Music is a very diverse field, it offers several genres such as rock, folk, pop, and rap. I listen to many genres of music because it opens me up to other cultures around the world. My top five are albums I listen to consistently and each of them has a different genre of music.
1. A Moment of Madness by Izzy Bizu
This album is a fusion of jazz, funk, soul, and pop; which makes it unique in its own right. Izzy Bizu is a British-born singer and songwriter who was signed to Epic Records in July of 2014. This is one of my top five albums because every song is unique and has a different sound. My favorite track from the album is Lost Paradise because it's a fusion of jazz and pop; it also presents a more lyrical side of Izzy Bizu.

2. FMA by Grace
This album is a mix of blue's, hip-hop, and R&B; this makes the album very versatile when it comes to lyrics and instrumental sound. Grace is an Australian born singer and songwriter who was signed to RCA in 2015. Her album FMA (Forgive My Attitude) is one of my top five albums because each track is unique when it comes to lyrics and Grace's vocal range. My favorite track from the album is New Orleans because it's a very slow tempo ballad and shows a softer side of Grace's vocal range.

3. VHS 2.0 by X Ambassadors
This album has a strong rock influence and is instrumentally unique in sound. X Ambassadors is an American band from New York and was signed to Interscope in 2012. This album is in my top five because of its instrumental sound behind the vocals and the uniqueness of each tracks song lyrics. My favorite track from this album is Kerosene Dreams because of the lyrics and the band's constant change in the vocal range within the song.

4. Pentatonix by Pentatonix
This album is an acapella album that covers genres such as pop, rock, R&B, and EDM. Petatonix is an American acapella group from Texas signed to Sony. This is one of my top five albums because the group covers some of my favorite mainstream pop songs, but they also include some of their original songs they have written. My favorite track from the album is Ref because its the one song on the album that show's off every member of the groups vocal range.

5. Hell's Kitchen Angel by MAX
My final album is one that has many musical genres that are fused together to make a very unique sound and album. MAX is an American born actor, model, dancer, songwriter, and singer; he was signed to DCD2 in 2015. This album is in my top five favorite albums because each song shows off MAX's vocal range and each song has its own unique genre. My favorite track off the album is Lights Down Low because it's one of the only ballads on the album that sounds more instrumental with the sound of a acoustic guitar playing behind the vocals.
