~ 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.

The Vamps & Matoma, All Night | Track Review 🎵

British boy band The Vamps and Matoma have a hit on their hands with “All Night,” a single from The Vamps’ upcoming album, ‘Night & Day.’

Chris Brown, Privacy | Track Review 🎵

Chris Brown continues to exhibit complacency on single, “Privacy.” “Privacy” comes off as incredibly shallow, lacking any sense of progression artistically.

Lil Yachty, Bring it Back | Track Review 🎵

Lil Yachty completely misses the mark on “Bring it Back,” the third single released ahead of his debut album, ‘Teenage Emotions.’

Paramore, Told You So | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-winning collective Paramore returns with “Told You So,” the second single from their fifth studio album, After Laughter.

Niall Horan, Slow Hands | Track Review 🎵

“Slow Hands” is a step up from “This Town,” But Niall Horan could stand to take even more risks artistically.

JOEY-A, JUiCE | Track Review 🎵

Following his sexy debut single “PARiS,” Cleveland-bred musician JOEY-A returns with a second, equally sexy single, “JUiCE.”

Harry Styles, Sweet Creature | Track Review 🎵

Harry Styles returns with a second single, “Sweet Creature,” ahead of his debut album, ‘Harry Styles.’ “Sweet Creature” falls short of “Sign of the Times.”

Imagine Dragons, Thunder | Track Review 🎵

Imagine Dragons return with their second single of 2017, “Thunder.” “Thunder” gives the band another enjoyable, respectable record.

Fall Out Boy, Young and Menace | Track Review 🎵

Fall Out Boy returns with the oddest single of its career, “Young and Menace.” “Young and Menace” sets up M A N I A as an adventurous album.

Katy Perry, ‘Bon Appétit | Track Review

Katy Perry falls short of her typical glory on her sensual, second single, “Bon Appétit.” Despite being assisted by Migos, “Bon Appétit” lacks relevance.
