Baby Montero is finally here!
After years of dropping singles and being one of the funniest people on the Internet, global pop star Lil Nas X delivers his debut album 'Montero'. My expectations for this record were pretty high. Although I wasn't a fan of his music when he first went viral, I became more and more interested in his music when the singles for Montero started dropping. Montero (Call Me By Your Name), Sun Goes Down, and Industry Baby were all great and and a display of the ... read more

A couple years ago, the then 17 year old Billie Eilish took the world by storm with her unique and intriguing debut album WWAFAWDWG. This record was rare due to its ability to simultaneously satisfy music critics and reach the top of the charts. What was most impressive about this album was that it was produced and written solely by Billie and her brother Finneas.
Now, two years later, Billie and Finneas joined forces again to create Billie's sophomore record 'Happier Than Ever'. The ... read more
