~ 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.

Tyga & Megan Thee Stallion, FREAK | Track Review 🎵

Tyga teams up with Megan Thee Stallion for “FREAK,” one of the nastiest, shallowest, sexed-up bangers of 2020.

Ellie Goulding, Worry About Me | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-nominated pop artist Ellie Goulding returns an entertaining first single of 2020, “Worry About Me,” featuring blackbear.

Lil Yachty & DaBaby, Oprah’s Bank Account | Track Review 🎵

Lil Yachty and DaBaby collaborate with Drake on “Oprah’s Bank Account,” a drippy, sexually driven cut that ultimately lacks profundity.

The Killers, Caution | Track Review 🎵

Brandon Flowers and The Killers make a compelling return with “Caution,” the promo single from their 6th studio LP, Imploding the Mirage.

brakence, fwb | Track Review 🎵

Brakence is more interested in having fun than being committed and coming up short on his short and honest single, “fwb.”

Alec Benjamin, The Book of You & I | Track Review 🎵

Alec Benjamin releases “Oh My God,” another thoughtfully penned and superbly performed single appearing on his debut LP, These Two Windows.

LoveLeo, Rosie | Track Review 🎵

“Rosie,” the second single by rising ‘anti pop’ artist LoveLeo is a ‘short, but sweet,’ absolutely infectious, left-of-center bop.

BROCKHAMPTON, Sugar (Remix) | Track Review 🎵

BROCKHAMPTON shines on “Sugar (Remix),” adding Dua Lipa and Jon B to the mix, and adding clear-cut contrasts to the original.

IAMHaile, Thank you | Track Review 🎵

IAMHaile has dropped his new track 'Thank you'. Firstly, I want to say Thank you to Haile for making me feel so optimistic after this.

Pluko, the lovely one | Track Review 🎵

19-year old dance/electronic producer pluko brings the heat on his epic, awe-inspiring, and thrilling, second single of 2020, “the lovely one.”
