Imani Imani - Papercut
70

Imani comes out the gate swinging with a really good debut.

It's nothing crazy, but super enjoyable, with an amazing production and great performance.

Vince Staples - Cry Baby
90

If it wasn't clear enough with Vince's last album, it's clear the headspace he's in. Even though his last project was more of a sad cut, with uplifting bits. Crybaby is a plain and simple hate letters Talking about police brutality, racism and corruption.

Sonically it's amazing, a really cool new sound to Vince's discography. The only complaint is that it doesn't have much versatility in the production, as the sound is established well enough in the first ... read more

Clairo - Charm
95

Charm by Clairo is for a lack of better words, a charming listen. It's crazy how she's able to switch her sound with every project. This one being my favorite of hers so far.

Nothing to complain about, flawless.

Clairo - Sling
70

Clairo went for a more melodic and whispery delivery with a folkish production. Not my cup of tea. Yet it's still beautiful, her singing is good and the production is really clean. At times I thought the songs where going somewhere just for them to end.

Clairo - Immunity
75

Clairo's first full length project is super consistent. Her singing reminds me of Sabrina Carpenter's debut album. It opens with some super personal lyrics, and as the project goes on, it develops into feelings of desire and love for someone. Although I like most of the songs, her singing is at times stale. She chooses one style and keeps it for the whole song, rarely switching it up.

The most interesting track is the last one, which is a two part song that serves as a great closing ... read more

Clairo - diary 001
75

This is everything I wanted to hear in a Clairo EP. It's everything she was capable of doing, but now with a clean mixing and great instrumentals.

J. Cole - Truly Yours 2
70

In my opinion, this is the better of the two EP's. It has the vibes and sound of the last one, yet I feel Cole went in a more introspective and storytelling way.

J. Cole - Truly Yours
55

Going back into J. Cole's discography it's crazy how much he has improved over the years. Truly Yours is a simple EP from Cole, with his laid back production and overall simple rapping style he had back then.

Though that also means he has those bad bars related to poop/fart/shit he used to use during that period. Nothing crazy overall.

Clairo - brains a bus station
65

Clairo finally experiments with more sounds. Even though there's still a lot to polish, I love the fact she's leaving her comfort zone.

Clairo - creased laundry
65

Between this and her last EP "growing" it feels that Clairo has found her sound. The melodic and distant singing a companied by a single guitar.

Clairo - growing
50

She's back with the 3 songs EP's, at least this one is longer than 4 minutes.

She sings nicely in this, sadly the lack of mixing drowns her vocals with the guitar.

JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
70

I quite enjoyed this, it's not as bad as everyone is saying, yet it's nowhere near his recent projects.

It is experimental after all, but in which sense? Mainly in the form where you don't know what will he do in any song, you don't know if his gonna pull a crazy guitar riff, an angelic sample or a dubstep instrumental. The main problem with this project is that is 25 songs where he uses the same flow on almost all of them. Thankfully his production is polished enough where ... read more

Kanye West - Yandhi
70

Since there's no oficial tracklist, is hard to judge the album on what its contents are. I heard a version with 24 fucking songs, with a crazy lineup of features, that even tho sounded good, it was still a mix of demos, scrapes and leaks.

Chakras was top tier though.

Clairo - metal heart
40

Finally able to listen to a bigger project from Clairo.

It's something cute, yet hard to make out what is she singing about. There's still no mixing (or a tiny amount of) so you mainly rely on the vibe of her tone, which makes the songs feel kind of the same, with a bland feel to them.

There's still a lot from here, so i'm hopeful she'll have more polished.

Clairo - moth girl
65

shoutout 2 her sponsor camelback

Clairo went with a more melancholic and moody sound in here, that I really like

There's still a lot of space for her to grow, but at the same time this is her first EP that sound like an EP, with a cohesive sound and better mixing

After Louise - Angel
80

She just doesn't miss. I'll be so happy the day we get an ep.

Clairo - Claire Cottrill
15

It's an ep with songs from her other ep's. Which makes the experience messy and all over the place.

It's cute tho.

Clairo - AQUARIUS BOY
40

It's what a 3 track EP would be, none of the songs are longer than 2 minutes.

It's just bland and really surface level. Tho I like the direction Clairo is going for, just wish to hear a longer and more polish work.

Clairo - late show
40

The mixing has improved. It's a fine listen, the thing is, the lyrics are still somewhat surface level, which is not bad, it just makes the songs feel a little bland.

As a piece of media I see it as a way to compare her resent work with her beginnings
