Kings of Leon, Mechanical Bull | Album Review

On their highly-anticipated sixth album, ‘Mechanical Bull,’ Kings of Leon prove to the listeners that their latest project was worth the 3-year wait.

Controversial New York rapper 6ix9ine delivers one of the very worst albums of 2018 with his inept, totally substance-less debut album, ‘DUMMY BOY.’

Rising Puerto Rican Latin ‘trap-soul’ singer Bad Bunny shows plenty of potential on his enjoyable, highly-anticipated debut album, ‘X 100PRE.’

Americana, folk-rock singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile delivers a sensational sixth studio album with ‘By the Way, I Forgive You.’

Although East Atlanta rap standout Gucci Mane remains consistent on ‘Evil Genius,’ mixing up the script wouldn’t have hurt in the least.

British urban-pop artist ZAYN returns with an ambitious, if overly-long sophomore album with ICARUS FALLS.

Meek Mill makes an energetic, inspired fourth studio album with Championships, his first full-length release since being released from prison.

Following a three-year hiatus, Grammy-winning Canadian pop artist Alessia Cara comes back strong on her sophomore album, ‘The Pains of Growing.’

The 1975 delivers an interesting LP with ‘A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships’ that’s imperfect, but chocked-full of interesting ideas.

Although it’s ‘all over the place’ and runs a bit long, rapper, singer & producer Anderson .Paak still delivers a compelling third LP with ‘Oxnard.’

Traditional pop standout Michael Bublé remains consistent on his 2018 album, Love, featuring classics and a couple of brand-new songs.

The exemplification of a class act, not to mention consistency, veteran classical Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli shines bright on his 2018 album, ‘Sí.’
