~ Album Reviews 💿 ~

Album reviews tend to follow a track-by-track format, commencing with an intro paragraph comprised of background information, and concluding paragraph that wraps things up. Also, GEMS 💎 – the best, highly recommended tracks – are selected at the end of each review. It should not come as a surprise to see the analysis run > 1000 words.

Amanda Marie Wilkinson, Spiritual Level | Track Review 🎵

George James: Amanda Marie Wilkinson is taking on the biggest names in dance-pop with her new release “Spiritual Level.”

H.E.R., Damage | Track Review 🎵

“Damage,” an emotional, love-centric number, marks another authentic, well-rounded offering from the Grammy-winning R&B darling H.E.R.

The Kid LAROI, SO DONE | Track Review 🎵

Teen rap sensation The Kid LAROI relays the plight of love effectively and expressively on the brief, melodic single, “SO DONE.”

Ariana Grande, Positions | Track Review 🎵

“Positions” doesn’t eclipse some of the biggest hits by Ariana Grande, but it gives her another enjoyable, totally sexy, vibe-laden joint.

Charlie Wilson, All of My Love | Track Review 🎵

Charlie Wilson, assisted by the legendary Smokey Robinson, shines on the old-school, love centric single, “All of My Love.”

Jack Harlow, Tyler Herro | Track Review 🎵

Ascending rapper Jack Harlow drops another irresistible banger with the short but sweet (and potent) “Tyler Herro.”

Ashley Lauren, Alive | Track Review 🎵

George James: Wow, I do feel “Alive” just from listening to Ashley Lauren. So much so, I even woke up this morning with the melody circulating my brain.

$NOT & Flo Milli, Mean | Track Review 🎵

Rappers $NOT and Flo Milli make a formidable tandem on the utterly unapologetic, ‘mean-sounding’ single, “Mean.”

Leon Bridges & Lucky Daye, All About You | Track Review 🎵

“All About You,” a collaboration between R&B standouts Leon Bridges & Lucky Daye, isn’t flashy, but all in all, beautiful & quite enjoyable.

G-Eazy, Hate the Way | Track Review 🎵

“Hate the Way” isn’t earth shattering, but G-Eazy, aided by blackbear, drops a respectable, relatable record fueled by questionable love.
