Green Day, Here Comes the Shock | Track Review 🎵

Even with their best days behind them, Grammy-winning rock trio Green Day delivers a brief, enjoyable single with “Here Comes the Shock.”

DJ, producer & remixer Purple Disco Machine, enlists electronic duo The Knocks and R&B singer Moss Kena for the fantastic “Fireworks.”

Canadian DJ/Producer KAYTRANADA delivers quite the groovy, vibe-laden instrumental gem with his first single of 2021, “Caution.”

British R&B singer Mahalia, assisted by Rico Nasty, shines on “Jealous,” a simultaneously cool and aggressive joint that packs quite a punch.

CJ brings ample energy on Loyalty Over Royalty, but lacks profundity, failing to bring distinct artistry or transcendence to the table.

Ariana Grande releases Positions (Deluxe), adding five additional songs, expanding her sixth studio album to a total of 19 tracks.

Brent Faiyaz shines on the socially conscious, spiritually driven “Eden,” appearing on Black History Always / Music for the Movement Vol. 2.

Ascending pop artist Still Woozy returns with his first single of 2021, the chill, intriguing, and totally ear catching “Rocky.”

Pop standout Conan Gray absolutely slays on “Overdrive,” his first single of 2021. The record is a certified B-O-P.

AJR remain polarizing to some degree, but “Way Less Sad” is well-produced, relative enjoyable, and ultimately, inoffensive.

24kGolden continues to build momentum leading up to the release of his debut album (El Dorado) with a potent third single, “3, 2, 1.”

Grammy-nominated R&B singer Lucky Daye shines on Table for Two, a short but sweet collection of duets with female R&B standouts.
