If we had to talk about 90s albums, Janet Jackson's 1997 album "The Velvet Rope" is one of the first that would come to my mind.

The youngest sister of the Jacksons proves that R&B can be taken to further horizons, mixing it with different genres all the way to the album, it has got staple R&B songs like "Got 'Til It's Gone" or the title track "Velvet Rope", but it also has more avant-garde, experimental and daring tracks like "Free ... read more

New Zealander singer Lorde's sophomore album "Melodrama" is one of the best pop records that were ever put out in the last few decades.

With her distinctive raw and raspy voice, Lorde touches subjects that are a hard pill to swallow once you start to grow up, serving as a great follow-up to her debut album "Pure Heroine"— released when she was just 15— which was filled with teenage angst and discovering what life had to offer.

With songs like "Green ... read more

Dreamy, surrealistic and soft. Just exquisite.

"This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway" by British singer Lola Young is a great attempt at breaking through with a solid sound and a lot of purpose.

Even though i am not very fond of indie rock, this record by Young —who is one of the UK's biggest rising stars as of now— made me realize that maybe the genre does have some kind of charm to it. This album feels kind of messy and maybe not really polished but i think that's exactly what makes it kind of ... read more

"Grasa de Las Capitales" del supergrupo argentino Serú Girán es uno de los mejores proyectos de rock progresivo que haya existido en la historia del género en latinoamerica.

Este disco, publicado en el año 1979, finalizó la decada con broche de oro, mezclando elementos del jazz con instrumentales dinámicas llenas de sintetizadores y melodias melancolicas,, las cuales crean un sonido hasta entonces nunca antes realizado en esta parte del globo ... read more

"Jagged Little Pill" by Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette is truly one of the greatest alt-rock albums from the 1990s.

This album was great shake-up for Morissette's career, at just 21 years old, Alanis stablished herself as powerful and unique force in 90s rock music.

Her sharp-tongued and witty lyricism combined with her raw and rough vocals make a perfect blend for a teenage angst record that would be a staple for rock music in the upcoming decades.

"C,XOXO" by American singer Camila Cabello is an interesting and bold new approach to music by her, but it doesn't quite pay off yet.

The most positive aspect of this record is that it is a new detour of what Camila is used to doing, venturing into a more electronic side of her latin-pop music, it's ambitious and in some songs it achieves to create a clear new artistic direction for Camila.

The most negative aspect of this album is that, in general, it feels generic and ... read more

"The Tortured Poets Department" by American pop-singer Taylor Swift is one of the most bland and lazy musical works that i witnessed this year.

With very bad songwriting and monotone production/instrumentals, Taylor's latest album as of 2024 seems uninspired and not even a reach for some artistic significance that is not cash-grabbing.

The songs are not the worst thing i have ever heard but they're nowhere near being the best Taylor can do. She has performed way better in ... read more

"Hellfire" by English rock band Black Midi is one of the wildest and twisted records that I have had the pleasure to listen to. It's music like I had never heard it before and that makes me so glad.

Combining elements of jazz, flamenco, rock, psychedelia, punk and many more, this record delivers what I imagine would happen if you took Liza Minelli, Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols and combine them all together while taking LSD.

It's a wild ride like no other and it takes you ... read more

"Speaking in Tongues" by American rock band Talking Heads is easily one of the best post-punk records from the 1980's, it brings a mix of a funky sound and rock music that makes you wanna dance as soon as you hear it.

This album delivers a new trailblazing musical force that we can attribute to Talking Heads, that being the New Wave style, a new umbrella genre that broadened punk music, mixing it with pop sounds and electronic synths.

This 1983 record will make you dance your ... read more

Magdalena Bay's sophomore album "Imaginal Disk" is an invite to a neopsychedelic world, in which they talk about self-discovery, human experiences and feelings, all in a perfect avant-garde sound combined with Mica Tenenmbaum's thrilling voice, resulting in one of the best albums that pop music has had the privilege of having.

The Beatles's eighth studio album "Sgt. Peppers's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was and still is a game changer in the rock music industry, it tapped into a new, trippy and psychedelic side of the band, something that had not been fully done by them at the time.
