It's giving Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2... Very incoherent and random.
Once again, Miley delivers a timeless album, boldly raw and refreshingly experimental, that’s sure to leave a lasting mark on the music industry. Each track stands on its own, with a unique soul and style, clearly reflecting the dedication and artistry she poured into this project. AOTY 2025, without a doubt!
I absolutely love the production and the lyrics, they're both top-notch. However, the album as a whole feels a bit too uniform. While I appreciate that there's a clear theme, it’s so dominant throughout that it starts to feel repetitive and even a little overwhelming. Peacefield is a GREAT album openener btw!
Ranked as the 18th best album of all time on this site and hailed as one of the most important albums ever, I had high expectations going in. While I love the sounds and overall production, I just don’t quite understand the hype. Maybe it went over my head, which is why I’m giving it another listen in the near future.

I approached this album with really low expectations because of all the hate it got online since its release, but I was honestly surprised by how good some of the tracks are. The criticism feels so exaggerated and forced.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this and already have a few songs lined up for my playlists.
A tense and artfully constructed record that leans into distortion, atmosphere, and emotional release with precision. The production is bold and textured, creating a sound that feels both abrasive and controlled.
Jessie Ware never fails to amaze me. Her fifth album "That! Feels Good!" solidifies her reign as the queen of disco and funk, delivering yet another skipless masterpiece following "What's Your Pleasure?". With lush production, infectious grooves, and bold brass arrangements, she effortlessly blends sophistication with euphoria, making every track feel like a celebration.
WHAT?! How have I never listened to this before? The fact that she was the first commercially successful Black female artist in country music honestly makes me feel unwell. The racism and misogyny that Black artists, especially Black women, faced in a genre deeply influenced by African music is truly mind-blowing. "History can't be erased, oh ya ya." 😉
A bold and theatrical record that thrives on chaos, spectacle, and reinvention without losing control. The production is dynamic and layered, constantly shifting while maintaining a strong sense of direction. It balances intensity with precision, delivering a cohesive and exhilarating experience that leaves a lasting impact. Absolutely impressive! Gaga returns with her best work in the bag.

The atmosphere is dark yet accessible, driven by powerful dynamics and emotional weight. The vocal performance is commanding and expressive, carrying both vulnerability and force with precision.

A sensual and boundary-pushing record that blurs the line between vulnerability and control. The production feels fluid and intricate, creating an atmosphere that’s both intimate and otherworldly. It maintains a strong artistic vision throughout, even if its abstract approach may not fully connect on every listen.
Lena Chamamyan's "Shamat" is a truly captivating album, resonating deeply with me as it features songs I grew up listening to. The Syrian singer-songwriter is celebrated for her distinctive style, seamlessly blending jazz, Arabic folk music, and Western classical influences. With "Shamat", she beautifully highlights the rich cultural heritage of the Levant, showcasing its profound influence on contemporary music while staying true to her unique artistic vision.
I absolutely love the music, but there aren’t any “songs” or standout tracks and the album feels empty, which is intentional and perfectly aligns with its depressive vibe. Overall, it’s a good album, but it’s not something I see myself revisiting.
Jacob Collier showcases his unparalleled creativity in crafting MUSIC with this innovative album. It's a groundbreaking album that unquestionably deserves an Album of the Year nomination!
