이달의 소녀 [LOONA] - [&]
60

Some of you say LOONA has been losing the sound that made them appealing in the first place, but I think quite the opposite. LOONA is evolving in an accelerated, really good way. Paint The Town is one of THE BEST title tracks in their whole career, I have nothing much to say but that this project really blew my mind.

Rebecca Black - Rebecca Black Was Here
65

I feel like this record falls between a promising hyperpop sound and the electropop we are accustomed to listen to. It's not necessarily bad, but I was expecting more, considering she already worked with hyperpop stars like Dorian Electra. Apart from that, it's a pretty decent EP, I hope Rebecca can keep up evolving her own sound

MARINA - Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land
75

Marina managed to get past her disappointing previous album Love + Fear, and give us a really great project. Combining the characteristic sound of her debut The Family Jewels, and the breakup and political charged lyrics of Froot, she succeeds at creating one of the best albums in her whole career

black midi - Cavalcade
NR

this is chaotically good

NR

underwhelming...

TWICE - Taste of Love
78

When they let these girls write their title-tracks, we will truly get a peak K-Pop album. In the meantime, we got a really good album, one of their best releases since Feel Special

American Football - American Football
80

The instrumental and vocals on this album are so beautiful I want to cry. They also managed to feature Hayley Williams and Rachel Goswell, what else do you want?

Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR
60

Olivia Rodrigo is the breakout artist of the moment: she's young, she's heartbroken, she's angry about the false promises about adolescence, and most importantly, she's not afraid to tell it through her songs. These conditions are what give essence to 'SOUR', her debut album, a breakup album that runs through the different emotions she (and most of us) go through during a breakup. The melancholy and despair mentioned in 'enough for you' and 'drivers license', her biggest hit so far; the anger ... read more

파란노을 [Parannoul] - To See the Next Part of the Dream
85

The independent Korean artist, who takes refugee in anonymity by taking the name Parannoul (Blue Glow in Korean), has managed to make himself known beyond his country and continent by releasing his second work "To see the next part of the dream." This album covers the life of the author, who defines himself as a child trapped in the body of an adult, given the gap between his dreams and reality: someone talented who hopes at some point to be a famous musician, until he crashes with ... read more

Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club
70

Even though I liked and enjoyed the majority of the songs of this album, I can't help but think that it's a not-that-good and more boring version of Norman Fucking Rockwell. I'll try to give this album a few more opportunities but I can't see it growing in me like NFR did, principally because of the bland instrumentalization and monotonous vocals of Lana

TWICE - Eyes wide open
75

I think this album has some aspects that some people would love, and some people would hate; in my case, I love them, principally how they manage to change genres between songs, and somehow maintain the cohesion alongside the record, it gives me that vibe of 'since we already are at the top of K-pop in Korea, we are going for the whole world'.

Unlike groups like Blackpink, where they leave the Korean sound and instead take american sounds and influences to make it more acceptable and basic, I ... read more

Taylor Swift - folklore
80

Following the colorful but at the same time monotonous 'Lover' (2019), Taylor Swift surprises us all by releasing 'folklore', an album made in secret throughout the quarantine that took place this year, and which is therefore full of emotions that we have experienced throughout this one: melancholy, nostalgia, anger, insecurity and even love; a handful of emotions, mostly negative, were transformed by the singer, mainly accompanied by Aaron Desner from the band The National, and her frequent ... read more

Melanie Martinez - After School
20

Melanie Martinez released the same album for the third time in a row, but somehow it manages to make it worse than the previous version.

BLACKPINK - THE ALBUM
60

A debut album full of poppy, funny and danceable tracks; nothing really Innovative and special despite the high expectations that K-pop fans had, but it's an ok album, I guess

Declan McKenna - Zeros
75

It seems to me that Declan finally became one with his own sound, and it couldn't be better. This glam rock record, reminiscing some David Bowie-like style, is an explosion of adrenaline, political views and a lot of raw emotions. It seemed to me that his debut "What do you think about the car?" It was going to be the top of his career, but this record let me with a lot of expectations about what this boy can do.

유키카 [YUKIKA] - 서울여자 [SOUL LADY]
78

This record is a round trip from Japan to Korea, and believe me, it's a beautiful journey. This is a refreshing and euphoric combination of city pop songs, and it makes us feel as we listen to all the songs that finally our dreams have come true.

Katy Perry - Smile
60

Katy Perry doesn't know where to go with her own music anymore. This album lacks in consistency between the songs, repetitive and dull choruses, and sonically is a reminder of her previous albums without the catchy characteristics of them. The only good thing about this record is her vocal interpretation, but it can't save this mediocre and forgettable album.

Troye Sivan - In A Dream
72

Though he is still struggling with a musical identity crisis, Troye manages to experiment nicely with the production of the songs of this project, complementing his very dreamy voice; the singer is continuously making small steps to the ideal of his own trademark and sound.

77

The Venezuelan producer and singer Arca, who previously in her homonymous album explored a more personal side of herself, in which emotions such as suffering, anguish and a more than exposed vulnerability predominate, in KiCk i the opposite is explored: Arca shows a happier and more confident side, in which through lyrics that seek to convey a message of acceptance and diversity, we read between the lines the process the singer had to go through in order to come to terms with herself and feel ... read more

Chloe x Halle - Ungodly Hour
70

The musical duo from Atlanta returns after their debut album 'The Kids Are Alright', which earned them a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. This time they present a fresher, fun work that gives a glimpse of the essence that characterizes the sisters; in 'Ungodly Hour', they allow themselves to explore the versatility of their voices: Chloe has a deeper and darker voice, while Halle maintains a sweet and angelic singing; their voices are kept in a rhythmic balance, which is lost when they ... read more
