while probably this is my least favourite Porter' s record (it's close to Worlds btw) there isn't a single song that I think it's not great and this just shows how great of an artist Porter truly is. My only complain is that the tracklisting seems kinda strange to me but not much of a deal. Btw I don't understand why some people hate Year of the Cup, I genuinely think it's a great track, maybe not as good as others such as the singles or the last four tracks but ... read more
Dua Lipa - a catchy debut
With his debut album Dua Lipa shows her amazing voice to the world with a simple but catchy record.
The LP is nothing crazy, just a bunch of summer vibe pop songs. However this doesn't make it a bad project.
Obviously the high moments are not super high but, in my opinion, there aren't many lows neither.
The highlights, Be the One, Blow Your Mind (Mwah) and New Rules shine among the rest also thanks to a better overall production.
Dua Lipa is a project ... read more
Civilisation II - a short temporal journey
Civilisation II is the only project I have listened from Kero Kero Bonito as of right now.
The short ep is divided into three section, one for each song, those being the past, the present and the future.
The past is represented by The Princess and the Clock, a song about escapism.

Track 2 is the present, reflecting about ... read more
Stargazing - a bunch of repetitive radio songs
With his 4 songs EP, the Norwegian producer Kygo fails to deliver a memorable and layered project.
Almost every song on the record has such basic productions and many of them are similiar to each other.
While certainly gaining the success of the radios thanks to well known names as features, Kygo doesn't evolve and keeps doing the same kind of songs over and over.
This Town is the only one to seem at least different from the rest and ... read more
Good Faith - the rise of Madeon
With his second full length LP, the French producer Madeon has so much to offer and improves a lot since his first record.
One of the biggest differences from his debut is for sure the consistency of Good Faith that, with only a 35 minutes span, keeps the listener entartained in every single moment.
Also what really stands out here is the amazing and carefully crafted production with spectacular drums sounds and fills.
Madeon couldn't forget to bring ... read more
SCARING THEHOES: DLC PACK - keeping scaring the hoes
After shocking the underground rap community with their full length album SCARING THE HOES, JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown decided to drop a short EP containing tracks that didn't make it to the final cut.
The main aim of this small project remains the same as the original one: having sounds that are too weird and incovenient for mainstream music. Of course they succeded but the quality of these four songs, while still being carefully ... read more
