~ 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.

Lil Xan, Watch Me Fall | Track Review 🎵

Lil Xan continues to annoy and irritate with his first single of 2019, “Watch Me Fall.” Supposedly deeper, there’s plenty of room for growth.

Lana Del Rey, Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have – But I Have It | Track Review 🎵

Lana Del Rey delivers an expressive ballad with single, “Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have – But I Have It.”

Future, Crushed Up | Track Review 🎵

Future continues to execute a familiar game-plan on his single, “Crushed Up.” It’s good (enough), but nothing groundbreaking.

Backstreet Boys, No Place | Track Review 🎵

Veteran boy band Backstreet Boys return with “No Place,” the third advance single from their highly-anticipated 2019 album, ‘DNA.’

Chris Brown, Undecided | Track Review 🎵

Chris Brown is ‘indecisive’ regarding a committed relationship or hooking up and continuing to ‘play the field’ on single, “Undecided.”

Mike Posner, Move On | Track Review 🎵

Mike Posner plays to his strengths on “Move On,” the third single from his much-anticipated 2019 LP, ‘A Real Good Kid.’

Lizzo, Juice | Track Review 🎵

Rising Minneapolis pop musician Lizzo exudes the utmost confidence on her first brand-new single of 2019, “Juice.”

D’Angelo, Unshaken | Track Review 🎵

After a four-year hiatus, Grammy-winning neo-soul artist D’Angelo returns with an understated but incredibly soulful single, “Unshaken.”

Beekwilder, Fridge Broke | Track Review 🎵

Rising Dutch musician Sam Beekwilder ‘warms up’ 2019 with a quirky, incredibly captivating single, “Fridge Broke.”

Lil Pump, Butterfly Doors | Track Review 🎵

Teen rapper Lil Pump continues to fall short on his latest, utterly forgettable single, “Butterfly Doors.” No transcendence to be found.
