INSAAAANE! This era of Kendrick has some funny flows and bouncy beats. The features do justice. The hype from earlier in the year is capped off by a banger of a project. He's live from start to finish, the West Coast theme makes for some funky performances we haven't heard from Kendrick in a minute. This is the 2024 equivalent of DAMN. Kendrick delivers a fun project here with less attachments and straight hits.
The production on this is insane! This is a well rounded project from Charli, she has cemented herself as a pop star with this one. It's rare to have a project full of bangers from start to finish yet here she manages to make one. The project is airy and fun yet it finds her discussing some personal topics. The production is inspired and makes her vocals stand out with how she uses them. Overall amazing project, a true classic in the genre with its layered production and Charli's ... read more
I was pleasantly surprised by this album, such laid back pop tunes. This is a great project and a nice introduction to the band. There are a variety of sounds yet it all seems so effortless. Would highly recommend as a first time listener. Magdalena Bay have a classic here.
Great debut, reminiscent of a young SZA. There is so much potential showing here that her growth will surprise a lot of people. Musically it shows a student who has already found a pocket and can only go up from here. Watch her blow up in the next few years as a force to be reckoned with.
Project could've used a trimming as some tracks are filler. There are tracks that stand out particularly after you experience them along the movie. Solid project all in all, it was good to experience this side of Cud'
Easily his most accessible album after he introduced and cemented himself as a generational artist. The album feels like a "hits" project yet these aren't forced, instead it sees a lyrical and musical titan having fun while also meditating on some universal yet personal topics on life.
The project is proof of Reece's lyrical prowess. I get a lot of people being taken aback by the production choice, however the production works to make the whole piece into what it is which is a statement. The Boy isn't trying to chase anything but he's only cementing his sound beyond what we know and maturing his pallette. The production is sombre at points and at others jumps at you as if to grab you by the neck. This is a new era for Reece and he acclamates well into it. ... read more
Solid project from Cole. People don't appreciate the way he experiments on this one with a blend of world sounds. His lyricism is on point and well displayed throughout the project. In this project it really shows that he's mastered his curation skills in terms of setting up collaborations more than ever. IMO this should've been the Off Season project with a few adjustments on the tracks themselves. Appreciate this era of Cole, very experimental.
That second half is something to ... read more
Another wholesome body of work from the maestro of aesthethic himself. It's been inspiring witnessing the growth from Tyler, both artistically and as a human being in general. The album is another classic in his catalog.
