~ Song Reviews 🎵 ~

Ah, welcome to the page that is dedicated solely to Single & Track reviews. Singles and tracks of various styles are evaluated in this section of The Musical Hype – We don’t discriminate. Track reviews are also available on the home page.

More often than not, the single reviews on the site tend to follow a format that includes an intro paragraph with background information, a body, comprised of 1-2 paragraphs of analysis, and a concluding paragraph that ‘puts a cap’ on things. Each track also receives a star rating, on a scale of 0 – 5 (½ stars are used as well), that is visible at the beginning and ending of the review.

5 out of 5 stars = MASTERPIECE

4.5 out of 5 stars = NEAR MASTERPIECE

4 out of 5 stars = EXCELLENT

3.5 out of 5 stars = VERY GOOD

3 out of 5 stars = AVERAGE / GOOD

2.5 out of 5 stars = BELOW AVERAGE

2 out of 5 stars = MEDIOCRE

1.5 out of 5 stars, 1 out of 5 stars, 0.5 out of 5 stars, 0 out of 5 stars = BAD

Track reviews generally run a minimum of 250 words with many running north of 300 words. So, music enthusiasts everywhere – Musical Hypeians worldwide – get your fix of single & track reviews down below!!!

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 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.”

Caleb De Casper, Good Boy | Track Review 🎵

Caleb De Casper outdoes himself on single “Good Boy,” an infectious, danceable gem about a fatal same-sex attraction.

Lil Yachty, X Men | Track Review 🎵

“X Men,” the fourth single from ‘Teenage Emotions’ marks an improvement from newbie Lil Yachty, but still falls short of the glory.

Bleachers continues to build the anticipation for their sophomore album, Gone Now with its third single, “Everybody Lost Somebody.”

Rich Brian, Keith Ape & XXXTENTACION, Gospel | Track Review 🎵

Indonesian rapper Rich Chigga, South Korean rapper Keith Ape, and Floridian rapper XXXTentacion drop a malicious, hellish sounding banger in “Gospel.”

Katy Perry, Swish Swish | Track Review 🎵

Katy Perry continues to search for momentum leading into her 5th LP, Witness. Unfortunately, “Swish Swish,” Ft. Nicki Minaj, falls short.
