Kojaque – Deli Daydreams
I think my favourite album this year was Irish rapper Kojaque’s debut album Deli Daydreams, which was unreal. My two fave songs from that would be White Noise and Eviction Notice. For second place, it’s a draw between Lily Allen’s album No Shame (which was ridiculously underrated) and the new IDLES album Joy as an Act of Resistance. Honourable mention for north Dublin band girlfriend. who finally put some of their music on Spotify this year too.

Call Me By Your Name came out last year, but it’s still a 2018 pick here.
