~ 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.

Meek Mill, ‘Glow Up’ | Track Review

Meek Mill kicks off ‘Meek Mill season’ with his new single, “Glow Up.” “Glow Up” is a good turn-up track, but by no means the second coming.

Washed Out, ‘Get Lost’ | Track Review

Washed Out – aka Ernest Greene – returns after a four-year hiatus with a groovy, new single, “Get Lost.” As always, the vibe dominates “Get Lost.”

Halsey, ‘Strangers’ | Track Review

Halsey returns with the third single from her sophomore album ‘hopeless fountain kingdom,’ “Strangers.” She is assisted by Lauren Jauregui (Fifth Harmony).

Mali Music, ‘My Life’ | Track Review

On his single “My Life,” Mali Music offers another excellent example of a secular song with positive, uplifting, and transcendent messaging.

Halsey, Eyes Closed | Track Review 🎵

Ahead of ‘hopeless fountain kingdom,’ Halsey returns with a second single, “Eyes Closed.” “Eyes Closed” is ‘good’ at best, not particularly great.

Martin Garrix & Troye Sivan, There for You | Track Review 🎵

Rising DJ Martin Garrix and alt-pop sensation Troye Sivan collaborate on “There for You,” a pleasant, if ‘lite’ EDM single.

Future, Mask Off [Remix] | Track Review 🎵

Future and Kendrick Lamar combine forces on a compelling remix of “Mask Off,” a top-10 hit from Future’s self-titled album.

Nick Jonas, ‘Remember I Told You’ | Track Review

Nick Jonas, Anne-Marie, and Mike Posner join for a fun, groovy single, “Remember I Told You.” It’s not profound, but certainly enjoyable.

Mali Music, ‘Gonna Be Alright’ | Track Review

Mali Music delivers a well-written, well-rounded song with single, “Gonna Be Alright.” “Gonna Be Alright” sets the tone for 'The Transition of Mali.'

Greer, ‘Satisfy’ | Track Review

20-year-old up-and-coming pop artist Greer Wilson shows incredible potential on his sensually, satisfying single, “Satisfy.”
