[Ice Prince]

Whoa, I'm not really sure but here's mine (not counting reissues like Tove Lo's Dirt Femme😞

1. Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
2. Ava Max - Diamonds & Dancefloors
3. Bebe Rexha - Bebe
4. Ellie Goulding - Higher Than Heaven
5. Skott - Roses N Guns
6. Fleurie - Supertropicali
7. Rita Ora - You & I

Albums I partially enjoyed:

• LP - Love Lines
• Carly Rae Jepsen - The Loveliest Time
• Kim Petras - Feed the Beast
• Amber Run - How to Be Human
• Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation
• Kim Petras - Problématique
• Slayyyter - STARFUCKER
• Melanie Martinez - PORTALS

Tbh this was a really weird album in music for me, some of my faves released projects but I didn't really find some of them great, and some other cases like Slayyyter where I don't enjoy her early music and her particular new album I liked only like half of it? I highkey hope next year is less busy with releases but that they are of better quality.

1. Higher Than Heaven - Ellie Goulding

2. ME - Single - JISOO

3. Speak Now (Taylor's Version) - Taylor Swift

4. Bebe - Bebe Rexha

5. To X - TAEYEON

Top 5 albums that weren't released in 2023 but, I enjoyed listening to in 2023 (in no specific order):

1. My Voice (Deluxe Edition) - TAEYEON (2017)

2. good to know (Deluxe Edition) - JoJo (2020) 

3. Red (Taylor's Version) - Taylor Swift (2021)

5. Why EP - TAEYEON (2016)

Don't know why I listed the ones above, but you're welcome! 2023 I listened to a lot of unreleased and AI generated music, I tried to keep a healthy balance of listening to both official releases and released, but ultimately failed to do that. The thought was there the effort was not 😂.
