~ 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.

Lana Del Rey, Venice Bitch | Track Review

Lana Del Rey gives listeners a serious ‘vibe’ with her second new single of 2018, “Venice Bitch.” As colorful as it is, the 10-min duration is a bit much.

Lil Baby & Gunna, ‘Drip Too Hard’ | Track Review

Rappers Lil Baby and Gunna combine for the brief, but utterly forgettable, ‘been there, done that’, flex banger, “Drip Too Hard.”

Jesse McCartney, ‘Wasted’ | Track Review

Jesse McCartney doesn’t reinvent the wheel on his single “Wasted,” but it’s definitely an enjoyable, fun, simple, and straightforward modern-pop record.
