Juice WRLD, Legends Never Die | Album Review 💿

Ultimately, Legends Never Die, the second major posthumous rap album of 2020, is an enjoyable, fitting & well-rounded LP from Juice WRLD.

With the help of Rick Ross, R&B singer August Alsina exposes his relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith on the blunt “Entanglements.”

On The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy, August Alsina consistently sounds incredible vocally, but his third album itself is far too long.

Grammy-winning R&B artist H.E.R. takes a risk with the reggae-tinged “Do to Me” and ultimately reaps the benefits.

With “Are You Even Real?” Mercury Prize winning alternative musician James Blake delivers one of his most gorgeous offerings to date.

Kid Cudi and Eminem join forces for quite the hip-hop trip on single “The Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady.”

After a six-year hiatus, Aloe Blacc makes a strong comeback with the soulful, uplifting “My Way,” the promo single from All Love Everything.

The exuberant, uplifting single “Smile” is just what the doctor ordered for Grammy-nominated pop star Katy Perry as well as for her fans.

Summer Walker provides an incredibly chill vibe and pleasant listening experience on her EP, Life on Earth (EP), but could use more punch.

Tali Shear knocks it out of the park with “Fool”. A track which provides enormous relevance for anyone who has had a wobbly relationship.

Sufjan Stevens wows with “America,” the lengthy but incredibly deep and thoughtful promo single from his 2020 album, The Ascension.

Ellie Goulding drops the fourth track off of the EG.0 portion of her fourth studio album, Brightest Blue, “Slow Grenade” featuring Lauv.
