Sam Shepherd on the composition, London Symphony Orchestra on the performance, and Pharoah Sanders on the execution. Perhaps one would not fathom a partnership between the three acts, but indubitably, the value of the end product would be prodigious. I expected a grandiose delivery from the three brilliance through mighty showcases, and even with hindsight, ... read more

Absolutely amazing. Without any prior experience with Magdalena Bay, their definitive sound presents itself in self-effacing enchantment right from the opening title track. The experience truly lives up to the album name - 1. volatile in styles, playfully hopping from sound to sound, drenched in synth and nifty rhythms. 2. sprightly, full of congenial energy delivered from an alluring character. It's one of those albums which gives great joy to both easy and dedicated listening - You couldn't ... read more
The Feels is a culmination of the Twice aesthetic we've grown to love from past to present, renditioned into an even-more westernized sound through the use of nu-disco. Upbeat, fluffy and catchy, three words that have cinched positions within Twice's dictionary of success, The Feels most certainly continues the brilliant execution of the formula. Perhaps it is a crime to merely evaluate The Feels via the music, considering the music itself is perhaps, not even the main appeal of the whole ... read more
Shit got me crying tears of joy (no pun intended). Thank you Red Velvet for saving the world
After several tens of minutes trying to write a review, I'm giving up. I simply cannot write about how good this is and how amazing I am feeling right now. And I realized, you don't tell people how good a cookie tastes, you let them go see for themselves! So just go. Listen to it.

With only 5 songs on a tracklist, what can you possibly pull off? Apparently, a lot. Remarkable and earnest, Sarah Kinsley's self-produced and written The King is an underrated and self-effacing pop record.

With the seamless blend of psychedelia, soul, and jazz, Hiatus Kaiyote hopes to be the vanguard of what is to come for the genre.

Despite its radiance, neo-soul is a genre at its crossroads. Despite its past excellence, from Tony! Toni! Toné! to Jill Scott, neo-soul desperately needs a strong shot in the arm. Derived from the demand ... read more

Albums from the East Asian hemisphere that I highly recommend. Warning: The language barrier can be a factor of belittled experience.
