Alec Benjamin, Six Feet Apart | Track Review 🎵

On “Six Feet Apart,” Alec Benjamin releases a song that superbly captures the emotional effects of COVID-19 in regard to social distancing.

On “Bad Bitch Walk,” Aaron Avis serves up a thrilling, personal & vulnerable record about feelings surrounding coming out as bisexual.

Grammy-winning pop superstar Kelly Clarkson, a bop unto herself, delivers another bop of song with the uplifting “I Dare You.”

Grammy-nominated R&B artist Kehlani tries her best to tune out the haters on her enjoyable, well-rounded single, “Everybody Business.”

Sven Gamsky, better known as Still Woozy, drops a short but sweet bop with “Window,” which is cool and chill, filled with sexy vibes.

Despite waiting an agonizing eight years, Fiona Apple delivers an instant classic with her fifth studio album, Fetch the Bolt Cutters.

Rapper Playboi Carti brings energy on his first single “@MEH,” but otherwise delivers a ‘meh’ performance at best.

Grammy winner Kelly Rowland returns with a sexy new R&B single, “Coffee.” While respectable, it lacks the wow factor.

Singer/songwriter Declan McKenna comes through once again on “The Key to Life on Earth,” the second single from his sophomore LP, Zeros.

Alternative collective Wallows, led by singer/actor Dylan Minnette, return with a bang in 2020 with the surefire, infectious bop, “OK.”

Joji delivers “Gimme Love,” a third impressive single released in advance of his highly anticipated sophomore album, Nectar.

Pop powerhouses Sam Smith and Demi Lovato collaborate on “I’m Ready,” a relatable record where both seek to take a risk on love.
