Mixtapes of The Year 2011
The line between mixtape and free album is a thin one. It is now harder than ever to distinguish between the two with artists creating whole projects made up of original material and releasing them for free. It used to be easier when mixtapes were made up of freestyles or cover versions of popular songs and accompanied by one or two original songs. For that reason I’ve combined the two lists (Best Mixtape 2011 and Best Free Album 2011). Click the album titles to have a listen or download the album/ mixtape.

EP's of The Year 2011
EP’s seem to have increased in popularity with artists in
the last year or so. The majority that are released are free and many were
released this year. But it seems like many were crafted without care or were
just made up of left overs from previous projects. Fear not as I’ve taken the
care to list EP’s that will not end up wasting away occupying valuable space on your mp3
player/ hard drive. Click on the album title to hear a preview of the EP & enjoy.

Beth Ditto - Beth Ditto EP (Dance/ Electro)

Live Performances of The Year 2011
For my first attempt at this listing malarkey, I’m addressing the performances of the year. These were the performances that stole the show at the gig or television programme that the artist(s) appeared at/on.
Adele @ Brits 2011
This was amazing and so simple. Just Adele, a mic, a pianist & piano. You can feel all of the emotion in the song and it felt quite intimate. One of the best songs from 2011 performed beautifully in what was easily one of the performances of the year.
Beyonce @ Billboard awards 2011

Simply put: this was amazing.
