i really like this. after the first few singles i was excited to get a pop album full of really unique and earwormy production that sounds like halfway between hyperpop and alt pop. camila is a great singer and shows that here but one of my only two gripes with the album are the annoyingly nasally and compressed vocal processing that persists through almost every song. that and the incredibly short runtime of 32 minutes with three songs less than a minute and one drake interlude makes this feel ... read more
much more cohesive than anything hes done before and his best writing to date. some of these songs are amazing but others dont really do anything for me. this is the brighter sound from the previous release but with a new and more varied style in each song and also incorporates some of the darker more haunting sounds from white tiger. at times 2hollis can come a little close to youtube intro type beats but its never so much that the song becomes cringe. i will say that was hoping for some more ... read more
this is a very exciting tim for me in music right now as the artists that initially blew my mind at like 11 are returning and making albums that they say return to the sound of those projects . specifically billie eilish ad twenty one pilots i was very excited not even really for the whole lore side of this album but for the sound from trench that i love so much. this was not that. the singles showed a mix of sounds from trench a blurryface that made me really really excited and hopeful for ... read more
Billie is very horny on this album. I was worried going into this cause I was such a big billie fan a few years ago and the first three songs had me worried but once you buy into the atmosphere of the album it’s really amazing. The is definitely billies most vocally impressive album as well the production being totally top notch with each of these songs sounding like every detail of these harmonies and beats were meticulously crafted into these songs that have the most unique and varied ... read more
This might go higher as i listen a few more times but as of right now i have some issues. i really enjoyed the last ep and thought it was a really cool moment and sign of some maturity from twikipedia but here it doesnt work for me. first of all there is none of that first listen catchiness from the ep that made it so surprising and exciting upon first listen. there is still fine production and good writing but here it sounds a little more like twikipedia saw the high rated albums on websites ... read more
another instance of putting show and a desire to come acrooss as misdirecting but just leaves me wondering if there is any direction in the first place. i will say the second lbum does improve from this and isnt as boring but both are wildly overrated by people trying to come across as smart. srry.
Not funny, bad lyrics, dev is annoying when she raps. Production is dope af and when dev is singing she sounds so emo and dope. Nick actually sounds really in the pocket in this album which I can’t say for the other albums
Holy fuck this shit is so cringe. One of the worst cases of cursive singing and the worst writing I’ve heard all year (other than Taylor swift)
Not bad but the bars can be pretty weak and only one song has creative production
This is very formulaic but I’m not sick of the formula yet. I like how it sounds a little amateur but super lush and punchy and even if this guy is a blatant industry plant it makes it have a weirdly homemade feel. It feels wrong rating something so short and simple this high but I liked every song so idk
I heard this guy on a perry maysun song a year or two ago and really liked his voice. This ep is alright but kind of doesn’t know what direction it wants to take. At times he sounds like Brent faiyaz, on other songs he’s doing a lofi synth cut and others he’s rapping over hard ass drums. This is kinda cool but most of the time it feels a bit messy and doesn’t have the same sauce as his most recent singles
More varied than I thought. There are some really dope songs here and amazing vocals with some creative production is some of these songs. Pretty much every feature is really good and while sometimes this is a bit boring, most of the time this is really smooth and well produced
I was worried going into this that without the homemade vocal mix that all he charm would be gone but it’s not. The heavily produced songs here are actually just as good and even though at times d4vd is just completely ripping off Rex orange county, it doesn’t sound bad. The lyrics are pretty trash and the laufey song sounds like a Disney ballad but this is pretty good with some decent cuts
