These are the albums in which you can wallow. They aren’t the get-up-and-go records for cheering you up when you’re sad. But these albums aren’t for when you’re okay. And, to be fair, “Are you okay?” seems like an appropriate question if you’re exclusively listening to The National after a breakup.
These are the albums in your record collection that might prompt a chorus of “Who hurt you?”s from friends and family. Those albums got us thinking about our other favorite breakup albums, those records we turn to when music is the only thing that numbs the pain. Thankfully, February 2019 also brought us a slew of great new breakup albums (Martin Frawley’s Undone at 31, Julia Jacklin’s Crushing and, yes, even Ariana Grande’s thank u, next), just in time to help those of us feeling a little broken block out the swarm of pink and red, flowers and candy. While Valentine’s Day and its host month February are presumably about love and feeling it/showing it/making it whenever and wherever you can, this gray, dreary month can feel a little lonely if you’ve recently weathered a breakup.
