Harry Styles - Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
64

Even with some redeeming moments, definitely Harry’s most middling album to date.

La Reezy - LEADER OF DA UTH
76

Not groundbreaking, but definitely some of his best production here. Pretty distinctive. The one thing is I think he needs to work on clarity and enunciation in his flow-- sometimes he feels like he's a little overwhelmed keeping up with some of the precision of more complex flows and it makes some of the bars feel a little unprofessional. Great stuff tho.

mace - Is This It?
60

I think there's for sure some potential but I def think the cadence and lyrics need some work going into future songs.

Bruno Mars - 24K Magic
80

A breezy and consistent pop album from Bruno.

Charlie Puth - I Warned Myself
51

"the old charlie cant come to the phone right now" "why?" "cuz he's dead" ahh song

Jackie Evans - Seven Brides
79

Jackie Evans is a phenomenal songwriter, but I can't help but feeling the studio versions let down her music just a little bit. The studio versions are good, but if the songs are great, is good good enough?

Bruno Mars - The Romantic
76

It's not Bruno's best, but standard Bruno is still good Bruno. And I also really dig some of the latin elements across the record as well.

RAYE - Nightingale Lane.
90

I could not be more excited about this album

Kygo - Save My Love
73

one of kygo's stronger singles in a bit

Baby Keem - The Melodic Blue
NR

It's a super flawed project but also a great exhibition for something greater. For now, I don't feel Ca$ino is that project, but we'll see in the future.

Baby Keem - Ca$ino
72

Not a bad second outing from Baby Keem, but I really was looking to see something a little more visionary from a sound perspective. You'd probably be right to say he's overall improved on all fronts, but after five years, is that really enough? It's cool for sure, but maybe not enough to move the needle for him longterm.

Brent Faiyaz - Icon
73

A pleasant, if unremarkable listen.

isobel - undercover
78

It's nice but a little underwhelming

Bad Bunny - Super Bowl LX Halftime Show
77

I feel a bit conflicted on this one— on one hand, the production design, choreography and overall creativity, from a live wedding to all the little details throughout is phenomenal and some of the best in recent memory. Really my issue is on Bad Bunny’s performance. Personally I just found his vocal style here to be fairly obnoxious and sometimes bordering on a bit cringy. There were so many great elements to this one but for me his performance undercut a lot of the potentially ... read more

Joji - Piss In The Wind
42

“it doesn’t move me man”

Much of this album honestly feels like if you gave Joji 21 type beats and 24 hours, I legitimately believe beyond a few tracks (the singles essentially) you could have gotten this ENTIRE album in that period. It’s just so banal and empty and frankly from an atmospheric perspective it’s like nectar lite lite. Just very few redeeming qualities unfortunately.

J. Cole - The Fall-Off
82

Cole’s potentially final album is a fairly big mixed bag. Some genuinely stellar tracks, basically 1-7, and some nice ones in the back half, but feels very inconsistent as a whole and a little uninsightful for such a long ramp up. Lots to love and many great tracks but as a whole experience it’s just fine. I'm maybe overrating for the whole experience, but I do love a good amount of tracks.

I gotta comment on the high quality beats -- none except 39 intro are innovative but ... read more

Arlo Parks - Heaven
84

Atmospheric, dreamy and textured, and ultimately a bit sobering, Heaven isn’t a perfect single pick and feels just a little repetitive at times but it’s a really gorgeous song. The production is just very obviously better than anything on My Soft Machine.

Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale
83

Definitely not Stevie's strongest album (namely the first half) -- mainly to me feeling a bit derivative of stuff he already made. The second half however opens up with some beautiful soulful fresh sounding tracks, from the classical They Won't Go When I Go, to the bouncy light Bird of Beauty and cheerful Please Don't Go, it really finds its footing towards the end.

J. Cole - BIRTHDAY BLIZZARD '26
NR

Love the first and last track

Connor Price - Top 10
77

I roll in Rs but dont speak spanish
