Alec Benjamin, Oh My God | Track Review 🎵

Pop singer/songwriter Alec Benjamin releases a terrific fifth single, “Oh My God,” in advance of his debut LP, These Two Windows.

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

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.

Aussie pop collective 5 Seconds of Summer delivers a thought-provoking message on “No Shame,” the third advance single from CALM.

Justin Bieber enlists Quavo for “Intentions,” his 4th advance single from his highly anticipated comeback LP, Changes. The results are so-so.
