~ 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.

Sia, Satisfied | Track Review 🎵

Sia does a fabulous job covering “Satisfied,” which appears on the Hamilton Mixtape. She is assisted by Miguel and Queen Latifah.

Macklemore, Drug Dealer | Track Review 🎵

Macklemore delivers an exceptional, socially-relevant track about the dangers of prescription drug use on ‘Drug Dealer,’ featuring Ariana DeBoo.

Timeflies, Gravity | Track Review 🎵

Pop duo Timeflies return with a romantic new single, “Gravity.” Clearly, the M.O. is “falling in love.”

Fergie, Life Goes On | Track Review 🎵

Fergie continues to try to find her footing after a 10-year hiatus. “Life Goes On” channels “Big Girls Don’t Cry.”

DNCE, Be Mean | Track Review 🎵

Up-and-coming pop collective DNCE release one final single, “Be Mean,” ahead of issuing its self-titled, full-length debut LP.

The xx, On Hold | Track Review 🎵

The xx returns with an electrifying new single, “On Hold.” “On Hold” serves as the promo single from forthcoming album, I See You.

Highly Suspect, Serotonia | Track Review 🎵

Highly Suspect shines on single “Serotonia,” the first official single from their highly-anticipated sophomore album, 'The Boy Who Died Wolf.'

Highly Suspect, Little One | Track Review 🎵

“Little One” is a well-written, personal single from Johnny Stevens and Highly Suspect, released ahead of The Boy Who Died Wolf.

Future, Used to This | Track Review 🎵

Future and Drake miss the mark on latest collaboration, “Used to This.” Essentially, the single is an empty flex track that is mediocre at best.

Highly Suspect, Wolf | Track Review 🎵

Highly Suspect continue to shine on epic single “Wolf” ahead of the release of sophomore album, 'The Boy Who Died Wolf.'
