Ashley Singh, 17 | Track Review 🎵

Indie pop has just opened its door to the fabulous new release from Ashley Singh. ’17’ is a track with heaps of charisma and a sharp melody.

On “On My Own,” Shamir delivers a compelling rock anthem where he expresses being sufficient being on his own, sans love, post-breakup.

Deceased rapper Pop Smoke is unapologetic and tough AF on “Make it Rain,” the promo single from his forthcoming, posthumous debut album.

JAHMED joins G-Eazy and Drew Love on the remix of “Love is Gone,” a ‘woke’ protest song that originally appeared on The Beautiful & Damned.

Although totally unexpected, Lil Baby delivers an insightful, totally worthwhile protest anthem with “The Bigger Picture.”

In the midst of a global pandemic, Charli XCX delivers a brief, but creative and intriguing ‘quarantine’ pop album with how i’m feeling now.

Grammy-winning Americana collective Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit release one of the very best albums of 2020, Reunions.

Meg Lawrenson returns with her new single ‘Use My Body’. For me, possibly the best single from Meg in recent times. Read the full review.

George James: It is not very often that I came across a track quite like ‘We’re All Going 2 Die’ by No Serial Killer. Read our review here.

George James: I am not too familiar with this Complex’s backlog, but one thing I know is how great his new track “Where We Came From” is.

Run the Jewels returns with their fourth studio album, the incredibly consistent, well-rounded, and socially conscious RTJ4.

Terrace Martin and Denzel Curry, assisted by Kamasi Washington, G Perico, and Daylyt, deliver a powerful protest track with “Pig Feet.”
