Conan Gray, Kid Krow | Album Review 💿

Conan Gray impresses on his full-length debut album, Kid Krow, showing off both compelling vocal and songwriting skills.

Nearly five years after unleashing The Original High, Adam Lambert returns with an electrifying, fourth studio album, Velvet.

Megan Thee Stallion remains entertaining and unapologetic on Suga, though loses some steam on its more melodic moments.

Grammy-winning R&B singer/songwriter John Legend continues to keep soul alive and well on “Actions,” his second single of 2020.

Two years after releasing his EP, My Dear Melancholy, The Weeknd returns with a truly compelling fourth studio album, After Hours.

On his surprise album Eternal Atake, Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Uzi Vert delivers his fair share of intriguing, if often shallow moments.

With marijuana-driven single “Bammer,” rapper Wiz Khalifa, assisted by LA producer Mustard, drops one of his catchiest songs in years.

R&B standout Teyana Taylor shines on thoughtful and transcendent-minded single, “We Got Love,” featuring Ms. Lauryn Hill.

Following a respectable, if safe debut LP, Niall Horan takes a big, mature step forward on his sophomore LP, Heartbreak Weather.

Filled with attitude (and swear words), rising R&B singer Kiana Ledé proves she’s the total package on slow jam, “Forfeit.,” featuring Lucky Daye.

Despite delaying her sophomore album, Kehlani returns with an alluring new single, her second of 2020, “Toxic.”

In advance of his 7th studio LP, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, Luke Bryan releases a 4th promo single, the ‘drink-heavy’ “One Margarita.”
