Mavoy Music Top 300 Albums Of 2023






Time for our year-end chart of the best 300 albums of 2023. I'm counting down the records on Twitter and then I'm sharing them here. As always, I include a genre and a label next to every album, and descriptions for TOP 20 records.

Unfortunately, we had one duplicated album in the second hundred, so I had to move every song after it - we have a different #300 than originally posted.


 20 Penelope Trappes - Heavenly Spheres (ambient, Nite Hive)


The highest ranking ambient album of 2023 is the latest release from prolific composer and label owner, whom I got to know personally. Heavenly Spheres is her best work.


19 Daniel Pemberton – Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse (score, Sony Classical)

18 Oliver Coates – Aftersun (score, Lakeshore)

17 Christopher Willis – Lamya’s Poem (score, Into The Depths)


As always, many soundtracks rank high in the chart, my personal #1 in this regard comes from the little-known animated film, scored by Christopher Willis. But I still think of the Pemberton's Spider-Gwen theme at least once a week! It's insane.


16 Kali Uchis – Red Moon In Venus (R&B, Interscope)


I was skeptical if Kali can repeat the success of Isolation - and I'm still not sure about her upcoming Spanish album after mixed bag of singles - but Red Moon In Venus generally kept the esthetics and the style of that record.


15 PJ Harvey – I Inside The Old Year Dying (folk, Partisan)


New Polly Jean's album is more folky, acoustic, than The Hope Six Demolition Project which made it less accessible to me already, I prefer PJ's guitar work. But the vocals are absolutely incredible, plus, we have an unexpected appearance from one... Paddington Bear. Well, kind of.


14 Sigur Rós - ÁTTA (ambient/post-rock, BMG)

I was vaguely familiar with Sigur Rós, because I listened to Polish Radio 3 fifteen or so years ago (huh, time flies...). I'm surprised that their new album doesn't appear on more year-end charts, it's a highly unique work.


13 Say She She – Silver (R&B/soul, Karma Chief)

I love these girls, but I gotta say - they released A LOT of singles for Silver, and I didn't instantly love all of them. Astral Plane is sung a little too high. C'est Si Bon is too camp and sweet for my taste. It doesn't change the incredible talent of the trio and there are many great songs on the album, but I'm not sure which of their albums I like most. Both are great!


12 Nation Of Language – Strange Disciple (indie, Play It Again Sam)

I knew about Nation Of Language before, but for me their breakout song was Across That Fine Line, with its glorious anthemic chorus. Their strong form continues - next to M83, Strange Disciple is the best 80s-inspired record of the year.


11 Hinako Omori – Softness, Stilness… (experimental, Houndstooth)

The best experimental album of the year, from the Japanese/London producer and singer, who performed with Floating Points and was praised by me many times on the blog.


10 Adi Oasis - Lotus Glow (funk, Unity)

To continue the subject that I mentioned with Sigur Rós, the best funk record of the year was released by the artist who doesn't really appear in popular year-end charts, the singer formerly known as Adeline. I believe it's a remarkable record, instrumentally, vocally, production-wise, lyrically, something I believe Prince himself would really love (and would instantly want to work with Adi, no doubt!)


9 Lana Del Rey – Did you know there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd (pop, Interscope)

Many readers will know my history with Lana, my early activity in her fandom, that I met her in person. They may also know that the last album of hers that I love unequivocally is Norman Fucking Rockwell. Boulevard is her best record in quite some time, but I don't enjoy a trap influence on some songs (I admire the honesty of the song A&W, but I still can't listen to it). My favorite songs on the album are the ones more relating to her past work - like Father John Misty collab or Sweet.


8 Kelela – Raven (electronic, Warp)

We've been awaiting Kelela's return for years and the new record didn't disappoint. I classified her previous works as "R&B", but I think it's reductive and a bit disrespectful - it's electronic music through and through - immersive and powerful.


7 Dave Okumu & The 7 Generations – I Came From Love (singer-songwriter, Transgressive)

Dave Okumu is, most importantly to us, a producer of debut work of Jessie Ware, so our forever hero already. But he's also a frontman of the band The Invisible, now seemingly on the hiatus, and the new band The 7 Generations. It's my preferred political record of the year and Dave's voice impresses as always.


6 Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iver, Shahzad Ismaily – Love In Exile (jazz/folk, Verve)

I still can't believe I've seen this trio not just live, but in my hometown, in the venue I've never expected to watch the Grammy-winning artist, nonetheless. This magical performance, my favorite gig of the year, certainly impacts the position, but even without it, I'd be certainly impressed with more jazzy side of Aftab and her collaborators.


5 M83 – Fantasy (electronic, Mute/Virgin)

Positive surprise, I was disappointed with 2016's Junk and afraid Anthony Gonzales lost his way. The French producer gave up on experimentation and, on Fantasy, largely returned to the sound of his previous records, but paradoxically it worked for the best. Some new tracks even hint to his early 00s shoegaze works!


4 Ryuichi Sakamoto – 12 / Monster (neoclassical/ambient, Milan)

Ryuichi Sakamoto isn't my most played artist of the year, but he's up there. As I mentioned before, I wasn't familiar with most of his work, aside from Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, but I dug deep after he passed away. I'm fascinated with the size and eclecticism of his discography and I recommend a similar journey to everyone. Until the end, he was composing and the album 12 is probably one of his best late releases.


3 Jessie Ware – That! Feels Good! (disco, EMI)

I didn't know if Jessie can keep it in TOP 3, but she succeeded. I'm generally enjoying her new current sound - disco and boogie music is close to our heart, definitely, but honestly, lyrically it's not a strong record, balancing on the thin border of kitsch. Jessie used to always have good lyrics. Not always on this new album. I definitely think album is inferior to What's Your Pleasure. It's still amazing, but not a masterpiece. We'll see what happens with the album #6, which is apparently already in works.


#2 Cleo Sol – Heaven / Gold (soul, Forever Living Originals)

What can I even say about Cleo Sol that I haven't already? She has already win Album Of The Year with Mother! Now she released two records in the span of a month (!) and they're both incredible. I don't know if I can ever count on EU tour (with SAULT it still seems impossible), but I guess that's the only thing I can wait for right now.


#1 ALBUM OF THE YEAR Nabihah Iqbal – Dreamer (singer-songwriter, Ninja Tune)


I told this story before but: in last month of 2017, I discovered music of little known artist, singer, songwriter, producer and a radio DJ. After just a few weeks, I included her debut record Weighing Of The Heart as our #10 album of that year. After a long journey (that included the sad loss of almost completed album), Nabihah released a second album of the year - it's extraordinary. It's the most eclectic release of last few years. There are still traces of synth music that earned her unexpected comparisons to... Pet Shop Boys, but there are also compositions more indebted to shoegaze, acid house, ambient - and even some R&B influence in some songs, in my opinion. While unfortunately and not of her fault, the artist had to cancel her first Polish performance, I don't wanna lose hope that it'll happen and Nabihah will perform in our country very soon.
