Sam Smith, To Die For | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-winning pop singer/songwriter Sam Smith delivers another memorable gem with the relatable, thoughtful record, “To Die For.”

Grammy-nominated pop artist Kesha brings ample spirit, energy, and f-bombs on her colorful fourth studio album, High Road.

Pacific Northwest teen rapper Lil Mosey delivers a lush, certified bop with his catchy, confident single, “Blueberry Faygo.”

After being delayed more than a year, Meghan Trainor returns with her third studio album, Treat Myself, with so-so results.

New Jersey pop musician Jeremy Zucker drops a short but incredibly sweet, relatable, and thoughtful pop single with “Always, I’ll Care.”

The always confident G-Eazy, enlists Tory Lanez & Tyga for the enjoyable, sex-driven banger, “Still Be Friends.”

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.
