~ 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!!!

The Musical Hype


dvsn, Think About Me | Track Review 🎵

Canadian alternative R&B duo dvsn – Daniel Daley & Nineteen85 – return respectably with single, “Think About Me.”

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.
