HRVY, ‘I Wish You Were Here’ | Track Review

Rising British pop musician HRVY returns with a relatable, love-yearning single, “I Wish You Were Here.”

Rita Ora, ‘Let You Love Me’ | Track Review

In advance of her sophomore album, ‘Phoenix,’ Rita Ora drops an enjoyable, if only quasi-memorable single, “Let You Love Me.”

Tyler, the Creator, ‘Peach Fuzz’ | Track Review

Although “Peach Fuzz” is short in length in a number of ways, Tyler, the Creator continues to serve up some worthwhile bars.

11 Songs Where the Hate is Real | Playlist

“11 Songs Where the Hate is Real” features music courtesy of 21 Savage, The Chainsmokers, Gnash, Kelsea Ballerini, and Korn among others.

Lil Uzi Vert, ‘New Patek’ | Track Review

Lil Uzi Vert shows promise on his ultra-lux single “New Patek.” Still, it has its flaws, including a long run time, misogynistic overkill, and rap clichés.   

The Chainsmokers, ‘This Feeling’ | Track Review

The Chainsmokers tap an unlikely collaborator in country artist Kelsea Ballerini for their single, “This Feeling.” The results are a pleasant surprise.

Lana Del Rey, Venice Bitch | Track Review

Lana Del Rey gives listeners a serious ‘vibe’ with her second new single of 2018, “Venice Bitch.” As colorful as it is, the 10-min duration is a bit much.

Lil Peep & XXXTENTACION, ‘Falling Down’ | Track Review

While “Falling Down” does an excellent job of reminiscing back to the strengths of the late Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION, it lacks in both depth and structure.  

Machine Gun Kelly, BINGE | Album Review

Machine Gun Kelly smartly capitalizes off his “Rap Devil” resurgence with his brief album, ‘BINGE.’ The problem? It’s pretty flipping bad.

13 Songs That Focus on the World | Playlist

“13 Songs That Focus on the World” features music courtesy of Arctic Monkeys, Five Finger Death Punch, Kenny Chesney, Lana Del Rey, and Rich the Kid.
