Not feeling all the remixes per se. While some of them work out quite well (Girl, so confusing / Apple / 365 / I think about it all the time), there are quite a few that don’t really do the original versions justice. Some just feel unnecessary or take away from what made the originals great in the first place.

Nothing too crazy, just a few solid tracks with signature Benny performance and some nice features.

Another solid album by Kali Uchis, showing off her signature dreamy, sultry sound. Her vocals are as captivating as ever, floating over the lush, atmospheric production. The album feels very cohesive, creating a defined sound where R&B, soul, and Latin influences are mixed very well.

The production is great, rich in texture and warmth, perfectly complementing her voice and the album’s sensual, almost ethereal vibe. Red Moon In Venus solidifies Kali Uchis as one of the finest and ... read more

Atrocious. This album shouldn’t even exist. The Black Eyed Peas’ shift towards Latin music feels more like a calculated move to chase streams rather than a genuine artistic evolution. The entire project lacks originality and comes across as a desperate attempt to stay relevant in today’s music landscape.

While the Black Eyed Peas were once a dominant force in the late 2000s and early 2010s, ELEVATION proves that their golden era is long gone. The production is uninspired, the ... read more

This album feels like the perfect soundtrack for a laid-back sunset drive through San Francisco. The Great Escape captures that smooth, luxurious vibe that Larry June has mastered over the years, and with The Alchemist behind the pannel, the production is top-tier, as you'd expect. Alchemist delivers a collection of soulful beats, rich with elegant samples and crisp drum patterns, giving the project a warm, organic ;) feel.

Larry's delivery is as smooth and laid-back as ever, simply ... read more

After already delivering two strong albums with Magic and Magic 2, Nas proves once again that he remains as sharp as ever with Magic 3. This album marks the final chapter of his collaborative run with Hit-Boy, and they close things out in style. The chemistry between the two is undeniable, with Hit-Boy lacing Nas with beats that mix modern production with classic East Coast aesthetics really well. Lyrically, Nas continues to drop wisdom, reflecting on his legacy, life experiences, and the state ... read more

Just like the first Magic, Magic 2 once again showcases Nas' longevity. His rapping, delivery, and flows remain as energetic and motivated as ever, proving why he’s one of the greatest of all time. The production is strong, complementing his lyricism and storytelling. While it doesn’t always reach the heights of the first installment, it’s still a great listen. This album just shows again that Nas isn't bound to any single era—he’s been doing this at a ... read more

I don’t know why I put myself through listening to 1 hour and 18 minutes of Jason Derulo, but after just a handful of songs, I was already pretty bored and annoyed. Nu King is one of the most dull, lifeless, and empty records released in a while—completely bland with nothing to keep you awake.

Though I respect his hustle to drop every song as a single, the album itself barely has anything worthwhile. Most tracks sound lifeless, generic, and uninspired—just the most standard pop rap/trap tracks with nothing to offer at all.

A tough album to sit through. At 21 songs, it drags on without much to keep you engaged. The project feels empty, lacking the energy or creativity to justify its length.

Well, if this is J.Lo now... it’s just not really entertaining. The themes of the album wear thin way too quickly, making it feel repetitive and uninspired. There’s little variation, and the whole project ends up feeling dull and forgettable.

If anyone were to ask me, "When are you going to listen to the new Joyner Lucas record?" my answer would be: Not Now, I’m Busy. The album just isn't anything special—it’s corny, repetitive, and loses its appeal quickly. It drags on for way too long, with little to keep you engaged. At an hour in length, it overstays its welcome without offering much that stands out.

After the steady improvements on their last two albums, Little Deuce Coupe feels like a bit of a step back — not in quality necessarily, but more in depth. While still an enjoyable listen, the focus here is fully back on cars, cruising, and again that carefree California fun. It’s definitely a return to the lighter, easy-going vibe of their early sound, moving away from the more melancholic and emotional moments that made Surfer Girl stand out.

That said, Brian’s production ... read more

After two fun, light-hearted surf rock albums, The Beach Boys really stepped things up with Surfer Girl. To me, this is such an underrated record — easily their best one up to this point, and one that already hints at the brilliance they’d reach later on. It’s got some of my all-time favourite Beach Boys songs. Tracks like Surfer Girl, The Surfer Moon, In My Room, and Your Summer Dream are just gorgeous. They sound so warm and comforting, with these beautiful, tender melodies ... read more

With Surfin' U.S.A., The Beach Boys took a noticeable step up from their debut album, refining their sound and showing improvement in songwriting. While the album still sounds very youthful, light-hearted, and still sticks primarily to surf rock and its common themes, The Beach Boys deliver some absolutely beautiful melodies and warm harmonies again, with Surfin' U.S.A., Lonely Sea and Shut Down being the main highlights for me. Especially Lonely Sea is such a beautiful song that ... read more

One of the most talented artists in the game right now, Anderson .Paak absolutely crushes it on Malibu. The album is funky as fuck, with Anderson sliding over every track so smoothly. The grooves are infectious, and he delivers some of the best choruses of his career—each song is not just catchy, but impossible to resist. Malibu feels like an album that was deliberately made to make you move, smile, and just dance and vibe out. From start to finish, everything Anderson touches turns into ... read more

Who would've thought Lil Yachty had this kind of project in him? Known more for his mumble rap and SoundCloud era vibes, Yachty completely surprises with Let's Start Here. Taking a bold turn toward psychedelic prog-rock, he delivers an unexpected and truly outstanding album. With clear influences from Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, and others, Yachty effortlessly adapts his flow to this rich, atmospheric production. It’s a bold step away from his usual sound, and it’s honestly ... read more

Did anyone really expect this album to be good? It's atrociousl. Built purely on TikTok hype, it feels lackluster, the production feels hollow, and the whole thing reeks of an industry plant trying to capitalise on trends rather than offering anything original. It's hard to find anything redeeming here.

This album feels completely empty. It’s as generic as they come, offering nothing at all. The heavy autotuning takes away from Shakira’s natural talent, making the whole thing feel lazy and uninspired. The songs lack any real emotion, leaving behind a dull and forgettable experience. It’s a far cry from the energetic and dynamic Shakira we know and love. Just a very uninspired attempt overall.

Another Taylor Swift-adept, with songwriting and production that feel as uninspired as Taylor's most recent work. The album lacks any personality, and feels like it’s trying to capture a sound that’s already been done so many times. There's a lack of individuality here—Gracie's personality feels absent, and the tracks just blend together into forgettable background music. It's hard to see what sets her apart from Taylor Swift and the sea of similar artists.
