2020 music reviews | The Musical Hype

Trippie Redd, YELL OH | Track Review 🎵

Trippie Redd enlists Young Thug for “YELL OH,” an empty, totally classless banger that relies way too much on sex to fuel its fire.

R&B artist Khalid collaborates with Disclosure once more for “Know Your Worth.” The results are respectable, not game changing.

Niall Horan delivers a respectable single with “No Judgement,” but he fails to be truly dynamic, exciting, or exhibit innovative spirit.

No, “Birthday” won’t change your life, but Anne-Marie is certainly liberated and relatable on the tongue-n-cheek pop single.

Although she is retiring, Nicki Minaj delivers a ‘short, but sweet’ trap banger with “Yikes.” She’s not the least bit apologetic.

Aussie pop collective 5 Seconds of Summer delivers a thought-provoking message on “No Shame,” the third advance single from CALM.

Joji surprises with his first brand-new single of 2020, “Run,” which embraces an alternative sound, contrasting his previous music.

Grammy-nominated rapper Meek Mill continues his hot start to 2020 with his second single, “Believe,” featuring Justin Timberlake.

Lil Wayne has his share of moments (and bangers) on his surprise 2020 album, Funeral. Even so, it could’ve benefited from some edits.

16-year-old Australian rapper The Kid LAROI enlists 17-year-old rapper Lil Tecca for the melodic banger, “Diva.”

Blunt & unapologetic R&B artist K. Michelle remains true to herself on her first album post-Atlantic Records, All Monsters are Humans.

On the relatively brief but potent “Value,” A$AP Ferg continues to do what he does best – flex hard like a boss and drop surefire bangers.
