Glüme - Main Character
87

very underrated album and one of my top listens back in 2023

Samia - Bloodless
71

2025 and we’re still doing cover art that has no correlation to the sound of the music

74

Album starts off strong then devolves into a repetitive mess in the middle before finding itself in the end, though barely. Hell Hill (the track) really saved the album, imo.

This is the only project of elita’s I’ve actually enjoyed despite the lows. I appreciate the obvious love that went into the album and think it’s a solid debut.

Lorde - What Was That
80

A song incredible sandwiched between other songs on an album, but holds very little on its own. Has all the elements of a melodrama tribute minus the oomf..,the song goes nowhere. One note. No crescendo or climax. The buildup before the last chorus is a mole hill you wish was a mountain.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s enjoyable and the production is nice, airy, but there is nothing about it that we haven’t heard from lorde already.

Lady Gaga - MAYHEM
NR

Magnum opus.

LISA - Alter Ego
74

overall, a more interesting debut than rosé. alter ego concept is interesting but gets lost in boring production and lazy writing. The songs that are great are just that, and the songs that are weak pull the entire album down with them. The future feature is the worst offender.

85

removing bella greatly improves the listening experience…sorry to the fan that song is about!

Alice Coltrane - Lord of Lords
83

I was introduced to Coltrane via the Priscilla soundtrack as it features Going Home. Eventually, I found myself seeking Lord of Lords and fell in love. Incredible talent.

Ha Vay - Baby I'm The Wolf
75

There’s something missing from a lot of the tracks resulting in chunks of the album sounding like one continuous song.

For a debut album, I quite liked it and feel she’s honing in on what her sound should be. The typical indie pop sound doesn’t do any favors, but the record shines during moments of avant garde, kate bush-esque production. Love the way she plays with her voice.

Additional points for the cover art matching the aesthetic
