~ 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


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.

Logic, 1-800-273-8255 | Track Review

Logic, assisted by Alessia Cara and Khalid, delivers a meaningful message on “1-800-273-8255,” the third single from his third studio album, ‘Everybody.’

DJ Khaled returns with another star-studded hit, “I’m the One” featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Wayne.

Lord Huron, The Night We Met | Track Review 🎵

Lord Huron gets a boost thanks to “The Night We Met” from sophomore album, Strange Trails. The single appears on the Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why.

DRAM, Gilligan | Track Review 🎵

D.R.A.M. returns with a new single, “Gilligan,” featuring Juicy J and A$AP Rocky. On “Gilligan,” he moves away from singing.

Big Boi, Mic Jack | Track Review 🎵

Big Boi delivers a hip-hop track, “Mic Jack,” than can easily be mistaken for a hit intended for the dance floor. Adam Levine guests on the groovy single.

Omarion, BDY ON ME | Track Review 🎵

Omarion has difficulty carving space in a cool urban contemporary market with his cliché new single, “BDY ON ME.”
