HOW DARE YOU TAP THE GLASS! 😡

I expected a longer period of time for Tyler, The Creator to release an album—perhaps, 2 years, but he surprised us with an album release this year! This takes a different direction from Chromakopia. Instead of following the same route that the album took—a more conceptual direction, Tyler decided to make an upbeat, dance record. In addition, this album is pretty short compared to other Tyler projects, being at only 10 tracks, and roughly about 28 ... read more

WIGILYWOBILIWIGILYWOBILIWIGILYWOO! 🔥

I had no idea what kind of gibberish he was saying there. 🤷‍♂️

Travis is jacking 7 boys for a second time. I wasn’t the only one who was excited to hear this album. The anticipation grew as the date 7/13 came around, and finally, the date has come. But when you step out of the first 2 tracks minus JB2 Radio, things start to get boring and bland.

Production is solid! Well, for the first two songs. 2000 Excursions honestly goes hard, and ... read more

Wait a sec, these are throwaways? ❓

Now, this isn’t peak JID—it’s not The Forever Story, but with that being said, it’s quite good. Songs like Behold and Animals (Pt. 1) are great, with both artists delivering fire verses (however Eminem’s verse may have been AI, which isn’t great). They rap their asses off on that track. Other than those two, the rest of the EP doesn’t stick out to me as much as the duo. Knew Better and Lisa, while fine, ... read more

I’m sorry Benson Boone, but what is a moonbeam ice cream? 🍨

This is your typical, bland pop song, another safe entry into Benson Boone’s choreography. Production plays it very safe and doesn’t try to innovate much. Essentially saying, it’s generic.

The lyrics are nonsensical. What in the world is a moonbeam ice cream? Maybe they should make it an ice cream flavor! The line, “Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans, dancing at the movies”. Dawg, ... read more

That elephant sound at the beginning of Peanuts 2 N Elephant was so funny. 😂 🐘

If you’ve ever seen one of those stock market graphs that spikes rapidly and then plummets to an all-time low, that’s essentially the trajectory of Tha Carter VI. It starts nice—a few solid tracks—but once Island Holiday hits, it’s all downhill from there. 📉

Lyrically, this album is weak. Sure, the opening tracks have its merits—it has some meaningful lines, but the ... read more

When I first pressed play on this song, I thought, “Wait a second, why does this remind me of Chappell Roan?” ▶️

Manchild is a solid, fun, and upbeat pop track that’s certainly catchy—there’s no denying that. But the beat has been done to death at this point. The production leans heavily into the same territory as The Giver, Good Luck Babe, and HOT TO GO, making it feel more like it’s chasing a trend rather than doing something unique.

That being said, ... read more

I mean, the title ain’t wrong. This is something beautiful. Definitely more beautiful than the last album that’s for sure

Kali Uchis, what you created is astounding.
Sincerely, NoteWorthy ✉️

In all seriousness, Kali Uchis returns for yet another amazing album. Kali Uchis is a pop singer known for making great albums, so seeing this well-received isn’t the most surprising thing ever. Stepping into the album, you feel the comforting voice welcoming you into the cabin, and then seconds later, you're at the fireplace (if that makes any sense). It’s a cozy album, something to snug into bed ... read more

I find it hard to understand what the point of this was.

Most of you already know Timeless. It’s a great pop/rap song crafted by The Weeknd and Playboi Carti that took off both critically and commercially. Next, let’s bring Doechii into the picture. She’s a critically acclaimed artist known for making ABNH, and she even got a Grammy. She hasn’t been having the best time as of lately. She released Anxiety, which while it did do numbers, it was received poorly for the ... read more

I mean, they’re not wrong—we do live in a society.

You can definitely say I’ve heard of JPEGMAFIA before. His last album, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, was the topic of conversation for many—critically acclaimed by critics and reviewers alike for its chaotic, unpredictable experience, and its genre-bending experimentation. So, when I saw he was teaming up with Flume, I was intrigued. For additional context, Flume is an Australian musician, DJ, and record producer. ... read more

We’re defining logic with this one.

Like most of the artists I’ve listened to this year, this is my first time listening to Westside Gunn. I heard he was on a Travis Scott song, and he was well liked by fans, so there had to be something good in store, right? Well, yes, but in a few songs.

The production feels like the cherry on top on an already good beat. Simply saying, it’s good. It ... read more

Bon Iver’s SABLE, fABLE is an album that takes you on a journey, but it’s one that requires patience—especially in the first disc.

Let me start by saying this is my first dive into Bon Iver. I’ve known the name for a while. People talk about how For Emma, Forever Ago, and 22, A Million, are such great projects. But I never took the plunge myself. So walking into SABLE, fABLE, I had no prior attachments. I came into this project with decent expectations, especially ... read more

I didn’t expect this album to hit me the way it did.

Black Country, New Road is a rock band formed in the British town of Cambridge in 2018. The band found both commercial and critical success with their most famous album: Ants From Up There. Unfortunately, Wood left the band because of mental health issues. Because of this, Hyde, Kershaw, and Evans took over vocals. This, as you can see in the comments section and reviews, sparked some anger. People are like, “This sucks! I want ... read more

Eminem brings his best project yet after MMLP2.

After a string of horrible albums by the white Detroit rapper himself, Eminem releases his latest project, The Death Of Slim Shady, where he is back to kill off his former self, aka, Slim Shady. Pretty decent concept, but will this album hold up with the gimmick? Well, maybe.

First off, the production. It’s way better than the shitload that we got on, say, Kamikaze or Revival. It returns to Eminem’s old roots in a good way. However, ... read more

🎵 NoteWorthy Review: WW3 by Kanye West
Artist: Kanye West
Genre: Pop Rap/Trap
Release Date: 2024-26-3
Label: YZY
Rating: 🎼 F

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
What the actual fuck is this song? This is buns.

BREAKING IT DOWN
🎼 Sound and Production: What am I listening to? This is the most generic beat I’ve ever heard. The drums are horrible. Kanye is notorious for showing leaks of songs and then butchering them so hard it’s actually insane. He does the exact same thing in this song. This ... read more

🎵 NoteWorthy Review: Gata Only by FloyyMenor and Cris MJ
Artist: FloyyMenor and Cris MJ
Genre: Reggaeton
Release Date: 2024-2-2
Label: UnitedMasters
Rating: 🎼 D-

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Alright, let’s be real here. Gata Only is fine, it really is. But as it ages on, it ages like expired milk. Hmm, I wonder if Floyy tries to innovate here! Welp, I was wrong. Bummer. Yet another reggaeton song with a really simple beat. At least Cris MJ brought some flavor, but it doesn’t save the ... read more

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Saba is a successful independent artist with a unique take on rap. He’s been critically acclaimed for his album, “CARE FOR ME”, and Few Good Things. This was my first time listening to Saba, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after listening, I got a lot. ... read more

Dermot Kennedy — Let Me In | NoteWorthy Review
Genre: Folk-Pop
Rating: D+

I actually added this to the site!

The Power Over Me singer frankly doesn’t bring that much power on this song.

Dermot Kennedy, an Irish singer known for his folk pop hits like Outnumbered, Power Over Me, Without Fear, and more, began his career singing on the streets of Ireland. After a break from December to March, writing new songs and spending time with family, Dermot releases a song that doesn’t ... read more

Latino Gang — +57 | NoteWorthy Review
Genre: Reggaeton
Rating: F

REVIEW REPOST!

The Latino Gang makes a song that is not only mid, but includes some questionable lyrics.

KAROL G, the main artist of the song, brings in many popular reggaeton artists, like Feid, Maluma, Blessd, and Ryan Castro, and makes a song that sounds like it was used from a type beat YouTube video. To put it bluntly, this is a generic reggaeton beat.

The lyrics are the biggest problems with the song. I found ... read more

LISA — Alter Ego | NoteWorthy Review
Genre: Pop Rap
Rating: D+

Hmm, that’s interesting. How come I still haven’t gotten to see your alter ego? Huh.

LISA is a Thai rapper and singer who is mostly known for being a part of BLACKPINK, and making hit songs on her own account, like Rockstar and New Woman. LISA announced a new album, and as the singles got better and better, it seemed like it was going to be good, right? Well, kind of. Let’s explain.

The production is ... read more
