2020 | The Musical Hype

The Chicks, Gaslighter | Album Review 💿

The Chicks – formerly the Dixie Chicks – make a fierce return with a divorce-fueled, comeback album for the ages, Gaslighter.

Following ‘An Unorthodox Soundtrack to the United States,’ we deconstruct the huge list by region, focusing on The South Region (Pt. I).

For the 98th interview on The Musical Hype, we ‘get to know’ the colorfully named, duo (based in two different continents), Wham Bam!

On the authentic, honest, and raw “Through the Wire,” rapper/singer Rod Wave reflects upon a series of life changing events.

Though totally inoffensive & respectable, Kygo falls short of recapturing the magic of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do with It.”

For Interview #95, we gain some insight from the ‘modern metalcore’ band Myosotis, who hail from Hamburg, Germany.

Grammy-winner DJ Khaled taps Grammy-winner Drake for “POPSTAR,” a formulaic, lukewarm trap banger at best.

Troye Sivan excels at tackling matters of the heart on “Easy,” the second single from his EP, In a Dream, arriving August 21, 2020.

On his debut EP, LOOK AT THIS MESS IVE MADE, pop musician LoveLeo showcases incredible artistic potential.

On the 94th interview on The Musical Hype, we get the scoop from Chuck Creasy about none other than The Chuck Creasy Band.

Ultimately, Legends Never Die, the second major posthumous rap album of 2020, is an enjoyable, fitting & well-rounded LP from Juice WRLD.

With the help of Rick Ross, R&B singer August Alsina exposes his relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith on the blunt “Entanglements.”
