2024 - Album of the Year: Daphne Guinness - Sleep

Daphne Guinness' "Sleep" is an album that I deeply loved upon first listen. Helped in part by my eventual Song of the Year, "Burn", it was easily my most played release of 2024! And it wasn't just "Burn" that pulled me back. The entire album is solid and full of POP! perfection! Opening track "Hip Neck Spine" pulls you in immediately with its dramatic strings and sets the vibe for the rest of the album. Album closer "Time", whose Hercules & Love Affair remix was the first thing I heard from the album, is another one of my top tracks of the year. Perfect closer! In the middle, you have so many other POP! masterpieces: the pulsing-synth of "Volcano", the cheerful chorus of "Bedazzled", the hard-hitting truths of "No Joke"! "Love & Destruction" and "Dark Night of the Soul" are also wonderful! I love it all!!
Thank you Daphne Guinness for this album! Here's to more POP! soon! Much love from Ooberus Oblivious!
