We\u2019re celebrating National Album Day \u2013 what have been the primary albums you bear in mind falling in love with?<\/strong><\/p>\n Georgia South<\/strong>: \u201cThere are two that spring to mind. \u2018Seeing Sounds\u2019 by N.E.R.D.<\/a>, purely because I discovered that album when I was 13, and I remember thinking, \u2018There\u2019s nothing that sounds anything like this\u2019 \u2013 it just blew my mind. How have they mixed all these sounds? What am I even listening to? Then I also remember listening to \u2018Innnervisions\u2019 by Stevie Wonder<\/a> on cassette in my dad\u2019s car. We\u2019d be screaming along to all the talky bits of \u2018Living For The City\u2019 every time we got in the car.\u201d<\/p>\n Amy Love<\/strong>: \u201cOne of my mum\u2019s favourite records, Toni Braxton<\/a>\u2019s \u2018Secrets\u2019, will always take me back to a really good time and fond memories [of] singing along to it. I was quite young, it was a mature sound \u2013 talking about love, heartbreak, sex. And then Destiny\u2019s Child<\/a> \u2013 their first three albums. That band gave so much to both of us. Three powerful, strong, beautiful, black women being seen in a light [which] I\u2019d never seen women who looked like me being held into, at the time. It was talking about independence \u2013 I don\u2019t need no one, I\u2019ve got my girls, that sisterhood. That was really a turning point for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Did these data enable you to uncover an appreciation for music in album kind?<\/strong><\/p>\n South<\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019ve always loved being in that world. I remember listening to Mariah Carey<\/a>\u2018s 1992 \u2018MTV Unplugged\u2019 on my walkman, and just [getting] lost in it.\u201d<\/p>\n Love:<\/strong> \u201cSometimes it takes you a few tunes to understand an artist\u2026 it\u2019s rare that you get a full picture from one song. I decide after listening to the whole thing, \u2018Is this for me or not?\u2019 I can\u2019t make up my mind after just one song \u2013 you have to be immersed in it.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/NOVA-TWINS-WINNERS-ROOM.jpg\")
