French alternative rock collective Phoenix never miss a beat on Bankrupt! a compelling follow-up to their Grammy-winning 2009 LP, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.

Fantasia delivers an enjoyable fourth studio album with ‘Side Effects of You.’ It’s imperfect, but all in all, well-rounded.

Although lengthy and overstuffed, Kid Cudi delivers plenty of intriguing moments throughout the course of his third studio album, ‘Indicud.’

Up-and-coming, 20-year-old, Florida hip-hop/pop artist Jake Miller shines on EP, 'The Road Less Traveled.'

While his sophomore album ‘Wolf’ is still ‘rough around the edges,’ Tyler, the Creator packages the album more responsibly than 'Goblin.'

‘I Am Not a Human Being II’ is a good Lil Wayne album, not an elite one. Sometimes he’s ‘on,’ while other times, he's less inspired, recycling past ideas.

Chrisette Michele drops a soulful gem with "A Couple of Forevers," the promo single for her fourth studio album, 'Better.'

Following an illustrious career, with nothing to prove, veteran R&B musician Charlie Wilson delivers a solid R&B affair on his 2013 LP, ‘Love Charlie.’

British pop artist Conor Maynard puts the Justin Bieber comparisons to rest on his enjoyable, suggestive debut album, 'Contrast.'

After an underwhelming seventh studio album in ‘No Mercy,’ T.I. redeems himself on his eighth album, ‘Trouble Man: Heavy is the Head.'

One Direction has a clear 'hierarchy.' While the band lacks the personality of 90s boy bands, there are distinctions within the group musically.
