JAMAs 2024 WINNER! Jessica Pratt: Life In The Pitch
My jaw hit the floor when I first heard this. It could have been recorded the year I was born. Sounds perfect, shimmering, echoey vocals, ideal musical accompaniment, top notch production. No way you can’t be charmed by this record.

Jaye Annual Music Awards 2024 Best Album Runner Up
Gillian Welch & Dave Rowlings - Woodland
Perfect slice of Americana (country done by folkies). Harmony duetting, on both vocal and plucked guitar, with appropriate accompaniment. Stunning attention to detail

JAMAs 2024 No 3 Arooj Aftab – Night Reign
Ghazal-influenced vocal chamber folk/jazz, marrying east & west with an incredible singing voice. All very atmospheric, hypnotic late night stuff. Quite pleasant early morning too, wafting through the house like it’s the only sound in town.

Number 4: Michael Kiwanuka - Small Changes
Gone is the blistering psychedelic soul of yore, leaving his yearnful, wistful motifs intact. His previous two albums were both JAMAs runners-up. 4th place is like watching Jimmy White lose the snooker semifinals

JAMAs 2024 No. 5:
Meshell Ndegeocello - No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin. Probably the wokest record I own (in the original “stay woke, bro” sense). This second album for Blue Note is incredibly polemic, being a tribute to the late James Baldwin's political activism

JAMAs '24
No. 8 Julia Holter – Something In The Room She Moves
Another excellent production from the reigning queen of art-pop. Julia has a good, normal voice, unlike many art pop contemporaries, making it easier to go with the flow, and enjoy the album experience.

9: Cindy Lee – Diamond Jubilee
2 hour odyssey into memories and emotions; beautiful, forgettable, evocative mood music subtly transporting you to another place. Sometimes weird, never unpleasant, with electric guitar, floaty vocals, mellow discordance.

THE JAMAs 2024 Top 10
Number 10: SOPHIE - SOPHIE
First, and likely final, posthumous release from acclaimed producer SOPHIE. This album is largely DESPISED by SOPHIE’s cult following. They’re probably right, but I generally like its minimal ambient/club vibe. So there.

JAMAs 24: Biggest Disappointment
Lady Blackbird: Slang Spirituals
Her debut, Black Acid Soul remains one of the finest vocal jazz LPs of the century.
This sounds like generic middle of the road r’n’b/soul landfill. Music needs to arrest me. This has me filing a complaint.

JAMAs 2024:
Best Album I Missed Last Year Award goes to Chappell Roan's The Rise and Fall Of a Midwest Princess. From underground cult figure to Greta "I want to be [left] alone" Garbo in less than 12 months is a very impressive, if world-weary outcome. This is a great pop album.
