~ 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.

R&B artist Jhené Aiko, known for her sensual music, gets quite raw on her first single of 2020, the sexed-up “P*$$Y Fairy (OTW).”

Lauv, Tattoos Together | Track Review 🎵

An infatuated Lauv potentially ‘jumps the gun’ by getting matching ink with his newfound love interest on “Tattoos Together.”

Sia delivers an empowering, inspirational, and uplifting record with “Original,” the promo single from the soundtrack for the film, Dolittle.

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.

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.
