Justin Bieber - Justice
17

The fact that Pitchfork gave a higher rating to this garbage than they did to St. Vincent’s Daddy’s home is upsetting me…

Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR
70

Olivia Rodrigo’s first album is a chaotic and energetic result of olivia’s fan girl, indie kid adolescent years.

Sour feels like a coming of age movie in so many ways that it’s almost impossible not to feel like you’re stuck inside one while listening to it. From the chaotic and messy intro “brutal” in which the singer let what’s been on her mind for a long time now in a relatable way that resonated with most of us teenagers, to the ballads that came ... read more

St. Vincent - Daddy's Home
90

An exuberant release from St. Vincent, that stands as one of the best pieces of music she has ever composed.

With a bombastic first track, Annie gives start to a hell of a world in which she evokes the sound of the past to tell a story fresh out the oven. In Daddy’s home Clark is at her most vulnerable and intimate, without living behind the sassy and bold persona she has created over the past few years, with releases such as MASSEDUCTION and Strange mercy, which are both great albums ... read more

For Those I Love - For Those I Love
77

Part of the beauty of it relays on how overwhelming it is. And it takes time to get used to the world of sound offer in this piece of music.

Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club
83

Lana del Rey has achieved everything she seemed to want. In her sixth studio album Norman fucking Rockwell! She reached her highest peak to date. Giving her fans and the critics what they’ve been craving for her all this time: An album that is both elegant and inventive.

In her seventh studio album, however, she went for a more inside-the-box album, in which she somehow gave a step backwards while also giving a step forward, creating an album that feels like a ghost from a past-future ... read more

Selena Gomez - Revelación
56

I’m still waiting for Selena to come back to where she was going in the period of time she released songs like ‘bad liar’ and ‘Fetish’, which, for me, are the highlights of Selena’s career. But instead she decided to come up with this small bunch of Spanish songs full of basic and overused ideas and sound that are just too cliche and common to be paid even the slightest of attentions.

Its not that the music is bad, but in a field crowded with similar-sounded ... read more

C. Tangana - El Madrileño
84

Yes! Yes! YES!

One of my most anticipated albums of the year, and God he did not disappoint. I have had my eyes on C. Tangana for a while now, and I’ve been expecting him to release an album that will break expectations.

After his debut projects in the fields of hip/hop and urbano music, he finally came to understanding with his own self and released an album full of the music he was meant to create. Spanish folk and flamenco mixed in a nice blend with Reggaeton, Salsa and pop that is ... read more

Los Tres - Fome
95

In my journey through music in my own language I came across this masterpiece of an album. Fome it’s a project that its almost essential to understand the Latin American rock scenery. With their version of 90 rock-grunge, Los Tres created a timeless album that is as captivating as it is chaotic.

With strange but beautiful lyricism and provoking atmosphere Fome stands as a great moment for Latin Rock And an outstanding Chilean contribution to music in general.

Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club
96

Outstanding Latin music at it's best. Fun and catchy lyrics mixed with that Cuban charm that I just can't get enough of. BVSC is proof that less is more.

Monocle - Outer Sunset
88

There's just something about this album that is so captivating and bewitching. An atmospheric experience, simply delightful to enjoy.

Julieta Venegas - Bueninvento
95

Latino America's sweetheart Julieta Venegas reinvented her sound and became a rock goddess in her monumental second LP.

As much as i love my childhood crush and the cotton candy sound i first knew her from, when i was a little kid, with not a single clue about what music really was, and as much as i love her exploring of Mexican folk music or her chaotic, it girl era, it doesn't get better than Bueninvento, her indie-rock girl moment was an astonishingly good momentum for her admirable career ... read more

Grimes - This story is dedicated to all those cyberpunks who fight against injustice and corruption every day of their lives
82

Grimes's This story is dedicated to all those cyberpunks who fight against injustice and corruption every day of their lives! (purposely writing the complete name just to make this review longer) is a sick-minded, twisted and perverted compilation of songs. the result is this dark-dance-electronic album, which is every bit as obscure and otherworldly as grimes herself. taking us in this hour-long experience of an immersive extraterrestrial sick-beat runtime.

Miley Cyrus - Plastic Hearts
75

Fun!

So this is how I see It, there are two things happening in this album. In one side we get to see this caotic-unapologetic did of Miley that I've learned to like. Showing herself as powerful figure that doesn't need anyone but herself, delivering hit after hit after hit of the most fun rock and roll jams of the year. In the other hand, we get this vulnerable and clam side of Miley, appealing more for the relatedness with the listener, delivering ing more low-key songs, going back to that ... read more

Sevdaliza - Shabrang
86

beautiful and destructive.

Shabrang is that one melody you can't get out of your head when you're at your lowest. it feels like a constant pressure in your chest that gives you some sort of comfort. throughout each tracks we get to see a different side of life ad love through the lenses of the artist, even if its a cruel and chaotic one or a beautiful and comforting one.

Sevdaliza brought a new international take on the well known electronic field, giving us this sense of a foreign, lost ... read more

Ariana Grande - Positions
59

a little too comfortable, but she has the spirit.

pop superstar Ariana Grande has return with a new project that, critically speaking, isn't an instant success. the production isn't something new or innovative, yet it feels... pleasant and comfy.

Positions comes in a time when Ariana is at her highest. she's been around for almost a decade now, and she's made quite the name by herself in the music industry. but, Did we actually needed Positions? watching it from the only possible ... read more

FKA twigs - MAGDALENE
94

sacred and profane.

Magdalene is that ethereal line that separates earth with, well, whatever is beyond. its the desire that comes after the conflict.

FKA twigs developed quite a taste for the profane, and created this ancient, pagan love story that is as modern and archaic as time itself. and it feels like this has been around for centuries. twigs puts herself in the middle of this relationship, making it seem like she's taking part on it, but at the same time she's just observing from a ... read more

Angel Olsen - All Mirrors
90

triumphant and painfully melancholic.

All mirrors comes as the result of accepting yourself and accepting the fact that everything and everyone comes to an end. its the awareness that comes after the reflection.

Angel Olsen created this timeless tale of sorrow and lament, and invited us to take part on her suffering, presenting us this world of self destruction and recovery. Capturing the beauty of sadness on 11 well crafted tracks.
with her uniquely, beautiful, enchanting voice she took us ... read more
