It’s almost 2015, which means the Croatoan virus did not take over the country, and that, my friend, is something to dance about.
This year, I was inspired not only by music, but by the spirit of the artists creating it.
Here are the 10 albums (plus a bonus) I listened to obsessively in 2014 and will continue to bump in 2015. This list includes feminists, a transexual, a gay icon and other progressive and socially conscious artists. If you haven’t heard of the band or the album, click the links, check out the videos and give ’em a listen. If you’re against revolution via music, move on now, because it’s about to be 2015 and the times, my friend, they are a-changing.
A special thanks to my honey!! for helping me compile this list, across the span of three days, picking up conversations as if no time had passed at all.

1) Beyonce Platinum Edition by Beyonce
I love me some Queen Bey and the self titled album Beyonce, released as a visual album December 2013 and reissued as a platinum edition November 2014, is her best yet. With musical appearances by Drake, Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Frank Ocean and more, this eclectic powerhouse continues to surprise at every turn and has birthed more than a few feminists this year.
