~ 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.

Bad Bunny, ‘MIA’ | Track Review

Single “MIA” could give Puerto Rican Latin trap / reggaetón musician Bad Bunny the ‘come-up’ to break through into the mainstream.  He’s assisted by Drake.

Trey Songz, ‘How Dat Sound’ | Track Review

After more than a decade in the game, Trey Songz continues to sing about the thing that made him famous on “How Dat Sound” – sex.

Jonas Blue, Liam Payne & Lennon Stella, ‘Polaroid’ | Track Review

English DJ/producer Jonas Blue enlists English singer Liam Payne and Canadian, Nashville-based musician Lennon Stella for his latest hit single, “Polaroid.”

Alessia Cara, ‘Trust My Lonely’ | Track Review

Grammy-winning, Canadian pop singer/songwriter Alessia Cara remains honest, open, and ‘true to self’ on her latest single, “Trust Me Lonely.”

Lil Pump, ‘Multi Millionaire’ | Track Review

Lil Pump taps Lil Uzi Vert for his new, flex-heavy single, “Multi Millionaire.” Safe to say, ‘transcendence’ isn’t part of the modus operandi in the least.

Charli XCX & Troye Sivan, ‘1999’ | Track Review

British pop standout Charli XCX and South African-Australian pop standout Troye Sivan ‘bring the heat’ on their feel-good, reminiscent single, “1999.”

Joji, ‘Can’t Get Over You’ | Track Review

88rising alternative R&B standout Joji keeps things incredibly ‘short and sweet’ on the Clams Casino-produced single, “Can’t Get Over You.”

6ix9ine, ‘STOOPID’ | Track Review

For as “lit” as 6ix9ine proclaims himself to be on “STOOPID,” the single, assisted by Bobby Shmurda, is empty and rather forgettable.

Ella Mai, ‘Whatchamacallit’ | Track Review

Rising R&B artist Ella Mai, assisted by ubiquitous Grammy-winning R&B artist Chris Brown, shines on the ‘cheating’ single, “Whatchamacallit.”

MAX, ‘Worship’ | Track Review

Not encouraging or promoting ‘false idolatry’, but rising New York pop artist MAX continues to impress on his latest single, “Worship.”
