We’re not going to be so trite as to rehearse the old argument about iTunes having killed the album. That’s been done to death, with pretty unedifying results.
But (and it’s a decent sized but, if you’ll excuse the crudity), the way in which we listen to music today is undeniably very different from the way in which we listened to music just a few years ago. Single sales might be collapsing, but with mp3 blogs still going strong and the cult of the DJ enjoying a resurgence, the stock of the individual track, as opposed to the album, seems to be on the rise. While there have been dozens of albums deserving of your love, it seems like 2011 has been the year of the single – or, more accurately, of the single song. The last twelve months have seen some of our favourite artists honing the art of the discrete track to perfection, while a handful of newcomers have quietly birthed undeniable delights of their own.
