Records of the Year... Part II

As a follow-up to my earlier blog entry Records of the Year... Part I here is a list of remarkable albums - one way or another - released in the last six months of 2018, accompanied by a Spotify playlist.

Worthwhile contenders include expected and unexpected comebacks by Paul McCartney, Chic, Robyn or Mumford & Sons as well as quite fresh tunes by Capital Cities, Roosevelt, Troye Sivan or 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards nominee Ella Mai.
