Big Thief - Masterpiece
97

Man. Literal masterpiece.

Immersive storytelling. Vivid imagery. Voice of an angel. Impossible to put down!

Ironic how the persona in the stories tell the toxic relationships she's gone through with such a seemingly gentle and caring tone that the silence between her words sound like disconcerting cry for help. And the deep vulnerability this ensues holds so much power and beauty. Ughhhh

Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
80

Such a campy queen boss girl album. God, Chappell, what have you done? (you're a pink pony girl)

Very direct and unabashedly honest divulgence of raw emotions - from the curiosity of exploring queer identity, optimism of chasing ambition against family's will, frustrations about toxic relationships or failed dreams, homesickness, hot sexual fantasies.

Zild - Superpower
78

The songs almost seamlessly connect to recount the journey ... read more

ena mori - DON'T BLAME THE WILD ONE

!!!!!!

UGHHH the perfect pop record ~ fun, creative, adventurous, uplifting, honest, and human. We definitely caught a wild one. Love every bit of it.

Unbelievable. The talents showcased in this album are off the roof. Strong tasteful vocals, eargasmic playful production, tender introspective writing. Powerful. Genius. I love it best when she seemingly converses with herself to mirror the confused, depressed, broken minds of overthinking introvert millenials overwhelmed by different messed up ... read more

Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
95

Wow 😮👏 Easily the best album of the year so far! I am in love. This album completely ate me for lunch. Lol

From the flirtatious and adventurous "Lunch" to the cheesy hopeless romantic "Birds of a Feather", down to the more complex themes such as obsession ("The Diner"), neglective abuse ("The Greatest"), and grief for lost love ("Blue"), the album delivers a refreshing variety of intricately written stories about love and relationship, ... read more

Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us
90

piercing profound existential lines laced in strikingly rich and colorful variety of sounds ughhh

as a lonely struggling millennial, lost and disconnected from a fast and cruel capitalist world, coping from generational trauma, occasionally dreaming of running away to start a new life that's just simple and peaceful, i felt seen.

but sometimes everything is just as it is. bleak as it may be, i hope i let it go 🥲
