Voodoo is an rnb album for the ages, and while I slightly prefer the lusher and more vibrant sounds of it's predecessor, the stripped-backed harmonies of this album are nothing to scoff at. From the brain-tickling, borderline angelic vocals, to the passionately lustful lyricism, there's just so much to love about it. Personally, I think where this album really shines the most is when D'Angelo moves across his full vocal range on songs like Untitled (How Does It Feel), because, as ... read more
This should have been on the album.
Edit: Nevermind, he put it on his next "album."
Don't Tell The Dog was an album that I kind of lost track of after loving it's lead single, but I'm happy that I've finally gotten around to it, because it's actually pretty good! It's nothing groundbreaking, but it makes a really good case for why James Marriott should stick out among the ever-growing list of YouTubers turned musicians. I love his deeper voice, and while the instrumentals and writing on here are nothing INCREDIBLY unique, they are undeniably ... read more
Your Woman IS incredible, but I really wish the rest of Woman in Technology reached the bar it set. That's not to say there aren't any other good or even great songs on this project, but there's a decent amount of stinkers on here. Also, while there are a good amount of great tracks on here, I don't really feel that they fit together in a way that makes this outing feel like a fully furnished and thought-out body of work. None of this is to say that my listen through this ... read more
The first two remixes are fantastic! The third one is... There...
This might be her best song and I can't believe I forgot to review it.
The Provocateur is a great debut EP all around from ADÉLA. It's got some killer vocals and some electroclash beats to die for. Though, the last thing I'd want to do is omit to mention the bold and sexually charged lyricism that only does this release favors. I do wish ADÉLA took the experimental sounds on songs like DeathByDevotion and spread them throughout the entire project, but the cleaner songs on it are still absolute bangers. I love the energy packed into this ... read more
After a string of incredible singles, Avenoir finally has a debut worth raving about in Mirage. The combination of his gorgeous and sultry vocals, this album's silky-smooth production, and the lovesick lyricism is a winning one. The guys presence on here is nothing short of majestic. Sure, this album is about as brief as it possibly could have been, so the two weakish songs it does have impact the overall quality of the listen more than I would have liked, but Mirage is still a pretty ... read more
The Dead Dance and Can't Stop The High are awesome. To be honest, they really should have been on the main album. Kill For Love is the weakest of the three in my personal opinion, as it sounds like a combination of Zombieboy and The Dead Dance, but it feels far weaker either of those two songs. As always, I'm only rating the deluxe tracks with this review.
Why was this not on the original album? It's better than at least three songs on it.
Speak for Yourself is a magical album, and I really should have gotten around to it sooner. It's got some of the most addicting melodies of the 2000s, and it's electronic-heavy production was just so far ahead of it's time. Imogen Heap's voice is something otherworldly on this project, and while the glitchpop production on this album is nothing short of phenomenal, Imogen can carry a song with just her vocals alone, and I know she can because she actually did on Hide and ... read more
The last time I checked on Kurtis Wells was two years ago for my Music of The World review series, and since then, it sounds like he's been improving, because WOW is this EP fantastic! Sure, PSYCHO IN THE GAЯDEN's writing might not be anything to write home about, but the the production is just incredible on every level. It's absolutely stunning, with synths, guitars, and drums working in complete tandem to make you ascend to a higher plane of being. This EP sounds like how it ... read more
Lonely At The Top is yet another good outing in the amazing discography of Joey Bada$$'s, even though I think it's his weakest release to date. First off, Joey's pen is as bold and mesmerizing as ever on this album. Sure, there's a few exceptions, but I think that his writing is often this project's strongest aspect throughout it's brief runtime. However, this release's other strong points such as the beats are nothing to scoff at. The way they come together ... read more

On Crose47's review of JID - God Does Like Ugly
"You were a lot kinder to this album than I was, but I feel VERY similar. Of Blue was incredible, and WRK is very catchy, but the rest of the album was a really bumpy ride. I’m more than a little disappointed. The beats especially stuck out as really flat and one-note to me, and JID usually has great beat selection."
On n0ided's review of JID - God Does Like Ugly
"Summed up my thoughts exactly. I feel like people are just so excited for a JID album that they're completely ignoring the inconsistent mixing, bland as unseasoned chicken beats, and the lackluster pacing. I feel like I'm losing my mind because of all the praise this album's getting, while I'm here thinking that not a song on here is better than a single track off The Forever Story."

On Little Simz - Young
"@Rhino I didn't like Free a whole lot either, and that's the most "conscious" single yet. As for Young, I just find everything from the vocals to the instrumentals to be grating. The subject matter is fun, but I didn't connect with it because of how the track sounds."
On Sampha - Process
"@Crose47 Yeah, I'd have to wait and see how it ages for me. There were several parts that I enjoyed more than Lahai, but overall, I'd still give Lahai the edge."
On VallLikesMusic's review of Kanye West - DONDA 2 [Reissue]
"Thank you! I thought I was going crazy. Everyone just keeps complaining about Kanye and his releases but they're also the first one's to listen to his new music. I don't get why people write reviews pretending like they're martyrs for listening to an album of Kanye's or another "bad" artist's when they CHOSE to do so, most likely knowing beforehand that they wouldn't like it. I don't like VUTURES at all, so why am I going to waste my time listening to more of Kanye's new releases when I already know they likely won't be any better? The virtue signaling has been going crazy with Kanye as of late."
