‘Jake Bugg,’ the self-titled debut LP by the Brit singer/songwriter is a highly recommended effort for traditional-, indie-, folk- or garage-rock fans.
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.
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.’
No Doubt returns after an 11-year hiatus between studio albums. ‘Push and Shove’ serves as the band’s follow-up to Rock Steady, which bowed in 2001.
Overall, ‘!Uno!’ Is a solid and sound effort from Green Day. It accomplishes its purposes to resurrect the band’s punk roots.
‘Food & Liquor II’ is another strong album by Lupe Fiasco that relies more on critical success as opposed to commercial aspiration.
