Ep. 94 - My Top 10 Albums of 2025
About this episode
Jacob Givens reflects on music and shares his Top 10 Albums of 2025.
Happy New Year and welcome to 2026. In this episode of Waterproof Records, I’m kicking things off by reflecting on time, age, and how music continues to meet us exactly where we are—and then diving headfirst into my Top 10 Albums of 2025, along with a very necessary list of honorable mentions. This isn’t a critic’s list. There are no rankings, no hype chasing, and no obligation to agree with what anyone else says belongs here. These are simply the albums that found me this year—the records I returned to, lived with, and connected with during specific moments of life. Whether you’re here to discover new music, compare lists, or just hang out and talk records, I’m grateful you’re listening. Thanks for coming back—and if you’re new, welcome to the show.
