Albums First Released in 2017

Streaming playlists changed how hits spread in 2017, but carefully structured albums still mattered across pop, R&B and indie rock. Key releases from 2017 include Melodrama by Lorde, Ctrl by SZA, Flower Boy by Tyler, the Creator and A Deeper Understanding by The War on Drugs.

Lorde framed a breakup through one night out, SZA wrote with unusual candour, Tyler, the Creator opened his production into brighter arrangements and the War on Drugs refined widescreen guitar music.

Our Pick of the Year: Melodrama by Lorde

Melodrama frames a breakup through the rise and fall of one night out. Green Light, Liability and Supercut use very different arrangements, but Lorde and producer Jack Antonoff keep the album tied to the same emotional timeline. The concise concept gives the record shape without requiring a literal story.
