writing is effortlessly relatable and potent in the life of love. Georgia would write most of the instrument riffs and have others play it during recording but the most unsung hero is her command of the instrument she first learn and played herself; the drums. The emotional impact and intensity of these songs all get magnified in the later stages when Georgia grabs the sticks and begins going to town. About Us is both a subtle piece of pop yet also a cinematic and emotionally captivating one.

Proof: Lover / I Am Not Afraid / Morning / About You

13. Becky Hill - Get To Know Genre: Synth-Pop / Electronic / Dance

After being a semi-finalist on The Voice UK, the potent and soulful vocals of UK singer Becky Hill has become a go-to feature in the European house world. Becky’s commanding voice is a perfect compliment to house production to not be overpowered and bring a level of vivacity and vitality to the composition. Get To Know is a compilation of those features and one-off singles from the last three years to get more people familiar with Becky as she takes more creative control of her solo career. I’m expecting much more to come from the singer in 2020; so keep an eye and both ears out.

12. BANKS - III Genre: alt-R&B / Pop

On her third album, singer BANKS is showing off an impressive increase in prowess and courage in her music. Although, I still really enjoyed BANKS sophomore album The Altar, there were some growing pains visible in it. III on the other hand comes out much more competent, coherent and confident. The noticeable addition of Hudson Mohawke’s production and influence is one of the most noticeable additions. His powerful distorted synthed-out drums gives quite a thunderous backdrop for BANKS sultry vocals to sway back and forth through. The song writing has notably continued to get even better for someone that already had quite the skill at. I’ve followed BANKS since she only had a couple songs out on SoundCloud and the journey has been quite a rewarding one for us fans.

11. Gryffin* - Gravity Genre: Electronic / Dance

Success has come rapidly for Gryffin, releasing his first original song only four years ago. Despite that short time, there is a level of sophistication to Gryffin’s blending of house and pop music that feels like the work of a veteran. It helps he has really filled up his phone contacts with some of today’s top Electronic producers and rising pop singers to collaborate with. Gryffin’s debut is quite a reflective and illuminating galaxy of deep emotions and expression. Every song on Gravity has identifiable passion and sentiments while enclosed in a glitzy exterior; feelings with strobe lights. It’s been over two years since the first song from this album “Nobody Compares to You” was released showing Gryffin has the ability to make us really feel emotions while also bust out dancing. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go have a good cry in the club.

10. Maggie Rogers - Heard It In A Past Life Genre: Pop

A chance encounter with Pharrell that went viral was what started Maggie’s career, but she took her time with this debut to make sure that one video wasn’t all that defines it. Heard It In A Past Life is a subtle flex of the new singer’s musical dexterity. On the surface the tracks all flow at a mellow cohesive pace. Maggie’s soft and sensual vocals are the first thing you appreciate when listening. When you give a little deeper of a dive you realize the strong themes Maggie is conveying as well as a sophisticated diversity in her sound that’s more than originally meets the ear.

Proof: Give A Little / The Knife / Alaska / Say It / On + Off // Bonus: Love You For A Long Time

9. Nick Murphy - Run Fast Sleep Naked Genre: Indie Pop / Electronic

On his second release (first full length album) since changing his name from Chet Faker to his real name Nick Murphy, the Australian artist has some new tricks up his sleeve. Run Fast Sleep Naked is a more expansive sound then his Chet Faker beginnings and we are all quite rewarded by it. The subtle Synth-Indie pop melding is still present. But there always was a form of restraint in his early work that Nick has seemed to let go more of here allowing his emotion to burst out at key moments a bit unfiltered and untethered.

Proof: Harry Takes Drugs On The Weekend / Sanity / Yeah I Care / Never No / Dangerous

8. Madeon - Good Faith Genre: Electronic / Synth-Pop / Dance

2019 has been an interesting year of growth for EDM. With artists like Big Wild, ILLENIUM, Goldroom, GRiZ, Flux Pavilion and others showing some added depth, discovery and diversity in their sounds. That is continued here with Madeon’s four years in the making follow up to his 2015 debut album Adventure. His first album was quite a glorious introduction but very steeped in the bold and at times lumbering mechanical nature of Electronic music, but with this follow up there is a dramatic divergence. Good Faith is quite a romp through R&B, Gospel and Funk influenced synth wonderlands meant to inspire souls and entice movement. The French producer created a lush world to wonder around, despite being Electronic music, that is devoid of any plasticity for organic and visual expression. The closing two minutes are completely devoid of vocals, yet still packs a powerful emotional punch, leaving you wanting to instantly hit replay.

7. Tyler, The Creator - IGOR Genre: alt-R&B / Hip Hop

After a frustrating start to his career I saw some of the promise in Tyler, The Creator come to life on his 2015 third album Cherry Bomb. By 2017 Tyler had found his sweet spot with the marvelous Flower Boy. Being someone always eager to learn and grow on his craft, Tyler didn’t remain in that sweet spot, instead abruptly left it in his rearview mirror for his follow up in the daring IGOR. Long gone are the low-fi, abrasive hip hop vernacular of Bastard, Goblin and Wolf here. Instead, Tyler created a unique and colliding world of R&B, Hip Hop, Funk and Synth-Pop. Further showing his evolution Tyler tells a heartfelt story across the album of a man, Tyler, dating another man, who’s also dating his ex-girlfriend. When Tyler tells his feelings for his lover, which results in him starting to drift back to his ex-girlfriend, leading to heartbreak for Tyler. The character Igor represents the negative tendencies of Tyler, as his heart is broken and begins to take over throughout the album’s duration. Coming out the other side the album ends with sadness, but still with a level of hope that I’m sure anybody can relate to who’s had their heart broken.

6. SebastiAn - Thirst Genre: Electronic / Synth-Pop

8 years after his debut album, the French producer is ready to step out from the background again with this thrilling collection of bold electronic pop. Known best to the general for working with Frank Ocean on his Endless album (and being the voice on “Facebook Story” on Blonde), SebastiAn has also worked extensively with Daft Punk, Kavinsky, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Beastie Boys, Block Party and others over the years. Thirst is a wild ride in a dark dystopian pop landscape that has a tough exterior but a tender interior. The features from pop and R&B are expertly placed among the distorted and thunderous production. The industrial feel may seem a bit artificial at first, but there is an organic heartbeat under the mechanical exoskeleton worth exploring.

5. Khalid - Free Spirit Genre: Pop / R&B / Soul

I gushed on both my last two year lists about Khalid with his debut album and last year’s EP; all that is still very much relevant in 2019. Khalid is one of today’s top young talents. His evocative voice can fit into so many different environments. Straight Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Country, EDM, Rock, Khalid’s voice is quite the emotive chameleon. His own albums are a bit more straightforward pop and R&B that with every release keeps getting more polished and evolved with his songwriting. Already at 21 the singer has become a go-to for album features and movie soundtracks; I don’t expect this to change for quite some time.

Proof: Better / Talk / Right Back / Outta My Head (w/ John Mayer) / Twenty One

4. Big Wild - Superdream Genre: Synth-Pop / Electronic / Dance

To many fans of the EDM scene Big Wild has been well known before his debut album dropped. The producer was one the first signees to ODESZA’s label after dropping multiple great remixes. His debut EP last year only increased his notoriety. What we didn’t know if he had a different plan for his sound that would be introduced to the world on this sneaky debut full length. Superdream still has plenty of his EDM beginnings throughout but interwoven in a much more complex package then we anticipated. Notes of 70’s/80’s pop to 90’s R&B make a surprisingly profound presence dancing through the intersecting synths and drums. Big Wild sings more than he ever has in a soft hushed tone that glides his bold production so smoothly. The Electronic genre is in the middle of quite a renaissance currently and yet more creative artists like Big Wild keep showing up and taking the sound to new directions we haven’t seen before.

Proof: Joypunks / 6’s to 9’s (Feat. Rationale) / No Words / Maker / She Makes Magic

3. ILLENIUM* - ASCEND Genre: Electronic / Future Bass / Dance

Denver DJ ILLENIUM found quite a sweet spot on his 2017 sophomore album, Awake, with his euphoric electronic music. Anybody who claims EDM is all plasticity without emotion that other music genres can evoke, I dare you to listen to Awake and not feel the raw human emotion bursting with every dramatic drop. However, Nicolas Miller was not complacent and has expanded his sound in 2019. Taking some inspiration no doubt from the late great Avicii, there’s plenty of experimenting with genres both externally and internally to the EDM landscape. With great ease, effort care and skill the tracks maneuver from Pop/Future Bass to House to Trance, to R&B to Country/Rock to Dubstep. The emotions continue to be the driver with tracks about love, heartbreak, feeling lost and even Miller’s opening up about his past issues with drug abuse. The Jon Bellion assisted “Good Things Fall Apart” and Chainsmokers partnered “Takeaway” are the tracks most people go in knowing, but powerful tracks like the lightning bolt opener “Hold On” to the Rock/Dubstep powerhouse of “Pray” to the R&B Ear drum slapper that's “Gorgeous” steal the listeners attention through this whirlwind of melodic feels.

2. Nilüfer Yanya* - Miss Universe Genre: Indie Rock / Alternative / R&B

It could be too easy to take Nilüfer Yanya’s sensual music for granted, but those that pay close attention are very much rewarded. Her subtle and mellow melodies can slip into the background but by the time her infectious choruses hit you may find your shoulders swaying and feet tapping without thinking about it. The UK Born new artist has such an effortless feel to her genre melding sound of soul and indie pop. Her unique, raspy voice among the groovy, plucky guitar riffs has an ability to relay emotions while also keeping a veil of mystery. Miss Universe is probably 2019’s most consistent record, no song is out of place in this whole strong debut album.

1. Labrinth - Imagination & the Misfit Kid Genre: Pop / alt-R&B

Sometimes it takes some time to find your comfortably and inspiration. English singer Labrinth’s debut album was released over seven years ago. In the time since the powerful voice, proficient productions or potent pen of the singer would pop up here and there with one-off singles, song features ("Losers” with The Weeknd off Beauty Behind The Madness was one great one), production or writer credits. 2019 though was quite the change in pace. The marathon of a year started with forming the supergroup and dropping the debut album of LSD with Sia and Diplo. Labrinth then was the lead composer on the music score for one of the year's best new shows on HBO’s “Euphoria”. This all was cultivated with this magnificent and expressive sophomore effort. Imagination & the Misfit Kid is a layered project of the many influences Labrinth has picked up over his lifetime packaged together in something innovative yet also familiar. On the surface the music is pretty crowd pleasing pop but when dissected more there's rich notes of music genres colliding including R&B, Gospel, Blues, UK Hip Hop and Electronic ingredients. The production is its own cunning beast, at times it is muted and let’s the great voice of Labrinth take the reins, only to come thundering in to smack you in the temple. There’s an obvious cinematic theme carried through in the songs that is driven home with the song titles and short skits. Labrinth is tapping into your ears while making a visual art piece. One you’re meant to close your eyes and let the melodies and lyrics help you visualize. “Can’t tell me the world don’t mind, a miracle.”

I Have To

Based On: The 100 (season 4)

Characters: Reader, Clarke, Bellamy, Jaha

Warnings: Language, Angst, Injury, Death, Season 4 Spoilers

Word Count: 500

You opened your eyes, confused as your vision came into focus- last thing you remembered you had been waiting for Bellamy to sneak back out of the arena in Polis.

You started to panic as you realized that you didn’t know where you were. You quickly sat up, looking around at your unfamiliar surroundings. The room was cold and concrete, it was filled with rows of bunk beds, but except for you the room appeared vacant. You slowly walked to the door, unsure what was awaiting you outside.

You opened the door, peering outside into a long hallway filled with doors. Your eyes widened as you saw Bellamy, “Bell?” You ran to him and he pulled you into a hug, “What the hell’s going on? Where are we?”

“We’re in the bunker-”

You shook your head, “But the fight in Polis-”

“I’m not sure what happened, I just woke up here,” Bellamy explained.

Suddenly one of the doors a few feet down the hall opened, Bellamy instincticly pushed you behind him. His hand reaching for his gun. Jaha walked out into the hallway and you and Bellamy relaxed a little, Bellamy’s hand moving away from his hip.

“Y/N, Bellamy, I’m glad you’re awake. Clarke and I will fill you in,” Jaha gestured for the two of you to follow him into the room.

The two of you exchanged confused looks before walking into the room Jaha had disappeared into.

You furrowed your brows as you walked inside, “What’s going on? Did Octavia win?”

Clarke looked at Bellamy with pity in her eyes, “I’m not sure,”

“What do you mean you’re not sure?” Bellamy snapped.

“We got as many of our people down here as we could, then we closed the doors,” Jaha said simply.

“You what?” You fumed as you stared daggers at Clarke and Jaha.

Bellamy face shifted from confusion to rage, “Octavia was going to win, now she’s going to die up there!” Bellamy yelled taking a step towards Clarke The two guards standing behind her quickly stepped in front of her protectively , pulling out their stun sticks.

“We didn’t know that for sure Bellamy, we couldn’t take any chances,” Clarke defended.

“Open the door,” Bellamy demanded.

Jaha shook his head, “We can’t to that Bellamy. If we open that door, we all die,” He explained calmly.

“If we don’t open that door, Octavia dies,” Bellamy seethed through gritted teeth.

Clarke gave Bellamy another pitiful look, “We can’t open the doors,”

You scoffed, staring at Clarke with a look of disgust on your face, “What the hell are you doing Clarke?”

“What I have to,” she said simply, as if it gave her all the validation she needed to sentence the thousands of people outside to death.

“No, Clarke,” you shook your head, “What you did at Mount Weather and in the City of Light, that you did to survive. Clarke, this is just a genocide,”

“Y/N, if I open that door they will kill us,”

“And whose fault is that?” You snapped, “All that anger and fighting, that’s on you Clarke, but if we don’t open that door then we kill them. There are children up there, Clarke. Innocent people that don’t deserve to die,” You were disgusted by Jaha and Clarke’s acceptance with letting so many people die.

Clarke only winced sadly at your words, staying silent.

“Don’t do this Clarke,” you pleaded, “We have to stop this cycle of killing,”

Clarke hesitated, “No,” She answered coldly as she swallowed her guilt. In her mind, this was the only way she knew how to save her people.

“Clarke, if you don’t open that door, I will,” Bellamy said dangerously. He looked between the gaurds, sizing them up for a fight.

Jaha nodded to the guards and their stun sticks lit up with electricity.Bellamy ignored it. “Get out of the way, or I’ll move you myself,” Bellamy warned. They stood their ground.

Bellamy reeled back, sending a fist into the first gaurd’s face. You quickly pulled your gun out of your waistband, pointing it at the other gaurd. The gaurd that Bellamy hit stumbled back, but only for a moment, before he lunged back at Bellamy, shocking him. Bellamy fell to the floor groaning in pain from the electricity still coursing through his body.

“Bellamy!” You yelled, dropping onto your knees to see if he was okay. Before you could turn back around, you felt a shock of electricity through your body. You fell to the ground whimpering in pain next to Bellamy.

Clarke sighed, looking down at the two of you sadly, “I’m sorry, I’m just doing what I have to do,”

Bludgers Can Do Good

A/N: This story is for Blackinnon Fest 2022. Any constructive criticism from the readers is welcome.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Wizarding World. JK Rowling does.

Warning: Mild swearing

Prompt no. 25- Healing injuries

*******************************************

"McKinnon's sent the to Meadows who sends quaffle through the hoop, Flint's gone tumblin' and the Gryffins are in favour by seventy-fifty"

Murphy McNully announced.

"Uh-oh, Dobbin's aimin' the blugder for her, CAREFUL MCKINNON! Oh, looks like Potter and Quigley've seen snitch and are on for it. An' Black brilliantly saves of the blugder and aims it for uhhh.... that-that Slytherin chaser whose name I forgot."

"Its Jonathan Sloper McNully."

Professor McGonagall's stern voice boomed through the megaphone.

"Uh yes professor, sorry professor. Anyway, Oh SHIT-

" McNully!"

"-McKinnon's got hit straight in the skull by Dobbin's blugder. BLOODY CHEATER, FILTHY SCUM, SON OF A B-

" MCNULLY!"

"And finally Potter's caught the snitch and Gryffindor wins against Slytherin with 220 points." McNully said all in one breath, fuming in rage at that slimy Slytherin, Dobbin, for hitting his fellow Gryffindor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

All Sirius Black saw while beating off blugders his fellow teammates was Marlene McKinnon's body slowly falling of her broom and her best friend, Dorcas Meadows, catching her dropping the quaffle. As soon he regained his composure he shoved his beaters' bat in James's hand and rushed to Marlene and Dorcas. He went along with a few other students to the Hospital Wing.

He heard McGonagall and Madame Pomfrey's voices.

"Poppy, how long will she be out?"

"I honestly don't know Minerva. But she should be awake by tomorrow."

"Hmm.. "

--------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Madame Pomfrey, only 6 people were allowed in Hospital Wing at a time; which is why Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans and Dorcas Meadows were sitting together surrounding Marlene's bed. James, for once, was not trying to ask Lily out while sitting in the same room with her and was talking in hushed whispers with Remus and Peter. Lily was doing the same with Dorcas. Sirius was looking, staring intently at Marlene. She was looking so pale, yet so beautiful. Ever since the end of their fifth year he had developed a crush on Marlene, over the summer the crush turned into love. Yes, he, Sirius Black, the badass bad boy marauder, who had slept with almost all girls in his year, a few from below and above as well, who wanted to be a bachelor forever, was in love. The only words coming into his mind seeing her lying on the hospital bed were, I love you.

"Out now, dinner time, out out. You can see her tomorrow. Go, get out!"

Madame Pomfrey's voice brought him out of his reverie. He walked out slowly along with the others.

-------------------------------------------------------------------Sirius Black usually had an appetite of twenty humans and ate like a pig. But today, no, not today. He moved his peas from left to right, right to left and his potatoes went cold from being left alone.

The other marauders had enough sense to leave him alone without pestering.

Dinner was finished like that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius tossed and turned continuously. The continuous rustling sound of blankets made sure no one slept.

Around 2 am, though, everyone had enough. James shoved his invisibility cloak in Sirius's hand, Remus led him out to the dorm door. Peter led him to the common room and Frank Longbottom, the only non-marauder boy in their dorm, went outside with him upto the Fat Lady's portrait and threatened her with a knife so that she lets Sirius Black come and go as he pleased for that week.

Finally, soft snores of four boys filled the sixth years boys dormitory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius smiled to himself as he walked through the hallways of Hogwarts to get to the Hospital Wing.

That was the day he decided he had the bestest best friends and bestest best dorm mate in the whole entire universe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

He quietly walked into the Hospital Wing and sat in the chair next to Marlene's bed. He saw the injuries and started quietly whispering healing spells that removed all the scars and healed all the injuries.

"S-siri..."

His eyes widened.

"Marlene" he breathed in relief.

She was muttering in her sleep.

"I-i love...."

"I-i love you...."

He took a little risk, after all what's life without risk? Right?

"Rennervate"

Marlene's eyes opened and she sat up slowly and looked around, and as if she looked past Sirius.

For a moment he was confused. Then he understood and pulled off the invisibility cloak. Marlene looked like as if she wanted to scream in fear. Sirius clamped his hand over her mouth and put his finger on his lips to tell her to be quiet.

As soon he felt her mouth close he released his hand.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. "What do you remember last?"

"Our Quidditch game, obviously. Did we win?

"Do you remember what happened after it? And yes we did win."

"Lovely. And, ummm.. I think I got hit by a bludger."

"Yes you did."

"You still didn't answer my question." Marlene pointed out.

"Well I came to see you. Is that a problem?"

"As much as I like your kind gesture it is after curfew." she replied looking at the clock.

"Yeah, so what? I break out after curfew a lot of times." he rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, you got to ask me a question, so, I'm asking you a question now."

"Fine, I guess."

"May I ask what you meant by, and I quote 'Siri I love you'?

"What!? How the hell did you hear that?!"

"I was healing you and you mumbled that."

"Healing? Isn't that Madame Pomfrey's job?"

"Yes but I know some healing spells better than her."

"Oh. I see."

"Weren't you you going to answer my question?

"I-well-I there is no reason to hide it from you now that you have heard it. Look I have been having these feelings for you since 4th year and over-over 5th year these feelings have developed into love." with each word her face turned more and more red. "So you see I really love you but I don't want that to affect our friendship with these feelings so-"

Sirius placed a chaste kiss on Marlene's lips.

"Siri... what..?"she looked speechless.

"Look, Marlene, I've had a crush on you since the end of our fifth year and over the summer I realised it was actually love. I was looking for a chance to tell you but I was so sure that you didn't feel the same way about me I started doubting. But now," he's smirked, "it looks like you've been having feelings for me for a longer time."

This time the kiss was initiated by Marlene.

--------------------------------------------------------------------"Black!" Madame Pomfrey's voice made them jump apart.

"What do you think you are doing? Didn't I tell you to come back tomorrow?"

"Madame Pomfrey," Sirius said putting up his most innocent expression," when you told that it was 8 pm and according to the rules after 12 pm is a new day. Now it being 2:30 a.m. technically it is the next day."

"I give up!" she sighed "They don't pay me enough for this." she added under her breath.

"Ms. McKinnon for Merlin's sake you got hit by a bludger in the skull you need rest!"she said to Marlene.

"I was getting rest madame. I was sleeping and woke up just now."

Madame Pomfrey closed her eyes and said after a while.

"Mr. Black go out from my Hospital Wing and I should not see you till after 7:00 a.m. in the morning. Understood?"

"Yes Madame Pomfrey."

"And Ms. McKinnon I am going to give you a sleeping draught and you are to sleep till after 7:00 a.m. in the morning. Do you understand?

"Yes Madame Pomfrey." Marlene said. "Madame, can I just ask her one last question before I go? Please..." Sirius said giving her his best puppy dog eyes.

"Oh fine Mr Black. But only one minute, mind you I'm giving only one minute."

Madame Pomfrey left the room

"Marlene, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course I will be. I'd be honoured." "Thanks," he smirked," I wouldn't have taken a no as an answer anyway."

Marlene rolled her eyes.

"Bye Siri."

"Bye Marls and Poppy."

"Black!"

But Siri didn't hear it because he was too busy thinking what he should do to please Marls on their first date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wow! And all that happened because of a Blugder?"

"You know Wormtail, when you say it like that, I can't help but say that Bludgers can do some good. Right Prongs?"

"Too right Moony, too right."

" I think it happened because of Dobbin. Even though I am not a marauder I think you should thank him your 'marauder' way.

"Exactly Frank. For suggesting that, me, Prongs, Wormtail and Moony invite you join us in this prank."

"I'd be honored, mate."

The 100 and Hogwarts Houses: secondary house edition

I closed anons, which is how i’ve been writing my posts for the last three years, so I had the urge to just say something without prompting. So I am.

I’ve separated The 100 characters into houses before, but I saw a post with house mottos and it made me think how most of the characters are more complex than belonging to one house and should be marked with a secondary. So that’s what I’m doing. Combined houses. Going in.

Bellamy: gryffinpuff. Let the debate end on whether he’s gryffindor or hufflepuff. he’s clearly both. even split.

Clarke: slythergryff. easy. no one so noble. no one so sneaky.

Raven: ravenslyth. make it go boom is right.

Murphy: slythergryff. no one else has a sense of justice like him. you can’t pull the wool over his eyes.

Octavia: gryffin--slyth? can we switch the parts around to show that gryffindor is dominant?

Monty: ravenpuff. easy

Harper: gryffinpuff

Jasper: double gryffindor

Miller: slythergryff

Emori: slytherpuff

Echo: huffleslyth. hufflepuff dominant.

Abby: ravendor

Marcus: huffleclaw

Indra: huffledor

Madi: gryffinpuff? or double gryffindor.

Maya: gryffinpuff

Roan: gryffinslyth

Lxa: slythergryff

Dante: hufflegryff

Diyoza: gryffinslyth

Shaw: ravenpuff

McCreary: slythergryff

Kara Cooper: slythergryff

Gaia: huffleclaw

Jaha: slytherclaw

Wells: hufflegryff

Lincoln: hufflegryff

that’s it for now. i probably forgot some because there are a lot of characters. if i forgot your fave i am sorry

Close Your Eyes

Based On: The 100

Characters: Reader x Bellamy, Murphy, Jasper, Octavia, Monroe

Warnings: Tourture, Guns, Murder, Injures, Language, Angst

Word Count: 2000 (sorry, i got a little carried away with this one)

Part 2

You sighed tiredly, trying to keep your eyes open for grounders at the fence line. You had been at your post keeping watch since yesterday morning. Bellamy had tried multiple times to convince you to take a break and rest for a while, but you had refused. After all, you were the best shot in camp. And as much as Bellamy disagreed with you, you wouldn't let him do anything about it.

Although you would never admit it to Bellamy, you were beginning to feel the effects of not sleeping for more than 24 hours.

You glanced back longingly towards the dropship, if you could just sneak inside you might be able to catch a few hours of shuteye.

You shook your head at the thought, as much as you’d like to, you couldn't just leave your post open, that would leave everyone else open for an attack.

Suddenly, by some miracle, Monroe walked by. "Monroe!" You waved her over, “Hey, do you think you could keep watch for a few minutes for me?"

"Oh, course Y/N," she smiled and nodded, "You deserve it, you've been up there long enough,"

You smiled back, "I won't be long, thank you so much!" You handed her the gun and switched places with her, "Oh, Monroe! Please don't tell Bell, I don't need him telling me 'I told you so'."

Monroe smiled as she nodded and you thanked her again as you walked back to the dropship, making sure no one (especially Bellamy) saw you. You climbed up the ladder, immediately laying down on the cool metal floor and letting your exhaustion take over.

You snapped awake, "Crap, how long was I out?" You muttered to yourself.

"About five hours," you jumped when you got a response.

"Jeez, Jasper! Don't scare me like that, I didn't know you were in here,"

Jasper put his hands up in defense, "Sorry, I’m just heading down to get some food. You want any?” Jasper offered as he walked over to the ladder. You forgot about his question as you remembered that Monroe was still keeping watch for you.

“Shoot, I’ve gotta get back to Monroe," you followed Jasper over to the ladder and started climbing down.

Suddenly, Jasper stopped, blocking your path, "Jasper, come on, I've gotta get back to-" your voice trailed off as you turned and saw Murphy standing above Myles’ lifeless body.

Murphy froze like a deer in headlights. "Look, I was trying to help him- he just stopped breathing," He tried to play it off, but you and Jasper knew it was a lie.

Murphy’s eyes flicked over the a gun that was laying on a table between him and Jasper. Jasper’s eyes drifted to the same spot and he lunged for it, Murphy doing the same. Murphy got to it first and quickly shoved it’s barrel toward him.

You took a few steps towards the drop ship's door, hoping you could sneak away, "Don't move!" Murphy yelled as he swung the gun toward you.

You and Jasper both froze, putting your arms up, “It’s alright Murphy, we can work this out. J-Just put the gun down,” You coaxed.

"He tried to kill me," Murphy defended, the gun shaking slightly in his hands.

Jasper nodded, as he discreetly clicked the radio in his pocket on, "Listen Murphy, it’s okay, we won't say anything-"

"No, it's not,” Murphy snapped, “You know what'll happen to me when you tell Bellamy,"

"Tell Bellamy what?" Bellamy's rough voice came over the radio, and Jasper’s face went white. He'd just lost the little bit of leverage the two of you had.

"Give me the radio. Now." Murphy ordered and Jasper slowly pulled the radio out of his pocket.

"Okay, okay Murphy. Just put the gun down," You tried to calm Murphy down.

"SHUT UP!" Murphy screamed at you. You flinched, doing what he said- after all, he was the one with a gun.

"Murphy has a gun and he killed Myles-" Jasper quickly said into the walkie-talkie before Murphy lunged forward, knocking him out with the end of the gun. You winced as the radio and Jasper fell to the floor.

“Murphy?” Bellamy tried to reason with him.

Murphy crouched down to pick up the radio, “If you say another word, I’ll kill him,” Murphy’s words left Bellamy silent on the other end.

With Murphy distracted by the radio, you took your chance, sprinting for the door, but Murphy moved quickly and caught your wrist.

He pushed you back and lunged to the door, slamming his hand down on a button, closing your only chance for an escape. You fought as hard as you could to get away from him, knowing if that door sealed you were as good as dead.

Finally, Murphy let go of your wrist and you jumped towards the button, but you were yanked back by a solid hold on your hair, "Where the hell do you think you're going, sweetheart?" Murphy snarled into your ear.

You winced at the sharp pain and the nickname, everyone knew that was what Bellamy called you.

You jerked your elbow backward into Murphy's gut and he let go of you. You fell to the floor, scrambling to get away from him, but your attempts were futile.

Murphy cocked the gun and you froze at the sound, knowing if you did anything else to piss him off, he wouldn’t hesitate to shoot you.

"Tie Jasper up. Now." Murphy ordered.

You pushed yourself up from the ground and picked up some of the seatbelts from the drop ship's seats, reluctantly walking over to Jasper, who was still lying unconscious on the floor.

You bound Jaspers wrists together, feeling Murphy's cold stare burning into your back. “I’m so sorry Jasper,” you whispered.

"Now, get up and walk over there." Murphy pointed to the opposite end of the dropship with his gun. You did what you were told and stood there, your heart pounding as you waited for Murphy to do something.

"Murphy, you're leaving us vulnerable to an attack and I can't let that happen," Bellamy tried to sound intimidating over the radio, but you could hear the panic laced in his words.

Murphy didn't respond for a minute, instead, he grabbed a seatbelt and stalked over to you. "In case you haven't noticed, you're not exactly in control right now," Murphy snarled back to Bellamy as he reached you.

You waited for an opportunity for Murphy to let his guard down, for you to fight back.

"Come on Murphy, you don't wanna hurt Jasper,"

Your heart dropped. He didn’t know.

Murphy stopped what he was doing and smirked at you, "He doesn't know you're here?” He laughed darkly and shook his head, “This day is getting better and better isn't it sweetheart," He turned his back to you, fiddling with his gun and thinking of something to say to Bellamy.

You knew this was your only chance.

You jumped on his back, hitting, clawing and punching. Murphy dropped his gun and stumbled to the ground, you fell on top of him, reaching for the gun and standing over him when you finally managed to get a hold of it.

"Get up Murphy," you ordered, confident now that you had the upper hand.

Murphy lifted himself off the ground, chuckling to himself.

"What's so funny?" You demanded.

Murphy smiled smugly and your eyes widened as he held up the gun's clip.

Before you had a chance to react, Murphy snatched the gun out of your hands and shoved you face-first against the wall. "Leaving so soon, Y/N? The fun's just getting started," Murphy growled in to your ear. Suddenly he grabbed your head and slammed it against the wall, everything faded into darkness.

You slowly opened your eyes. Something warm and thick was dripping down your face. You looked up; your arms were raised above your head, bound together and the belt holding them was stuck on something sticking out of the wall. You tried to pull at the ropes holding you back, but it was no use, you were stuck.

You glanced over to Murphy who was standing next to Jasper and listening to Bellamy over the radio.

"Come on Murphy, make a trade. Me for Jasper," Bellamy fell silent, anxiously awaiting his response.

"No!" You yelled, but you were quickly silenced when Murphy glared at you and carelessly pointed the gun at Jasper. He smirked at you when you fell quiet, his eyes somehow colder than usual, "This is gonna be more fun than I thought,"

You ignored his remarks and continued to struggle silently as you watched Murphy agree to Bellamy's ridiculous plan.

"You open the door, I walk in, and Jasper walks out," Bellamy explained sternly over the radio.

Murphy reached over and pushed the button; the drop ship doors slowly opened. He pulled Jasper off of the ground, "Just you Bellamy! No guns or Jasper's dead!" Murphy yelled.

The fabric on the front of the door began to move, soon revealing Bellamy. Murphy kept his promise and shoved Jasper out of the dropship.

Bellamy saw you, his eyes widening, "Y/N? Why the hell-"

Murphy shoved past Bellamy and quickly shut the door, he aimed his gun at the roof.

BANG.

You and Bellamy flinched as Murphy shot a bullet into the ceiling, “Shut up,”

You watched Murphy intently, your heart pounding anxiously, wondering what he’d do next. “Bellamy, tie them together," he pointed with his gun towards some of the belts on the ground. Bellamy did as he was told. "Now tie the ends together,"

You gulped as you realized what Murphy was forcing Bellamy to make: a noose. "Murphy please don't-" you begged.

"I said, shut up! Or I'll kill him right now," Murphy snapped and you fell silent once again, "Now toss it over," he told Bellamy as he gestured at the beam crossing the dropship’s celling.

"What do you want me to say?" Bellamy said nervously, "I'm sorry, okay,"

"Please... Murphy it wasn't his fault," you tried to sound brave, but it was hard to hide the fact that you were terrified.

"Wasn't his fault?" Murphy scoffed, "He had the chance to end it, but he kicked the crate out from underneath me, it was completely his fault,” he spun back around to face you, “Don't act like you're so innocent Y/N, you didn't even hesitate to blame me for Well's death," Murphy snarled as he shoved the gun in your direction.

"Woah, woah Murphy, focus on me. You want me dead," Bellamy threw the rope over one of the drop ship's beams, trying to distract Murphy from you.

"Bellamy, no-" your cries were cut short when a bullet was fired right next to your head. You gaped in shock at the hole in the wall only inches from you.

"Put it around your neck."

Bellamy listened. You made no effort to stop the silent tears that were beginning to stream down your cheeks.

"If you move, I'll kill her," Murphy warned Bellamy as he turned his attention to you.

"Leave her alone Murphy! You have me, just let her go," Bellamy practically begged.

Murphy rolled his eyes and pressed the gun to your chin. You closed your eyes, praying that he would just leave.

"I swear Bellamy, one more word and I'll shoot her," Murphy warned.

Bellamy looked at you, his eyes a mixture of fear, guilt, and anger. Your view of Bellamy was blocked as Murphy stepped in front of you, lowering the gun.

"You're gonna be my insurance," Murphy muttered as he unhooked your arms from the wall. In one hand, Murphy kept the gun and in the other, he held you tightly against him.

"Mmh, no wonder Bellamy has a thing for you," Murphy whispered loud enough for Bellamy to hear, "You're perfect,"

Bellamy stood there glaring daggers at Murphy, knowing if he did anything you'd pay the price. You shifted uncomfortably against him, “You’re disgusting Murphy,” You snarled.

"You know, for the record, I didn't think you two were a very cute couple anyways," Murphy forced you forward to the crate Bellamy was standing on. You dug your feet into the ground, trying to stop Murphy from getting closer to Bellamy.

"Y/N, sweetheart, close your eyes," Bellamy pleaded.

You tried to pull away and stop Murphy, but you couldn't. Murphy kicked the crate out from underneath him. Bellamy let out a strangled grunt as the rope pulled against him.

"Bellamy!" You screamed, tears running down your face and blurring your vision as you struggled to reach him. You were so focused on getting away from Murphy that you didn't notice the dropship door opening until Murphy had once again jammed the gun against your chin.

"Everybody out of the way now or I‘ll put a bullet in her," Murphy ordered as he dragged you, kicking and screaming, out of the dropship.

Everyone stared in shock as they cleared a path for you and Murphy. "Don't just stand there!" You screamed as you continued thrashing to get away from Murphy, "Help him! He needs help!"

Finally Octavia and some of the others ran to the dropship, you prayed that they could save him. You figured you wouldn’t get the chance to find out as Murphy dragged you out of camp and into the woods.
