2020 | The Musical Hype

Niall Horan, Heartbreak Weather | Album Review 💿

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.”

Hitting the #60 mark in interviews, The Musical Hype gets the goods on rising London / Milton Keynes pop punk band, Livonia.

Tyga teams up with Megan Thee Stallion for “FREAK,” one of the nastiest, shallowest, sexed-up bangers of 2020.

Grammy-nominated pop artist Ellie Goulding returns an entertaining first single of 2020, “Worry About Me,” featuring blackbear.

Lil Yachty and DaBaby collaborate with Drake on “Oprah’s Bank Account,” a drippy, sexually driven cut that ultimately lacks profundity.

Brandon Flowers and The Killers make a compelling return with “Caution,” the promo single from their 6th studio LP, Imploding the Mirage.

“11 Empowering Songs About Loving Yourself” features music courtesy of Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber, Kesha, Louis Tomlinson & Myylo.

On her enjoyable, though lengthy 3rd studio LP, Chilombo, Jhené Aiko explores feelings in the aftermath of a breakup & works toward healing.

Alec Benjamin releases “Oh My God,” another thoughtfully penned and superbly performed single appearing on his debut LP, These Two Windows.
