2020 music reviews | The Musical Hype

Mac Miller, Good News | Track Review

“Good News,” the promo single from the posthumous Mac Miller album, Circles, is well-produced, well-written, and hauntingly performed.

Yung Scuff & Jakkyboí continue to propel the emo-/punk-tinged hip-hop movement with their short, but sweet banger, “U DO U.”

London-based, alt-pop duo Oh Wonder drops a certified pop bop with “Happy,” the 4th single from 3rd album, No One Else Can Wear Your Crown.

Following the chilled-out bop “Over It,” melodic rapper Yung Pinch shines once more on “Beach Ballin’,” featuring blackbear.

London rock collective COUNTERFEIT. bring a heaping dose of sweet insanity on their first single of 2020, “The New Insane.”

Toronto musician Verzache (Zach Farache) delivers a unique record encompassing bottled-up thoughts and a blend of musical styles.

Kanye West delivers the gospel album he promised, via Jesus is Born, which arrives courtesy of the spirit-filled Sunday Service Choir.

Boy band Why Don’t We have a case of the “Chills,” and it’s not because of the cold. Blame it on matters of the heart.

Hailee Steinfeld starts 2020 off right with the superb, heartbroken pop ballad, “Wrong Direction.” Nothing wrong with the direction here.

Tennessee country artist Morgan Wallen manages to get buzzed and reminiscent simultaneously on the ‘alcoholic’ single, “This Bar.”

Pop artist Lauv is quite persuasive as he promotes making changes on “Changes,” the eighth record to appear on ~how I’m feeling~.

On his third EP, I’m a Nice Boy Too, Myylo delivers a blend of electrifying pop bops & pitch-perfect, must-hear, socially relevant gems.
