I'll be honest, I was drawn in by the cover, and my intuition didn't let me down—this is a masterful album that strikes you with its gloomy atmosphere, majestic performance, and masterful sound work.

It's hard to pigeonhole Hayley Fohr's music into a single specific genre. Most of the instrumentals are built on dark experimental folk. But on "Halo On The Inside," this foundation is overlaid with elements from adjacent styles—neo-psychedelia, dark wave, ... read more

A guide on how to rap

Красивые инструменталы с проникновенным текстом об ответственности и отцовстве и вариативным исполнением делают свое дело. Ложка дёгтя в бочке мёда - аутро песен. Почти все треки резко прерываются и руинят вовлечение в материал. В остальном, образцовая работа.

Нравится, ... read more

Респект Бэйсик Бою. Не у каждого хватит смелости заявить, что он сам проебал карьеру, что проявил малодушие в определенных моментах жизни, что ранил и калечил души близких людей, но самое главное – респект за веру. Веру в светлое будущее, в надежду, которая пока теплится ... read more

The release is well-crafted and of solid quality. There are many interesting sound choices and subtle details that don’t immediately catch your attention, but...

...the album doesn’t grab me. The music simply doesn’t resonate with me, although I acknowledge its strengths. Maybe I’ll come to appreciate it over time.

С точки зрения продюсирования альбом «Алматинский джаз» невероятно сильный и качественный. M’Dee с продюсерами провели мощнейшую работу, уходя в разные стилевые направления, но при этом сохраняя цельность и единство постановки. Если вы читаете название и думаете, ... read more

В системе моих координат Джизус всегда ассоциировался с адептами посредственного клауд-рэпа и флексового трэпа, неспособных в интересный и запоминающийся материал. Конечно, позже Джизус сменил вектор творчества и примерил на себя рок-звучание, которое также не зацепило ... read more

The first reason I liked the album is that it’s not academic. Despite the album’s description prominently featuring the "soul" genre, the record perfectly balances on the edge of several stylistic directions. The album’s arrangement is heterogeneous. The Caldwell family managed to weave elements of gripping gospel (backing vocal chants), vibrant ’80s disco (guitar riffs), and groovy funk (drum parts and bass lines) into bright, sunny soul. Thanks to this, the ... read more

Как и предшественник, «STORYTELL 2» – насыщенный музыкальный хаос, который исследует огромное количество стилевых направлений, а также содержит шикарный текст, направленный как на анализ воспоминаний из прошлой жизни и раннего творчества, так и на более глобальные ... read more

A sweet, sensual album that exudes a sense of home and love. The record has no noticeable flaws, but it doesn’t reach for the stars either. A solid, dense album without any standout highlights.

Einaudi’s songs have an incredible ability to win over any listener, even the most hardened classical music hater. His piano soars high and constantly draws the listener in. His music makes you forget, even if only for an hour, the chaos surrounding you. Problems dissolve, life pauses, and you hear only elegant piano, unfolding in collaboration with piercing violin and viola, otherworldly cello, and barely noticeable synthesizers.

I received an immense amount of positive emotions and ... read more

Aitch once again proves that he is one of the best rappers on the British hip-hop scene. Good selection of instrumentals, excellent work with rap delivery, you can find interesting textual discoveries. But...

...the album isn't perfect. It suffers from its runtime, and it also lacks proper tracklist development. There are enough filler tracks, listening to which you don't understand how they got here.

Otherwise, the album is decent, deserves listening

The inspiration for "Rarely Do I Dream" came from home video tapes found in the parental house after the tour dedicated to the album "Heaven Is a Junkyard." The entire record is imbued with these vivid childhood memories. Trevor embarks on a long introspective journey through moments of childhood and youth, unearthing forgotten scenes from the recesses of memory. Alongside happy lyrics about childhood and home, Trevor also reflects on his father's death and lost years, ... read more

Ethel is probably my biggest discovery of the year. Her January mixtape "Perverts" completely broke me down, and the album "Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You" finished me off. It's impossible not to fall in love with her music.

«безмятежность.exe» – безграничная любовь Адиля к музыке и послание самому себе, что он счастлив только тогда, когда работает. Это личный альбом Скриптонита, который выполнен безукоризненно. Впечатляющая работа со звуком, необъятный арсенал технических скиллов, и, ... read more

Big Sad has shown roughly the same level throughout his career – consistently solid. He has a sense of music, charisma, and style, but he lacks variety. I understand that it's hard to stay diverse within the West Coast identity, but I'd like to see some experimentation.

It's not bad; on the contrary, it's a very strong and solid rap album, but such works usually don't exceed expectations. We're waiting for new releases from Big Sad and hoping for changes.

Пластинка чудесная. Она глубокая, искренняя, кристально чистая, лишённая нарочитой пафосности и картонности. Каждую секунд веришь Гере, его переживаниям и боли; каждую секунду наслаждаешься шедевральным музыкальным ландшафтом и чувственным исполнением ... read more

"DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS" is a beautiful musical work that represents and showcases all the beauty and grandeur of Puerto Rico. Bad Bunny has truly outdone himself; it's almost impossible to find faults with the album. Fresh production, diverse performances, and beautiful lyrics filled both with praise for the homeland and reflections on emotional pain. A wonderful release!

Объективно: релиз написан профессионально и со вкусом. Пластинка слушается налегке и оставляет приятное послевкусие. Инструменталы – шедевр с множеством контрастов и акцентов. Исполнено на уровне.

Субъективно: релиз не очень зашёл, кроме треков "Ты выбираешь ... read more
