Franz Ferdinand - The Human Fear

This feels like and old man still saying YOLO

Oklou - choke enough

Dreamy

Top Tracks: ict, choke enough, harvest sky

KAROL G - Tropicoqueta
58

Tropicoqueta

Vi que mucha gente se quejaba de que una colombiana hiciera sonidos caribeños y tropicales, como si eso fuera algún tipo de apropiación cultural... y sinceramente, me parece una estupidez.

Yo disfruté mucho más este experimento de Karol G que cualquiera de sus canciones de la era bichota. Ver cómo se salió (aunque sea un poco) del reguetón de siempre para probar con sonidos latinos (porque al final del día, ella ... read more

Bb trickz - 80'z
62

No es lo que esperaba de BB Trickz, pero para bien. La producción me sorprendió: es mucho más chill, más cuidada, casi artesanal.

Eso sí, muchas de las canciones parecen más maquetas que temas terminados. Hay ideas buenas, pero les falta desarrollo. Aun así, se siente como un experimento interesante, más íntimo y con otra cara de Trickz.

Top Tracks: Super, Tipz & Trickz, Not a Pretty Girl

Yaya Bey - do it afraid
71

I wasn’t totally sold with the opening track, but soon enough, the album settled into that chill vibe I absolutely adore. It’s smooth, laid-back, and feels like a warm afternoon breeze.

That said, I do think this record works better as background music rather than something for active, focused listening, more mood-setter than centerpiece. Still, there are definitely standout moments sprinkled throughout: little bops that catch your attention and make you smile.

It’s a cozy ... read more

Sex: The Album

There’s something oddly conceptual about this album. The whole album plays out like a sex scenario: it starts with a little flirtation, then things escalate in bed (ifywim), and by the end you’re lying there, cigarette in hand, reflecting on life and its beauty. It’s weird, but it works.

In some tracks, the whispery delivery works, it’s intimate, seductive, intriguing. But in others? I honestly just wanted the old man to back off a little.

It’s ... read more

Wet Leg - moisturizer
99

AWWWWWW <3

I remember listening to their debut, but honestly, I didn’t really connect with it. That’s why this new album caught me completely off guard, in the best way. It’s a falling-in-love album, and it’s adorable. Corny in the sweetest sense, and somehow refreshing.

There’s something so weirdly satisfying about hearing a band known for their irony lean into sincerity without losing their edge. And once I looked into the story behind the album, I ... read more

rusowsky - DAISY
66

OMG Las Ketchup!!!!

La producción está muy bien, eso no lo niego. Pero simplemente no conecté. No es que las canciones sean malas, solo que no son algo que volvería a escuchar por gusto. Se me hizo un disco muy estético pero sin alma para mí.
Lo único que agradezco profundamente es que me trajo de regreso a Las Ketchup, y eso ya es bastante.

Top Tracks: Johnny Glamour, pink + pink, SOPHIA

pablopablo - Canciones en Mí
84

Nepobaby? Si, Talentoso? También

Pues me gustó más que el de Guitarricadelafuente, la verdad. Tiene un rollito tranquilo, relajado, no es un disco que grite por atención pero se disfruta. No diré que todas las canciones brillan, pero tiene una atmósfera muy cálida que lo hace agradable.

Aquí me enteré que es hijo de Jorge Drexler (yo no soy experto en su papá, pero sé que es nombre grande). Me alegra escuchar que ... read more

Nilüfer Yanya - Dancing Shoes
80

Lovely

This album is like a cool breeze on a late summer evening. It’s chill, effortless, and strangely comforting. Nilüfer’s voice glides smoothly over laid-back instrumentals that make it feel like you’re just floating through a really good day. It may not be loud or flashy, but that’s its charm, quiet confidence done right. Definitely one for slow mornings or sunset walks.

Top Tracks: Where to Look, Cold Heart

Moving Mountains - Pruning of the Lower Limbs
89

Nostalgic

It feels nostalgic, I love this kind of music.

Top Tracks: Cars, Everyone Is Happy, and Nothing Is Good, Houses

Little Simz - Lotus
83

Cathartic

Lotus is a solid, cathartic listen. The instrumentals were a surprise, really cool and not what I expected at all. I kinda wish “Peace” had closed the album, it just felt like the perfect ending. Loved all the gossip behind this album.

Top Tracks: Blood, Lion, Enough

Mei Semones - Animaru
92

it's a Rat with Wings, I love it

I don’t even know what I just listened but I loved it

Top Tracks: Rat with Wings, Norwegian Shag, Sasayaku Sakebu

Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter
98

Damn you Isaiah

A friend of mine took the time to walk me through the whole lore of this album, and I have to say, it definitely made the experience better.

At first, I thought it would be much darker and more sinister than it actually sounded. I was even surprised at how beautiful and almost soothing the production felt. But then… I paid closer attention to the lyrics. Oh. It is dark. Like, really dark. Not in a horror-movie way, but in a slow, heavy, emotional way that creeps into ... read more

Kesha - .
81

what 143 wished it could be

This might not be like an amazing album ever, but you know what? I don’t care. I’m just happy Kesha's free, doing what she wants, and sounding genuinely happy again. That energy alone makes the album worth it.

The opening track? Instantly caught my attention, it was so risky and weird. I’m also LIVING for Joyride, I’m so glad it got a second life because that song goes hard. Some tracks definitely give 2010’s Katy Perry (not a bad ... read more

it's just not my thing

Top Tracks: 50,000 kilowatts, Drown All Your Witches

Hayden Pedigo - I'll Be Waving As You Drive Away
62

oh so there are no lyrics? Okay then

Top Tracks: Smoked, Houndstooth

Gelli Haha - Switcheroo
99

I can't believe I loved a song about someone peeing on a jar

Okay so… Switcheroo was my first time listening to Gelli HaHa and what a weird, fun surprise. This album doesn’t take itself too seriously, and honestly? That’s exactly what makes it so good.

It’s funny music (they say it themselves), but it’s also smartly produced. The whole thing is dripping in '80s synths and groove, with a kind of chaos that somehow works. It's wild, it’s ... read more

Buscabulla - Se Amaba Así
68

Meh.

Top Tracks: Mortal, Miraverahí, De Lejito

Annahstasia - Tether
100

Voice of a Goddess, pain of angels

It’s her voice. That’s it. That’s the review. Okay, not really, but seriously WOW.

I had never heard of Annahstasia before this. I think there’s an EP sitting in my "Listen Later" list collecting dust, and now I’m mad at myself for not pressing play sooner. Tether came out of nowhere and completely destroyed me (in the best way possible).

You might think an album this stripped-down would get monotonic, but come ... read more
