~ 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.

Billie Eilish, “No Time to Die” | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-winning alternative pop musician Billie Eilish delivers another awesome James Bond song with the haunting ballad, “No Time to Die.”

Sam Smith, To Die For | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-winning pop singer/songwriter Sam Smith delivers another memorable gem with the relatable, thoughtful record, “To Die For.”

Lil Mosey, Blueberry Faygo | Track Review 🎵

Pacific Northwest teen rapper Lil Mosey delivers a lush, certified bop with his catchy, confident single, “Blueberry Faygo.”

Jeremy Zucker, Always, I’ll Care | Track Review 🎵

New Jersey pop musician Jeremy Zucker drops a short but incredibly sweet, relatable, and thoughtful pop single with “Always, I’ll Care.”

G-Eazy, Still Be Friends | Track Review 🎵

The always confident G-Eazy, enlists Tory Lanez & Tyga for the enjoyable, sex-driven banger, “Still Be Friends.”

Trippie Redd, YELL OH | Track Review 🎵

Trippie Redd enlists Young Thug for “YELL OH,” an empty, totally classless banger that relies way too much on sex to fuel its fire.

Khalid, Know Your Worth | Track Review 🎵

R&B artist Khalid collaborates with Disclosure once more for “Know Your Worth.” The results are respectable, not game changing.

Niall Horan, No Judgement | Track Review 🎵

Niall Horan delivers a respectable single with “No Judgement,” but he fails to be truly dynamic, exciting, or exhibit innovative spirit.

Anne-Marie, Birthday | Track Review 🎵

No, “Birthday” won’t change your life, but Anne-Marie is certainly liberated and relatable on the tongue-n-cheek pop single.

Nicki Minaj, Yikes | Track Review 🎵

Although she is retiring, Nicki Minaj delivers a ‘short, but sweet’ trap banger with “Yikes.” She’s not the least bit apologetic.
