2020 | The Musical Hype

Contradash, blocked | Track Review 🎵

Up and coming artist contradash delivers an intriguing single exploring heartbreak with “blocked,” the follow-up to his debut single, “yo-yo.”

Rising pop singer Madison Beer exhibits strong vocals and awesome personality on her first single of 2020, “Good in Goodbye.”

Rising queer pop artist Gia Woods shines on her short, sweet, and sassy bop, “HUNGRY.” Safe to say, she’s “not hungry, b*tch.”

With his first solo single of 2020, A Boogie wit da Hoodie proclaims himself “King of My City,” playing up clichés rather being innovative.

After the underwhelming “Yummy,” Justin Bieber taps Kehlani for the sensual, urban-pop single, “Get Me.” It’s respectable, not game changing.

Hayley Williams, best known as the front woman of Paramore, delivers a compelling solo debut single with “Simmer.”

“Awesome Songs That Tickled My Fancy in January 2020” features songs by Alicia Keys, Conan Gray, John Legend, Mac Miller & Ozzy Osbourne.

Pop/R&B singer-songwriter Ali Gatie delivers a pleasant, relatable, and well-rounded record with “What If I Told You That I Love You.”

Queer alt-pop musician Chaz Cardigan brings hella energy on his first single of 2020, “Not OK!” which highlights mental health.

Dublin, Ireland alternative collective Inhaler delivers a fast-paced, energetic, and entertaining single with “We Have to Move On.”

Yo Gotti delivers an extremely familiar script on his brutally honest, sexed-up, unapologetic banger, “H.O.E. (Heaven on Earth).”

It seems like nothing is going to keep Puerto Rican rapper Iann Dior from shining on single “Good Day” which is short but pretty sweet.
