Adam Melchor, What a Damn Shame | Track Review 🎵

Singer/songwriter Adam Melchor delivers surefire excellence on his short, sweet, and creative single, “What a Damn Shame.”

Although there’s star power on “Sharing Locations,” the collab between Meek Mill, Lil Durk & Lil Baby still leaves something to be desired.

Iconic heavy metal/hard rock band Iron Maiden continues to compel on “Stratego,” the second single from their 17th LP, Senjutsu.

Josh Katz and Badflower continue to impress on the explicitly titled “F*kboi,” the third advance single from This is How the World Ends.

L.A. alt-rock band Badflower don’t miss a beat on “Don’t Hate Me,” the second single from sophomore LP, This is How the World Ends.

Ed Sheeran shines on “Visiting Hours” the second single from = (Equals) written in remembrance of late music exec, Michael Gudinski.

Pop singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes and producer Tainy make a fantastic team on their flavorful, sexy, summery single, “Summer of Love.”

Colombian singer KAROL G and Dutch DJ/producer Tiësto make a formidable team on their brief, infectious dance single, “Don’t Be Shy.”

Rapper Kodak Black drops a respectable trap banger with “Before I Go,” assisted by fellow rapper/singer Rod Wave.

“INFERNO” is a glorious, worthwhile, and ear-catching two-and-a-quarter minutes courtesy of Sub Urban and Bella Poarch.

Elton John, Dua Lipa, and PNAU gives us the groovy dance-pop bop that we didn’t even know we needed with “Cold Heart – PNAU Remix.”

Anthony Hamilton continues to a career-long flex on “Love is the New Black,” the soulful title track from his first album in five years.
