Black Atlass, Dream Awake | Album Review 💿

Canadian-bred, LA-based R&B musician Black Atlass delivers an enjoyable, sexy, and well-rounded third album with Dream Awake.

Home State are an American rock band but are delving into the pop scene with their new track “Call Me/ Leave Me.”

“Racks 2 Skinny” may bring nothing ‘brand-new’ to the table ultimately, but Migos delivers another entertaining trap banger nonetheless.

Following the infectious “What a Man Gotta Do,” Grammy-nominated pop collective Jonas Brothers return with single “X,” featuring Karol G.

Hayley Williams, best known as the front woman of Grammy-winning alternative band Paramore, delivers a superb debut LP with Petals for Armor.

Canadian rapper/singer Tory Lanez gets steamy AF on “Temperature Rising,” his short but sweet debut single post-Interscope.

Following the enjoyable & respectable “Never Worn White,” Katy Perry continues her upward trajectory with her 2nd single of 2020, “Daisies.”

Danny Smart combines country with rock perfectly. He has all the qualities of a major country artist, but he also has a Rocky edge.

Zero 9:36 (Matthew Cullen) brings ample energy and quite the vibe on his aggressive, confident rap-rock single, “The End.”

Rising pop singer YEBBA, already a Grammy winner, shines on her first single of 2020, “Distance,” set to appear on her debut album.

Actor and singer Ben Platt delivers the perfect song, “So Will I,” for times such as these – the devastating coronavirus pandemic.

Sia delivers an authentic vocal performance on the thoughtful, uplifting single, “Saved My Life,” co-written by Dua Lipa and Greg Kurstin.
