Really no lyrics but a great little vibe for Arlo Parks moving into her third album cycle.
The tyler influence is obvious, but a really energetic catchy track from the three that's experimental but accessible.
I know ROBEARL from his popular Instagram page, ibreathemusicallday, so when I saw he had a new project, I wanted to check it out.
Honestly, the production is the strong suit here so it might be the only album ever where I prefer the interludes to the regular tracks. The rap verses are just fairly weak throughout, and feel very standard to a chipmunk soul project with nothing really special. Y'know the verses where they start with 5 uhhs and yeahhhhhs before saying the most mediocre ... read more

A really solid little project for the duo, Jada has a great singing voice too. Kinda reminded me of the CHH group indietribe in terms of production / sound.
It's a really pretty album, but I'm not in love with the overall vibe it has as a whole. It's a bit slow but that's not too big a deal, it just never quite grabbed me. I'd rate individual tracks higher than the whole experience because it's very cohesive and nice, it's just that the feeling it creates is a little offputting to me.

I hadn't rated any Peyton Hezekiah songs before because there were only a few I was a fan of but this is sounding much better & more professional. Really nice tone over a cool beat with some good thoughtful bars.
Sunburn is a mixed bag for me. The opening track, Mona Lisa, Sunburn and 4x4 are really nice tracks, and there are some other solid tracks throughout (even though the album can sound a little like indie H&M at times, Dancing In The Courthouse is a prime example even tho it's pretty good)
But there's also just a bunch of other tracks I think suck. Sick, Mama's Boy, 7 Hours are just weak tracks that are really grating. The use of sampling throughout the album also tends to be ... read more
Not as stunning as the first two singles, but another two really strong tracks from Mag Bay.
A pleasant, fairly catchy, but somewhat even fourth album for Khalid.
While not perfect, this is high and above Reezys best project yet. His style feels much more fully realize here, his bars are much better and all in all this just feels like the first project that feels like La Reezy has a voice. Hyped for future!!

"@niconsoli honestly i would love to see someone trying to create like a sort of modern blues -- I know R&B IS modern blues to a degree, but I mean more literally-- straight up blues with modern elements. His voice needs something to really get into like in the Sinners soundtrack"

"@groundedmusique Unfortunately musically I find it to be really really lacking, and even lyrically what he's saying is emotional but I don't think it's particularly good. Honestly it felt like an NF song to me. Obviously he talks about a lot of things that are really important to him but that doesn't equate to me finding the song good"
