~ 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/hip-hop duo THEY. enlists R&B singer Jessie Reyez for their brief new single, “Broken.” It’s definitely a ‘vibe,’ but certainly not transcendent.

Tyga, ‘Dip’ | Track Review
