Ghostbusters [2016 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (Review)

Ghostbusters (2016 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is very much a soundtrack – it has some moments and it also has some flaws.

All in all, Chicago rapper/singer Dreezy shows immense potential throughout the course of her debut album No Hard Feelings.

Michael Kiwanuka assembles a superb effort with sophomore LP Love & Hate. The singing, songwriting, and production are top-notch.

West Coast rapper Schoolboy Q delivers a dark and intriguing effort on his highly anticipated fourth album, ‘Blank Face LP.’

Although ‘California’ is a respectable, enjoyable comeback from Blink-182, the punk-pop veterans miss former frontman, Tom DeLonge.

Aussie singer Grace shows tremendous potential on her debut, FMA, led by breakthrough single, “You Don’t Own Me.”

The Avett Brothers aren’t nearly as melancholy as title ‘True Sadness’ suggests, delivering a fine effort with their latest LP.

British singer/songwriter Jake Bugg Shows Willingness to Experiment on his third studio album, On My One, which encompasses many styles.

gnash showcases exceptional potential on ‘us.’ Artistically, he has a lot to offer + he’s NOT like everybody else.

17-year old British musician Declan McKenna proves to be an incredibly gifted singer/songwriter on his mature, debut EP, LIAR.

Greyson Chance embraces the bag of pop tricks on, ‘Somewhere Over My Head,’ including slick production, infusing urban cues, and profanity.

Soul musician Charles Bradley drops his third album of relentless soul music, ‘Changes.’ The results are consistent and alluring.
