~ 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.

Grouplove, Deleter | Track Review 🎵

After nearly four years, Grouplove returns with its first new single, post-Big Mess, “Deleter.” “Deleter” is epic, totally rocking hard.

Ozzy Osbourne, Ordinary Man | Track Review 🎵

Ozzy Osbourne taps a fellow music icon, Elton John, for “Ordinary Man,” the epic title track from his highly anticipated 12th studio album.

Megan Thee Stallion & Normani, Diamonds | Track Review 🎵

Megan Thee Stallion & Normani join forces on “Diamonds,” the promo single from Birds of Prey: The Album, the soundtrack to the DC film.

Tame Impala, Lost in Yesterday | Track Review 🎵

Tame Impala continues to build the anticipation for their fourth studio LP, The Slow Rush, with the fourth advanced single, “Lost in Yesterday.”

Lil Baby, Sum 2 Prove | Track Review 🎵

Lil Baby is true to self, delivering an enjoyable single with “Sum 2 Prove” that doesn’t expand his craft or ascend to the next level.

Luke James, Blow | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-nominated R&B artist Luke James makes sex sound quite poetic on “Blow,” his first single of the new decade, 2020.

Khalid, Eleven | Track Review 🎵

Khalid returns with a pleasant urban contemporary single in “Eleven,” but offers nothing groundbreaking or brand-new.

Halsey, You should be sad | Track Review 🎵

On “You should be sad,” the country/folk-flavored, sixth advance single from MANIC, Halsey is filled with scorn – mad as hell.

Future, Life is Good | Track Review 🎵

Future, assisted by his buddy, Drake, are so-so at best on their first collaboration of the new decade, “Life is Good.”

John Legend, Conversations in the Dark | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-winning R&B singer/songwriter John Legend returns with his first single of the new decade, the elite “Conversations in the Dark.”
