Terrace Martin - I Left My Heart In Ladera
NR

Personal Highlights: I Left My Heart in Ladera, 2 Step in the Living Room, Paradise

Personal Lowlights: Dear Issa, La Brea & Stocker

PARTYNEXTDOOR - COLOURS 2
73

Colours 2 didn't quite capture the spark of PartyNextDoor’s earlier projects. While the moody production and late-night tone remain intact, the EP’s conciseness and lack of variation give it a placeholder feel. Cohesive but underwhelming, solid enough to enjoy, yet far from his most inspired work.

Highlights: PEACE OF MIND

Lowlights: LOW BATTERY

PARTYNEXTDOOR - PARTYNEXTDOOR 3 (P3)
64

PND3 aims to capture the spark that made PND's earlier work so enjoyable. The album didn't deliver consistently and ultimately felt somewhat dragged out and repetitive. However, the moody, emotional peaks of the album are what make this album so memorable.

Highlights: Come and See Me, Don't Run, Not Nice
Lowlights: Brown Skin, Transparency

PARTYNEXTDOOR - COLOURS
58

Colours deviates from PartyNextDoor's momentum, lacking the sharpness and consistency that were seen in his earlier work. The first half of the album was auspicious, but by the second half, it had lost all of its steam, feeling like filler.

Highlights: LET'S GET MARRIED
Lowlights: DON'T WORRY

PARTYNEXTDOOR - PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO
80

Coming off the greatness of his debut project, PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO shows Brathwaite sharpening his dark/nocturnal R&B formula with smooth, atmospheric tracks that deliver that coveted sleek late night vibe. A worthy successor to his amazing debut project.

Highlights: Recognize, Her Way, Belong to the City
Lowlights: N/A

Alex Isley - WHEN
91

Deserves way more recognition. If this serves as even a glimpse of what the future holds, it looks very promising.

Highlights: Ms. Goody Two Shoes, Fool's Gold, Thank You For a Lovely Time
Lowlights: N/A

Summrs - What We Have
84

Potentially the greatest PluggnB project ever.

Highlights: put out fye, just can't, out da window
Lowlights: N/A

Lil Tecca - PLAN A
72

Repetitive listen but solid

Highlights: BAD TIME, TASTE, 24HRS
Lowlights: MAMA, 4U, HOMEBODY

Bryson Tiller - T R A P S O U L
94

A genre-defining classic that provides something to like with every track.

Highlights: Don't, Right My Wrongs, Exchange, Sorry Not Sorry
Lowlights: N/A

PARTYNEXTDOOR - PARTYNEXTDOOR
83

A defining entry for PND. Moody and atmospheric ear candy. One of, if not the best projects PND has dropped to date.
Highlights: TBH, Break from Toronto, Wus Good / Curious, Right Now
Lowlights: Wild Bitches

PARTYNEXTDOOR - PARTYPACK
91

This EP contains some of Party's best songs to date.
Personal Highlights: THINGS & SUCH, BUZZIN', PERSIAN RUGS
Personal Lowlights: CUFFED UP

"You get it bro. Finally. Someone gets it. If you just tune out all the noise and listen for yourself, your own enjoyment, you will eventually come to the realization that this album isn't as bad as everyone says it is."
