2010s
introduced us to many amazing new artists, and some of them really made a
splash with their very first record. Here’s a couple of our favorite debut
albums that came out this decade.

Lana
Del Rey – Born to Die

Lana Del Rey introduced us to her own signature sound on her debut album, which featured some of her biggest hits to date, including “Born to Die” and “Video Games.”

Billie
Eilish – When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

Billie
Eilish’s first LP is one of the latest additions to this list, but it received
more acclaim than any other debut record over the course of the past ten years.

Bruno
Mars – Doo-Wops & Hooligans

Bruno Mars is one of the most recognizable R&B stars in the world right now, but he was still a newcomer in 2010 when his debut album gave us such breakout hits as “The Lazy Song” and “Marry You.”

Lorde
– Pure Heroine

Lorde
was only 16 when her signature single “Royals” hit no. 1 on the charts around
the world, and it was only one of many amazing tracks on her first studio
record.

Janelle
Monáe – The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe has been forging her own path on the R&B scene for an entire decade, and it all started with her first album The ArchAndroid, which received widespread acclaim from the critics in 2010.
