Pop Sonality selects "46 Underrated Albums from 1980 to 2025 You Need to Hear Before You Die"

Imagen
This list is a journey through 46 underrated albums, one for each year from 1980 to 2025, showcasing hidden gems, overlooked masterpieces, and second-tier works from legendary artists. While pop is the dominant genre, the selection also explores electronic (Leftfield), jazz (Bill Evans), hip-hop (Digable Planets), soul (Raphael Saadiq), and rock (R.E.M.). You'll find Spanish-language albums you may not know (Mecano, Héroes del Silencio, Hidrogenesse), experimental works that were ahead of their time (Kylie Minogue’s Impossible Princess, Kaytranada’s BUBBA), and albums overshadowed by bigger releases of their iconic creators (Madonna’s Rebel Heart,  Pet Shop Boys’ Please). Some of these records never got the recognition they deserved upon release, that is why Pop Sonality is bringing them back to you. Whether it’s Mac Miller’s posthumous Balloonerism or Chic’s Real People, every album on this list has something special to offer. Dive in, explore, and you might just discover a new fa...

 ✨ @dora_diodona has Pop Sonality!  ✨ Pop Sonality: How do you feel when you see a great find for a photo? How does it make you feel to see what you know is a good motif for a photograph?  🔥 @dora_diodona: Seeing a good motif can be a thrilling experience that challenges me  to translate my vision into a tangible piece of art. I must feel a sense of connection to the subject, as I envision how to convey emotions and stories through my lens.  Capturing a strong motif  provides me a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment, particularly if it leads to a striking final image. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #concept #conceptart #blog #photologio_gr #photologio #kodizes #dazed #streetphotographersmagazine #n8zine #broadmag #nothingfromnowhere #nowherediary #somelightmag #gallery #woolmag #floatmagazine #streetphotographymag #magnumphotos #makemeseemag #subjectivelyobjective #fromstreetswithlove #pellicolamag #ifyouleave #travelphotography #streetleaks #dreamermagazine #yetmagazine ...

👁️ Junk Food Gourmet by Giuseppe Satriani.

Imagen
👁️ Pop Sonality is glad to bring you “Junk Food Gourmet” by @giusatriani, a stunning eye-opener series that reflects on the consumption of junk food and the consequences on our health, mind and body. It’s so revealing! I hope it touches you and makes you think about your relation with this No-Food at all and what is causing you physically and mentally. It is limiting you. Eating no real food is the biggest problem!  The idealistic fighter Giuseppe Satriani positively states: Obesity is the true pandemic, the world’s deadliest disease. In fact, more than 2.8 million people die every year because of obesity. The consumption of junk food is linked to obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and hypertension. Childhood obesity seems to be always more a question of social class: in families with an annual income of less than 18,000 euros, 23.6% of children are obese, while in families with a rent of more than 30,000 euros per year, this ratio is reduced to 10.9%. Thanks mainly to the ...

🎄 Manolis Lioudakis has the Pop Sonality!

Imagen
 🎄 @manolislioudakis has the Pop Sonality!  Who are you? Hello, I’m Manolis. I’m from the greek island, Crete. I live there and I’m the owner and chef of a restaurant.  What do you do? Photography is the way I have chosen to communicate with people around me. I can’t tell if I succeed on it or if I can inspire someone through my photos. I usually post my work on social media without any description, leaving them open to any interpretation. I try to give my photos an emotional sense so that the viewer can create their own story with them, without me having to guide them.  Influences and inspiration: The first photographer I was into and inspired me to pick up a camera on my own was Ren Hang. Later, enjoying the local photography group I learned many great photographers who shaped my artistic perspective. But since I’m just a person after all, I spend also a lot of time on social media and I love a lot of photographers that Wikipedia doesn’t write about.

🪁 Graciela Socorro has the Pop Sonality!

Imagen
 🪁 @gracielasocorro has the Pop Sonality! Who are you?  “My work is an ongoing conversation with myself. It’s about exploring the many layers of my inner world—the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that make me who I am. Each piece is a way for me to process and reflect on those layers, sometimes consciously and sometimes through more intuitive or subconscious means. “ What do you do?  “I’m an artist working across mediums—clay, acrylics, wood, and photography—drawing inspiration from my emotions and surroundings. Influences and inspiration:  “My influences are quite diverse, ranging from kinetic artists like Cruz-Diez, Vasarely, and Bridget Riley, whose work with movement and color has deeply inspired my approach to art. In photography, I admire portrait photographers such as Arnold Newman, Yusuf Karsh, and Annie Leibovitz for their mastery in capturing the essence of their subjects with such depth and emotion. Another huge source of inspiration for me is my husb...

☀️Fred Sansone @fred.analogue has the Pop Sonality!  Who are you? My name is Fred Sansone, I was born and raised in Naples, Italy. After spending some years living in Germany and London, UK, I moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where I am currently based. What do you do? I am an analogue photographer. In the current digital era, taking photos exclusively on 35 mm film is my own personal rebellion to our fast-paced way of living, and a society that increasingly values quantity over quality. My works have been displayed in various international exhibitions in Italy, France, Spain, UK, USA, Brazil, UAE, as well as published in magazines and collective photography books. Influences and inspiration: I take photographs mostly while travelling to different countries around the world, visiting new places and discovering new cultures is my main source of inspiration. I am particularly attracted to the contrast between natural and artificial elements. I also like to capture street scenes, ...

John Kayacan shares with Pop Sonality his Tips for Aspiring Photographers!

Imagen
 📸 @jkayacan @jkayacanphotography shares with Pop Sonality his Tips for Aspiring Photographers:  Shoot constantly, a day with new photos whether you like them or not is better than a day with no photos at all  Surround yourself with good quality work, the best way to subconsciously train your mind to get better is to immerse yourself with the photography that you admire most  Be content but hungry, you should take some pride in your work but never stop searching for more  Your camera must be an extension of you take it everywhere and when shooting, be prepared for every scenario, you never know what you’ll see  If you ever miss a shot don’t feel so bad good photographs are everywhere “If your photos aren’t good enough your not close enough”- Robert Capa, I tend to revisit this quote once in a while or when I feel uninspired  The internet is great and all but physical images remain supreme. Try to find and read as many photo books you can get your hand...
