As much as Grimes produces a distinct, vibrant soundscape on her third LP ‘Visions’, her over-the-top - borderline screechy vocals - and the songs’ usual lack of continuity leads ‘Visions’ to deliver both the ‘magical and expressive’ and the ‘dull and sickening’.
Throughout her third LP, Grimes adopts synths and an ethereal tone to deliver playful, childlike cuts for her audience. Tracks like, ‘Oblivion’, ‘Genesis’, ... read more
Daft Punk's swan song 'Random Access Memories' has them showing their influences plain and bold; they abandon many elements they became masters of to create something that truly spoke to them and lifted their burdens. While they sometimes struggled to venture into this new sound, the beautiful use of synthesisers, dynamic instrumentation, and powerful thought-provoking messages Daft Punk brought were just some of the elements they masterminded on 'Random Access Memories'.

Charli XCX's fifth record, 'Crash', is a deliberate departure from the hyperpop sound Charli embraced on her 2020 LP: 'how i'm feeling now'.

Still, the kaleidoscopic synths, driving drum patterns, and consistently emotive performances from Charli elevate the record to decisive moments of engaging excitement.

On their sixth studio album, Arcade Fire revisits the musical themes that made them popular and widely celebrated in the early 2000s musical landscape. Yet on 'WE', they do more than give a safe batch of songs that sound the same as 'Funeral' or 'The Suburbs'; they evolve their indie rock melodies with alternative dance rhythms and a powerful heartland rock spirit. These all culminate in providing the listener with Arcade Fire's most consistent and conceptual record since 'The Suburbs'.
