That Year in Music 2015

That Year in Music 2015
November 22, 2024

2015 was a year marked by diversity and innovation in the music industry, with artists pushing boundaries and challenging norms in both Britain and America. From the rise of indie darling Courtney Barnett to the return of iconic pop sensation Adele, the year was packed with stellar releases that captured the cultural zeitgeist.

In Britain, one of the standout albums of the year was Jamie xx's "In Colour," a genre-defying masterpiece that blended electronic, house, and R&B influences to create a truly unique sound. Another notable release was Wolf Alice's "My Love Is Cool," a debut album that brought grunge and indie rock back into the mainstream.

Across the pond in America, Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly" was a game-changing release that explored themes of race, identity, and politics with unparalleled artistry and lyricism. Another standout album was Sufjan Stevens' "Carrie & Lowell," a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the artist's late mother.

In the world of pop music, Adele made a triumphant return with "25," breaking records and capturing hearts around the globe with her powerhouse vocals and emotional ballads. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift continued her reign as queen of the charts with the release of "1989," an infectious blend of pop, electronic, and synthpop influences.

In 2015, the music world also saw the emergence of talented young artists who would go on to make a significant impact on the industry. British singer-songwriter Hozier burst onto the scene with his soulful debut album, while American sensation Lizzo made waves with her bold and empowering brand of pop and hip-hop.

Notable artists born in 1995 include British pop star Charli XCX, known for her infectious hooks and rebellious attitude, and American rapper Lil Yachty, who has gained a loyal following for his quirky aesthetic and playful lyrics.
