PARTYNEXTDOOR - $ome $exy $ongs 4 U
40

Yeah this is just beyond basic and even lame of what I could have expected. Some good production but not very enjoyable

Edit: Yeah this is still trash but like NOKIA and CN TOWER are absolute bangers for this year. Not the best in terms of lyric and message but for the vibe tbh

Cleo Sol - Rose In The Dark
80

I feel very rewarded with checking Cleo Sol after knowing her for so many features with Little Simz, and she definitely did not disappoint. Soul-Filling, peaceful, and comforting are the best ways to describe this album. It really is a peaceful time that rewards you with a voice that emanates love and that displays the realness within her songs.

Amy Winehouse - Frank
78

Decided to check her debut album instead of Back to Black and i think it was a good decision. It is a solid album that delves into personal moments she encountered as well as other topics. Amy Winehouse is very direct in many of her songs seeming right for her personality and brings for a fun listening experience. Her mix of jazz and r&b also bring that memorable sound of the 2000's. And obviously her voice is iconic, really 1 of 1 bringing an impactful storytelling.

Earl Sweatshirt - solace
80

Really but really interesting ep by Earl Sweatshirt. It is the first time that I listened to him so it took me a few listens to settle in. But in the productive side, the splitting is so well marked by the beat switches and paired up with his lyricism it really has been the most direct and transparent demonstration of the sense of being depressed. Ive never been depressed but something about the haunting piano loop, or the screeching near part 3 really encapsulate the feeling. And even if each ... read more

Monsune - Tradition
79

Really wish bro would go back to singing but still happy he is out there producing! Tradition is an EP that on the literal sense reflects the traditions and values held from your culture and he mixes that really well in this collection of songs. His voice is very striking as it can capture a lot of strength but then he can flip it to make a gentle and soft sound and this allows him to make Jade and Outta my Mind the best two songs in the ep in my opinion. Outta My Mind is super well structured ... read more

Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar - The Hillbillies
83

Fun and Giggles at its best

Lô Borges - Lô Borges
80

Lô Borges presents an album that brings of a lot of new sounds that were starting to be displayed and straying away from the Bossa Nova that had been the foundation of a lot of the Música Popular Brasileira. Borges does a great job at it with tracks like Calibre, Aos Barões and Tôda Essa Água that really show his skills with the guitar. And honestly this whole album as short as it is, it creates this feeling of fluidity and all the songs bring you through the ... read more

Disclosure - Latch
88

I usually thought this song was alright and just another 2010's pop hit but looking back at it I was completely wrong. The bridges and the build ups to the chorus are so heavenly and addictive, and at full blast it makes for a beautiful listening experience.

Sampha - Process
86

Process is such a touching experience and heart to heart moment Sampha offers with sharing his journey through the collected grief of mainly her mother but also of other circumstances. The production was done super well and compliments to Sampha's voice that is beautiful and really gets to you with his ability to recreate the moment he is going through. Blood On Me is honestly the best song i have heard as of now of Sampha and drives you in a journey that the drums dictate the constant ... read more

Moe Shop - Moe Moe
74

Super catchy and with some amazing production that is super funky and keeps you on the hook. Honestly just super fun to listen to, Magic and Notice pack a punch of flavors in the sound and are structured super well.

Magdalena Bay - Killshot
90

Cant believe it took me 5 years to discover this song... this song got me dancing and making me feel sexy on a monday morning man

Yuno Miles - 'This Is Not The Album (EP)
56

Bro actually locked in and gave us one more banger before the year ended. It still is very mediocre and has the gimmick of being rap that is funny and not with a lot of sense but there is an actual foundation and direction in this ep which is super nice to see. Honestly that is some listenable stuff Yuno is doing and makes me curious to see what else he makes

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
70

Never heard anything neither knew about Billy Idol and the album gave me an alright feeling of him. The album contains many catchy synthesizers like the ones in Daytime Drama and The Dead Next Door but there is many parts of the album that feel repetitive and even forgettable. At some points the album got slow but obviously it still keeps a good level. Eyes Without a Face and The Dead Next Door were on another level for me and stood out the most. Overall, pretty alright thats all.

Soda Stereo - Soda Stereo
84

Honestly, the self titled album Soda Stereo is such a great start for such a great band. A band that started out being inspired by The Beatles, The Cure and other Agentinian bands such as Almendra and Spinetta. Being some of the first bands in Argentina to bring this mix of new wave and ska sound and having such a range of songs, they do such a good job in bringing an experience that is electric and always has you hooked. Sobredosis de TV, Un Misil En Mi Placard and Tele-Ka surely highlight ... read more

Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist - 1985
90

The Flow vocally and on the guitar makes for a great entrance. Its just impeccable honestly

Pescado Rabioso - Artaud
87

Artaud es definitivamente un album que representa la grandeza en la musica argentina. Honestamente como un gran fan del Rock Argentino, sabia que era mandatorio visitar a un album tan bueno y influyente. De momentos de reflexion o seriedad a explosiones de Rock, es un album que encapsula muchas emociones y sonidos que lo hacen un viaje muy esplendido. Simplemente magia y grandeza del Flaco.

jschlatt - A Very 1999 Christmas
77

This is definitely going into the Christmas rotation now. But actually like this Album is surprisingly super good! Very well arranged, even brings new spins to classics that have been remade a million times and Jschlatt just has a very good voice.

Sampha - Dual
83

Such an amazing second EP by Sampha that went to show the potential he had in store. His voice and production are so unique and it feels like something so peaceful that you can take in and be surrounded by. Indecision and Can't get Close are my favorites.

Nia Archives - Silence Is Loud
66

Very interesting concept that has been a first for me. But, not a big fan of the repetitiveness.

Kendrick Lamar - GNX
83

A great perspective of the West Coast Rap. Very fun and intriguing album to get into when expecting nothing but getting a great mix of sounds.

Dodger Blue, Luther and Heart pt.6 will definitely be in my daily rotation
