2018 | The Musical Hype

A R I Z O N A, ‘Summer Days’ | Track Review

A R I Z O N A – “the band, not the state” – returns with two new singles, including the readymade summer jam, “Summer Days.”

Despite the ‘in your face song title,’ neither Skooly or Lil Xan offer much craziness beyond clichés on the brief banger “Crazy S**t.”

Rising pop artist Maty Noyes returns with an eccentrically fun & naughty single, “Lava Lamps,” assisted superbly by up-and-comer, Beekwilder.

British alternative newcomer YUNGBLUD infuses “fresh blood” into the music game with his thrilling, eclectic debut album, ‘21st Century Liability.’

Rising boyband BROCKHAMPTON returns with “1999 WILDFIRE,” their first single following the exit of original member, Ameer Vann.

Jason Mraz exceeds expectations with “Might as Well Dance,” the eclectic single third advance single from his sixth studio album, ‘Know.’

Despite taking a “couple of Ls,” Lil Yachty has a banger on his hands with “Who Want the Smoke?”, featuring Cardi B and Offset.

Florida Georgia Line returns with their third single of 2018, ballad “Talk You Out of It.” The modus operandi is simple – action in the bedroom.

Following imprisonment, beloved Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill returns with an enjoyable, well-rounded EP, ‘Legends of Summer.’

Rising boy band Why Don’t We sing about bad communication in their fading relationships on their third single of 2018, “Talk.”

Iggy Azalea taps Tyga for “Kream,” the promo single from her forthcoming EP, ‘Survive the Summer.’ “Kream” is ultimately a ‘mixed bag.’

Max George, a member of the now defunct boy band The Wanted, releases his debut single, “Barcelona.” The results are positive, but not game changing.
