Harry… what was that?
Almost 4 years since Harry’s House, Harry Styles came back with his 4th studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. Unfortunately, this is Harry’s weakest project to date.

This album suffers from 2 major problems: Harry’s writing, which seems to get worse with every project he releases since Fine Line (which is still his best work to date), and the production here, which feels really toothless and uninteresting on many tracks. Combine ... read more

Imagine having the AOTY of 2015 and 2025 with the same album

This album is what made me so interested in Carly’s music, and it is probably her second best project after the legendary E•MO•TION. The funny thing about this album is that it’s considered a B side (or a “sister record”) to The Loneliest Time, yet it’s more cohesive and complete than The A side record.

The Loveliest Time still features the classic synth-pop and dance-pop style of production Carly usually Incorporates into her songs, but I think the ... read more

After 2 years of covid and quarantine Carly has returned with The Loneliest Time. This album discusses Carly’s usual topics of love and relationships during that period, while also talking about isolation and loneliness.

The Loneliest Time is kind of all over the place because it has many different styles of songs. There are more traditional synth-pop cuts like Surrender My Heart and Talking To Yourself, among some more laidback and slower tunes like Western Wind and Go Find Yourself Or ... read more

Carly continues with her tradition of releasing the B sides companion records, this time for her 2019 album Dedicated.

Honestly, I don’t have a ton to say about this release, it really is just a B side record that features a few highlights. The opener, This Love Isn’t Crazy is really great. The production and vocals on this track are really good and it’s a great way to open the album. Summer Love is super good as well, it feels super cool and nostalgic in a way, living up to ... read more

Dedicated is Carly’s 4th LP, and it sounds pretty different from anything else she released up to that point in her career, which is definitely a good thing that shows her versatility.

The songs on this album are still marked by Carly’s great songwriting and the usual topics of relationships, love, intimacy, and insecurities. The first four tracks are a great example of that: Julien, No Drug Like Me, Now That I Found You, and Want You in My Room are all very well written and ... read more

When the album is so good that even the B sides are better then some artists’ best works 😭

The side B of E•MO•TION is pretty great, all of the songs are really good and a few of them are even better than some tracks on the original album.

However, this project in no way feels as complete and ambitious as the A side and very much feels like a B side record. This doesn’t mean this album is bad in any stretch though.

There are definitely a few highlights here. Higher ... read more

Funny story about this album is that when I first heard it a couple of years ago, I didn’t think much of it and never revisited it except for the big singles, but after I did a dive into Carly’s Discog earlier this year, and heard it again, I was absolutely stunned.

Carly has managed to create an absolute pop masterpiece here, an extremely tight, ambitious, cohesive and E•MO•TIONally captivating record. The production across the album is fantastic and polished in the ... read more

Kiss serves as a nice evolution from Carly’s debut album. This album’s style of synth and dance pop suits Carly much better, and there are a few great tracks here. I particularly love the title track, which reminds me of some of the better cuts on E•MO•TION, with its great melody and delivery. I also enjoyed Curiosity, More Than A Memory and the deluxe track Drive. Of course, I can’t talk about this record without mentioning Call Me Maybe, which is, to this day, ... read more

In honor of the 10 year anniversary of E•MO•TION I wanted to go back and review every Carly Rae Jepsen album, starting with her debut, Tug Of War.

This is a bit of a rough start. This album is very different compared to the rest of Carly’s catalog, it leans more to the folk-pop style, instead of the synth-pop and dance-pop styles of sounds that Carly is known for, and I don’t think this style is for her.

I found most songs here to sound the same and not being very ... read more

When TTPD was released, I thought its release week was chaotic, but it was nothing compared to what has been going on this past week. Can we all just take a deep breath and remember this is just simple pop music? There really is no need for crazy conspiracies in order to understand what was the aim of this album, which is to be the complete antithesis of the very long and wordy TTPD, a more simple and straightforward pop.

I must say that I liked the majority of this album, it’s far from ... read more

Man’s Best Friend really feels like a sister album to Short n’ Sweet. It carries the same cheeky and playful tone of that album, and I personally don’t mind it at all. Even though there are similar, I still think this project stands on its own, and is overall similar in quality to its older sister.

As I mentioned, the writing here is very similar to Short n’ Sweet, Sabrina is very talented when it comes to crafting sarcastic and playful hits, and if anything, this album ... read more

In honor of Man’s Best Friend’s release, I wanted to go back to it’s older sister for a quick review. Short n’ Sweet was an insanely successful album that launched Sabrina into a whole new level of fame and popularity. Personally, I was’t checking out Sabrina’s music before this era, but this album really changed that.

Short n’ Sweet is really successful at showcasing Sabrina’s funny and cheeky personality, its filled with songs that don’t ... read more

idk where to even start with this review. Don’t Click Play is Ava’s 3rd album and sadly it’s easily her worst one yet.

This whole rollout wasn’t good, and very weird. Ava released two singles last year that were originally intended for this project, but both ended up being just droplets, and the lead was changed to Lost Your Faith. Then 2 more singles were released, followed by a complete silence from Ava for a few weeks until the release of this album.

Which leads me ... read more

I’ll preface this review by saying that I’ve never been that interested in Conan’s music. I knew a few of his songs but was never that invested to listen to a full project of his. However, in this era, I was really intrigued by the singles leading to this album, so I decided to give it a chance, and I’m glad I did.

Wishbone is mostly revolved around a relationship Conan had with a “straight” guy, and the unavoidable breakup that followed it. I think there ... read more

Tate McRae’s third studio album is definitely the best project she has released up to this point, and a big step up for her as an artist.

In So Close to What, Tate took inspiration from pop stars of the early 2000s and the general sound of that era, and managed to create a pretty decent and cohesive pop record. She sounds really cool and charismatic here, and this persona seems to fit her very well.

As for album highlights, I have a few favorites. First of all, I really enjoyed all of ... read more

Harry’s House is Harry’s third album. Following the very successful Fine Line era, this album also brought Harry some great achievements, including even the Album of the Year award at the Grammys.

This album kind of frustrates me in a way because the production here is absolutely fantastic, potentially better than any other Harry album, but the lyrics can just suck on many of these tracks, and it really hurts the listening experience. Songs like Daylight, Music for a Sushi ... read more

Fine Line holds a special place for me. Listening to this album always makes me feel nostalgic for specific times and periods in my life. But putting that aside, this is definitely a great album that showed Harry’s creativity and ability to make fantastic pop hits, as well as more serious and introspective songs.

The production here is definitely one of the best things about this album. It’s fantastic and gives the record so much life and personality, and the mixing is great too. ... read more

Harry Styles’s debut is actually quite good. I never cared all that much about One Direction, but here I find Harry to be a bit more intriguing.

The production on the record is pretty great - I generally love the pop rock sound very much, and it’s done very tastefully here. The writing however, is not as great, and there are some cringe moments on this album, like the chorus on Woman, or some lines in Kiwi.

There is one main highlight here, and thats the lead single Sign Of The ... read more

Heaven & Hell is Ava Max’s debut album. The sound of this album is very reminiscent of early 2010’s pop music, and it includes some of Ava’s most popular songs to date.

This album is kind of a mess. On the one hand, I think the production here is very good and polished, and I really liked Ava’s vocals throughout the record. But on the other hand, the album lacks cohesion and concept, and the lyrics can be very questionable. This can create situations where there ... read more
