Carlos Vara, Want Me To | Track Review

Carlos Vara continues to make his case for ‘the next big’ thing in pop music with his superb, highly-expressive single, “Want Me To.”

Grammy-winning urban contemporary standout H.E.R. continues to get better and better and better, exhibited by her stellar, reflective single, “21.”

L.A. based hip-hop collective BROCKHAMPTON make a triumphant return with “I Been Born Again,” the promo single from their fifth album, ‘GINGER.’

Ari Leff, better known as Lauv, assisted by Anne-Marie, drop the lonely, but enjoyably, explicit “f**k, I’m Lonely,” from ‘13 Reasons Why: Season 3.’

“Alluring Songs Where the Keyword is Back, Vol. 1” features music courtesy of Beyoncé, BJ the Chicago Kid, Chris Lane, Dennis Lloyd, and Iggy Azalea.

Although not characterized as flashy, R&B singer/songwriter BJ The Chicago Kid delivers another solid, highly enjoyable R&B album with ‘1123.’

Standout teenage Indonesian rapper Rich Brian steps up his game on his alluring, eclectic sophomore album, ‘The Sailor.’

“11 Awesome Songs That Tickled My Fancy in July 2019” features music by Alec Benjamin, Beyoncé, Bon Iver, Rich Brian, and Sam Smith.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ After winning three Grammys, Chicago rap standout Chance the Rapper releases his ‘big,’ entertaining, if scattered debut LP, ‘The Big Day.’

Rising boy band Why Don’t We delivers two short, incredibly sweet, and suggestive pop singles with “I Still Do” and “Come to Brazil.”

Lil Nas X continues to ride the wave of his mega-hit “Old Town Road” with another remix, “Old Town Road (Seoul Town Road Remix)” featuring RM of BTS.

Big Sean is reflective and thoughtful on his single “Single Again” without necessarily being particularly exciting, innovative, or game changing.
