~ 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.

Wiz Khalifa, Bammer | Track Review 🎵

With marijuana-driven single “Bammer,” rapper Wiz Khalifa, assisted by LA producer Mustard, drops one of his catchiest songs in years.

Teyana Taylor, We Got Love | Track Review 🎵

R&B standout Teyana Taylor shines on thoughtful and transcendent-minded single, “We Got Love,” featuring Ms. Lauryn Hill.

Kiana Ledé, Forfeit. | Track Review 🎵

Filled with attitude (and swear words), rising R&B singer Kiana Ledé proves she’s the total package on slow jam, “Forfeit.,” featuring Lucky Daye.

Kehlani, Toxic | Track Review 🎵

Despite delaying her sophomore album, Kehlani returns with an alluring new single, her second of 2020, “Toxic.”

Luke Bryan, One Margarita | Track Review 🎵

In advance of his 7th studio LP, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, Luke Bryan releases a 4th promo single, the ‘drink-heavy’ “One Margarita.”

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.”
