Violet Grohl - Be Sweet To Me
84

Really enjoyable debut. Violet really does a great job on being vulnerable on the writing here while still incorporating the messy grunge sound that I, personally really like.

Lily Allen - West End Girl

Gave me a different view on Mr. Harbour whilst giving probably one of my top-10 break up albums ever
P.S Who the f*ck is Madeline?!

FLO - Leak It
95

Yes, we are so back with the 2000s-esque music

Jorja Smith - Price Of It All (Music From the Original Series "Bait")
75

I really enjoyed the miniseries that this song was created for, so naturally when I saw Jorja wrote and created a song for this show I gave it a listen.

Jorja's vocals are flow beautifully on a track like this.
It really helps sell it as a "Bond" song (which if you haven't seen the series, is basically what the show is about; a non-white guy and his struggles auditioning for the role of James Bond) I just wish it had been used as the main title track or something, as in ... read more

KATSEYE - PINKY UP
65

I don't get why people are hating on this so much. I agree, I'm annoyed that they added the rave riff at like the last 15 seconds, that's just diabolical.. like what 😭 but I feel like the ground constantly shifts beneath you on this track. KATSEYE has this canvas and just paints it however they like, I think it is the fact that I love the little to no rules being followed on this track. Shame that it lyrically isn't there, but production is decent !

Gretel - Squish
82

A very strong debut album, I first heard of Gretel when she dropped the title track off of this record as a single, and I have to say I was hooked pretty quickly. Lovely listen, I love the folk-pop influence with it being a bit scuffed and scuzzy around the edges.

My New Band Believe - My New Band Believe

considering geordie greep and cameron pictons solo projects are this good, maybe it was a good thing black midi split up lol

Holly Humberstone - Cruel World
95

As a fan of Humberstone for more than 6 years now, I can proudly say this is her best body of work thus far. Holly displays a lot more vulnerability on this record and it feels like the right leap from her previous records. Rob Milton has also definitely grown as a producer, and you can hear it with the smooth synths in the title track for example. The only real gripe I have with record is I feel it is cut short,it wouldn't kill it to have maybe ~10 minutes more runtime.

Fcukers - Ö
73

This album is making me feel like we're going through another golden era of dance-pop. This is one of the more creative pop records I've heard in a while. I love the Y2K sound and the blend and mixture of different genres !!
