Ah, welcome to the reviews on The Musical Hype! Albums, EPs, and songs [singles + tracks] of various styles are evaluated here – we don’t discriminate! All reviews are also available on the home page.

~ 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.

Jeremih & Ty Dolla $ign, ‘The Light’ | Track Review

Jeremih and Ty Dolla $ign start the summer off right with the groovy, if shallow sex record, “The Light.” It’s not deep, but it’s certainly lit.
