This Drake x PARTYNEXTDOOR collab album was long overdue, but unfortunately, it feels like it missed its moment. Had this dropped between 2014 and 2017, when their combined sound still felt fresh, it could have been something special. Instead, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U plays it safe, delivering exactly what you’d expect—some smooth, vibey tracks, but nothing that really stands out.

There are a few decent moments (such as Gimme A Hug, Nokia & Die Trying), and PND does his thing as ... read more

Faith is an amazing debut where George Michael proved the world that he was so much more than just the frontman of Wham. With this record, he did a great effort in reinventing himself, showing he could do pop, R&B, funk, and rock effortlessly while showcasing his incredible vocal talent.

There’s a certain boldness to Faith that makes it stand out. Michael wasn’t afraid to take risks, both musically and lyrically, tackling love, desire, and heartbreak with a maturity beyond his ... read more

What a voice, what a beautiful voice. Whitney Houston’s debut album is still one of the finest R&B records to this day. From the moment she starts singing, it’s goosebumps everywhere. Every note hits just right, every performance packed with emotion, power, and grace.

This album defined ’80s R&B and pop, containing both smooth ballads and infectious, feel-good anthems. Songs like How Will I Know, All at Once, and Greatest Love Of All showcase the full range of her ... read more

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT is Billie Eilish at her absolute best. It’s vulnerable, bold, and constantly evolving. This might just be her most personal album yet, and you can feel it in every note. She leans into her signature haunting melodies but isn’t afraid to throw in bold production twists that keep you hooked from start to finish.

Billie and Finneas once again prove they’re an unstoppable duo, creating a project that’s really cohesive and were every song feels like it ... read more

To me, there’s just something truly magical about Black Moses. Over the years, this album has become one of my favourites of all time, not just for its sheer beauty but for how personal and emotionally raw it feels. This is Isaac Hayes at his most vulnerable, creating a soulful journey through heartbreak, love, and longing. The double album format gives him the space to fully immerse listeners in his world and the story he wants to tell.

The production of Black Moses is nothing short of ... read more

RENAISSANCE is just simply amazing, it’s brilliant. With RENAISSANCE, Beyoncé brings club music back to its highest level, feeling like a true and worthy Renaissance. From start to finish, Beyoncé takes you through her club, dancing on infectious house beats, disco-inspired grooves, and electronic vibes with her signature vocal prowess. Each track feels like it was carefully crafted, paying homage to dance floors of the past while also pushing the genre forward and starting ... read more

Justice has once again proven why they’re one of the most innovative forces in electronic music with Hyperdrama. This album is an absolutely amazing comeback, a sonic thrill ride filled with electrifying energy and bold experimentation, exactly what we've come to expect from them. The French duo flawlessly executes another astonishing project filled with their signature drum patterns, heavy and hard-hitting beats, mesmerising synths, and funky basslines with fresh layers of depth. ... read more

A meeting of two legends who deliver exactly what you'd want from them: soulful, sample-driven beats from Pete Rock and sharp, reflective lyricism from Common. The Auditorium Vol. 1 feels as nostalgic as it feels fresh, with warm, boom-bap production, mature storytelling and great delivery. Common sounds rejuvenated again, riding Pete’s dusty loops with his unmatched wisdom and precision. While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel per se, it’s a masterclass in hip-hop ... read more

Classic WSG. Soulful samples, grimy beats, and that signature WSG delivery that makes every bar sound like a luxury crime scene. The production is rich with dusty loops and eerie atmospheres, giving it that raw, underground feel while still feeling polished in its own way. Gunn’s ad-libs and effortless flow carry the project, and the features blend seamlessly into his world. It’s a strong addition to his catalogue—gritty, stylish, and undeniably fly.

Some albums are great. Some are legendary. And then there’s Purple Rain — an album so transcendent, so utterly perfect, that calling it anything less than one of the greatest (or the greatest) of all time almost feels like an insult. With Purple Rain, Prince made an entire experience and sonic journey that’s inseparable from the film, yet powerful enough to stand on its own. Purple Rain is a full-blown cultural statement, a revolution (no pun intended), a moment in time that ... read more

This single makes me even more hyped for '12'. No doubt the album will be great.

Larry June, 2 Chainz, and The Alchemist just delivered one of the smoothest collab albums as of late, and it’s exactly what you’d hope for. Alchemist laces up soulful, dusty loops—gritty but luxurious—setting the perfect backdrop for Larry’s laid-back, effortless delivery and 2 Chainz’s animated, punchline-heavy presence.
The chemistry between the three is great and feels natural, resulting in an album perfect for a sunset drive. Nothing groundbreaking, but ... read more

I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU is a chaotic, high-energy ride through Peggy’s wild mind. It’s one of those albums that doesn’t just follow trends—it sets its own, from the production to the deeply raw and emotional lyrics. The whole project is like a blend of rage, vulnerability, and wit, wrapped in some of the most innovative and unusual beats you’ll hear.
The production is intense, glitchy, and unpredictable, matching the heavy themes Peggy explores—identity, ... read more

The director's cut of I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU is like a deeper, rawer version of the original album. It’s not just more music but a fresh look at the ideas Peggy had, with tracks that didn’t make the final cut but still pack a punch. Some of them showcase Peggy’s brilliant experimental mind, pushing boundaries further and rapping over some of the most unusual production—but it still works.
A lot of these "leftover" tracks feel like moments where he just ... read more

Electrifying. If the album ends up with this as its main sound, I'm all ears.

The Grand Finale

So, after 14 years, has The Weeknd come to an end? What a ride it has been—from an unknown underground alternative R&B artist to one of the biggest and most successful pop stars of all time. Abel Tesfaye has proven himself as among the greatest, a visionary artist that has shaped and influenced modern music in ways few could have imagined when he first emerged in 2011.

From the dark, enigmatic mystique of House of Balloons to the electronic and 80s-inspired pop ... read more

Kiss Land is such a gem. Honestly, I don’t get how it didn’t get the love it deserved when it dropped. This album is incredible, with its cinematic, atmospheric soundscape that just pulls you into a dark and haunting world. It feels like you’re wandering through Tokyo's neon-lit streets at night, completely lost but in the best way. The storytelling and lyrics are raw and unapologetic, and production is on another level. It’s really wild that it wasn’t a fan ... read more

First time listening to a full body of work by FKA twigs, and I'm happy I tuned in because EUSEXUA is truly amazing. The album feels so fresh, blending genres and sounds in ways that are innovative but still feeling natural. Every track keeps you entertained, with unexpected twists that somehow just work perfectly together. The production is rich and packed with detail, pulling you right into its immersive soundscape. FKA twigs pushes boundaries, creating an album that feel as futuristic ... read more

One of Bruno's weaker collaborations, if not his worst. The song goes nowhere, with atrociously bad content and lyrics. Not even a song to only vibe to.

Central Cee's debut album is one-dimensional and utterly bland. The repetitive and generic drill-rap flows fail to entertain, with most tracks sounding like I've heard them all before and feeling nearly identical to each other. Overall, it's boring and forgettable.
