Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #43: Tanya Morgan’s ‘YGWY$4’

December 2, 2017 Albumism Staff

#43
Tanya Morgan | YGWY$4
Foundation Media | Amazon | iTunes

According to Ben Pedroche: “Recorded over the course of the last few years, often written on the road between tour stops, the album’s title is meant as a comment on the disposable nature of modern music and the short-attention span of today’s listener. If you stream it or download it illegally, and then don't like what you hear, then you got what you paid for. The same logic applies if you buy it and love it. Fortunately, no matter how YGWY$4 manages to get inside your ears, there's a lot to like....Tanya Morgan are probably right—you do get what you pay for. Yet parting with your cash on this occasion won’t leave you short-changed.”
