Chaka Khan, Hello Happiness | Album Review 💿

R&B icon Chaka Khan comes roaring back after a lengthy hiatus with a hella funky, feel-good album of originals, HELLO HAPPINESS.

As Migos continue to oversaturate themselves, Offset misses an opportunity to ‘right the ship’ on the totally forgettable single, “Red Room.”

Grammy-nominated pop artist Bebe Rexha returns with a ‘short, but pretty sweet’ new single, “Last Hurrah,” her first new single of 2019.

Grammy-winning Russian-German DJ/producer Zedd enlists Katy Perry for his next potential big-time dance hit, “365.”

The magical pairing of Cardi B and Bruno Mars delivers more musical deliciousness with stellar hip-hop/urban contemporary single, “Please Me.”

Bro country duo Florida Georgia Line delivers an enjoyable, if sometimes corny fourth studio album with Can’t Say I Ain’t Country.

Khalid returns with a super sleek new urban contemporary single, “Talk,” produced by Grammy-nominated electronic duo, Disclosure.

After delaying the release of her third studio album, Meghan Trainor returns with a love-centric, six-song EP, ‘The Love Train.’

Exceptionally gifted pop singer Ariana Grande continues her impressive run on her fifth studio album, ‘Thank U, Next,’ among her very best.

Alternative pop brother trio AJR returns with “100 Bad Days,” their first new single of 2019, set to appear on their forthcoming album.

Despite being underrated throughout his career, Mike Posner comes off incredibly authentic & mature throughout his 3rd LP, ‘A Real Good Kid.’

Rising alternative musician Peter Manos shows immense potential (and vibes) on his second single of 2019, and third overall, “You Don’t Know Me.”
