~ 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.

Logic, Homicide | Track Review

Grammy-nominated rapper Logic, assisted by the “Rap God” himself, Eminem, deliver electrifying flows throughout the course of the murderous “Homicide.”

Shawn Mendes, If I Can’t Have You | Track Review

Perhaps Shawn Mendes comes off a bit ‘cooler than usual’ on “If I Can’t Have You,” but the Canadian pop heartthrob still delivers a potential mega-hit.

DJ Snake & Sheck Wes, Enzo | Track Review

DJ Snake assembles a star-studded cast of rappers (Sheck Wes, Offset, 21 Savage and Gucci Mane) for a good old-fashioned trap banger, “Enzo.”

The Black Keys, Eagle Birds | Track Review

Despite being brief, The Black Keys pack quite a punch on “Eagle Birds,” the second single from the highly-anticipated album, “Let’s Rock.”

Marshmello, Light it Up | Track Review

Marshmello taps Tyga and Chris Brown for the incredibly short, ‘West Coast-tinged sex banger,’ “Light it Up.” As a record, ‘it is what it is.’

Lauv, Drugs & The Internet | Track Review 🎵

Rising pop musician Lauv shares his experiences with anxiety, depression, and the plight of fame on his superb new single, “Drugs & The Internet.”

YG, Stop Snitchin | Track Review

YG makes his point on “Stop Snitchin,” but the song itself and his overall argument are strengthened by the accompanying music video.

Taylor Swift, ME! | Track Review 🎵

Multi-Grammy winning pop superstar Taylor Swift returns with an infectious, surefire hit single, “ME!” Featuring Panic! At the Disco frontman, Brendon Urie.

Tyga, Goddamn | Track Review

Tyga keeps it incredibly ‘classy’ (said no one ever) on his explicitly-titled single, “Goddamn.” His focus? His drip and sex.

Thomas Rhett, Remember You Young | Track Review

Country musician Thomas Rhett shines on the reflective, thoughtful ballad “Remember You Young,” the fourth advance single from ‘Center Point Road.’
