WITCHCLUB GRIMOIRE PART III is the latest album Breakbeat/Drum and bass artist 4evrx.
Overall the production here is just really good, it’s 4evrx doing what she does best and I can’t really say much more than that.
This observation isn’t really exclusive to this album, moreso to her entire discography, but something I really love about 4evrx’s music is how she can create really interesting and sometimes vibesy sounding music, and then when she titles it, that title, ... read more
nysterica is 4evrx’s, kinda, self-titled 5th EP, released alongside here community project, DIGITAL EXORCISM
For all intents and purposes, I’m gonna keep this review short because it’s a reasonably short EP, at only 10 minutes and 4 songs.
The sound of this EP is really split in 2 for me, with 2 songs feeling kinda in “bop” territory, favouring more bassy production, and the other 2 feeling more “vibes” territory with more dreamy and hazy ... read more
Manual Drive 1991 is the 5th album be American Electronic artist Dusqk
Dusqk says that the sound and vibe of this album was inspired by Street Racing, and I think that vision is pretty well laid executed. On my first listens even, a lot of the tracks here felt like they would perfectly fit in a more lowkey Initial D soundtrack, and I feel like they would go amazingly when you’re actually driving.
The production here is great, with it having an intersection of Vaporwave and House, with ... read more
New Blue Sun is the first Album by beloved Atlanta rapper Andre 3000, being a massive departure from what he’s known for, venturing into the world of Ambient Flute Music
I’m going be completely honest, this is way out of my usual wheelhouse. I’m not really that into Ambient as a genre, in fact I’m pretty sure the only Ambient stuff I’ve listened to outside of this is fucking Lofi Girl. Point is going into this album I wasn’t really sure how much I’d ... read more
My first time listening to this I thought it sounded like a Persona song, then I realized that Lotus Juice was the feature and Shoji Meguro was the producer, so yeah it’s pretty good
Plastic Beach is the 3rd album by English Alternative band Gorillaz, acting as the follow-up to their massively popular 2005 album Demon Days.
Personally to me, even if it’s far from the band’s commercial peak, Plastic Beach is one of the most iconic albums, not just in rock, but just in general. In both sound and aesthetic, it’s been one of the most recognizable albums ever for me, even before really getting into music. Songs like “Rhinestone Eyes” and the title ... read more
In 2024, 2 years after her smash success of an album of RENAISSANCE, Beyonce returned with the 2nd installment of this trilogy, and she returned with a vengeance.
COWBOY CARTER was born from claims of her “not being country enough”, which sprung up around 2016 after her CMA performance of “Daddy Lessons”, which had caused a ton of controversy from the Nashville side of the music world, and people questioning the treatment of black artists in country. COWBOY CARTER is a ... read more
What spells would evil fucked up Wizard Future concoct
WIZRD is Future’s 7th Studio album, and despite being one of his less popular releases, it’s also among his more universally beloved releases, garnering itself a pretty decent following as one of Future’s more underrated albums.
The writing of thus album is generally standard for Future, but he does some pretty fun lyricism here with a lot of great rhyme schemes that keep each song flowing well. The Production is also ... read more
How did we get here
I’ve never really done a proper review for a single before but the sheer whiplash of hearing “HANDS UP!” for the first time and my inability to get it out of my head are next level, and I need to talk about somehow.
The vibe of this song is just immaculate, it really makes me just want to get down and boogie in a way that no other song has made me in a while.
The production is great, it’s so full of life and builds up the vibe so well. It’s ... read more
Ts so long I had to do a separate review for it💔
This review will only be taking into account the original songs included on LANA and its Deluxe
LANA is the 2024 Deluxe to SZA’s 2022 smash hit SOS. Adding an additional 19 tracks, and almost an additional hour of new music, LANA is a massive extension, and, as such, among other reasons, I think it’s best that I examine it separate from SOS.
Lyrically, it’s kinda typical SZA, hearing about how her love life, or ... read more
This review is only taking into account the base album, LANA will be getting a separate review.
SZA’s 2nd Studio Album, following her beloved 2017 release, Ctrl, SOS is a beast of an album, at 23 tracks and over an hour long, yet still managing feel concise, with most tracks not going, or only just barely, going over the 3 minute mark, save for a few tracks that I think really make use of that extra time.
Lyrically speaking, I feel like this album follows 2 trains of thought, either ... read more
Every Great Villain comes with an Equally Great Origin Story
Daniel Dumille would get his start in Music making back in 1991, as part of Rap Group KMD, under the Moniker of “Zed X Love”, but unfortunately, thanks to death of his brother and collusions with their label, things fell through and the trio ended up collapsing, leaving Dumille near homeless. It seemed that, No One Cared About Him Until He Put On The Mask. Over this period of time, he grew resentful of the industry that ... read more
This review is brought to you by the Ford F-150 Raptor, pick one up at your local car dealership today
Astley’s 9th and most recent album, it continues the former popstar’s transition into Country-Rock. However, where i feel he thrived in Beautiful Life, here he feels more stagnant, dull and complacent than ever.
This whole album just feels like, commercial and trailer music. Something to play in the background and sound decent enough. The production and songwriting sound ... read more
Karen’s 2018 EP, it’s certainly there.
The biggest sin this EP commits is being painfully boring. Of the 8 tracks that populate this album, excluding the intro, I can’t really say much on half of them, because there really is nothing to say.
The production and lyricism are pretty standard in terms of DEMONDICE’s discography, I’d say like if you picked 3 random track from her discography, there’s about a 70% chance they’d probably sound like most of ... read more
Mac's first studio album, Blue Slide Park very much heralds itself in the Frat Rap that would bring Mac his initial praise.
The lyrics and production work really hand in hand here in this regard, with tracks like "Up All Night" and "Man in the Hat" really emphasising a desire of having a good time, with equally upbeat production to boot. "PA Nights" is another good example, though somewhat going a different route, with instead Mac lavishing in his newfound ... read more
The third album by the North Carolinian rapper, shadowbox bringing to us beautiful, yet overwhelmingly tragic recountings of MAVI's life and its stories.
The thing that immediately jumped out to me while listening to this album is his vocal performance. Throughout the whole album he sounds both tired yet emotionally, really provoking the idea that he's seen a ton of shit, and is just completely burned out after all of it, but in spite of that, recounting this is still extremely ... read more
Who let Unc back in the studio 🙏😭
After 2 Decades, Acclaimed and Beloved Actor, and alleged Rapper, Will Smith returns with a new album, it is not good, very bad even.
The most compliments l can give this album are that the beats aren’t bad usually, every once in a while Will has decent flows and some of the features don’t do too bad, that’s it honestly.
Most of this album sounds like it’s timeless, in the absolute worst way possible, wherein he tries so hard to ... read more
