Demi Lovato - HOLY FVCK
74

This project brings a trip to memory lane with the pop/rock exploration. Maybe there are too many tracks that point out repetitive patterns, but the explosive compositions layered with the vocal delivery make for a pleasing experience overall.

Standout tracks: SUBSTANCE, EAT ME, 29, COME TOGETHER, 4 EVER 4 ME.

BLACKPINK - Pink Venom
55

Underwhelming but there’s potential here

Lizzo - Special
65

Lizzo's new project combines nostalgia with modern musical approach, and is overall a feel-good album. Sadly, the potential falls short with too many similarities and missed opportunities for build ups.

Standout tracks: About Damn Time, 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready), Naked.

Sabrina Carpenter - emails i can't send
73

This projects brings vulnerability and multiple-gender blending as its main highlights. Even if a little repetitive, there is enough hype for multiple visits and for what upcoming projects might deliver.

Standout tracks: Read Your Mind, because I liked a boy, Fast Times, decode.

Harry Styles - Harry's House
73

Harry's House offers an intriguing journey with multiple genre combinations, but the mixing complications and repetitive moments take a lot of the value this project could've had.

Standout tracks: Late Night Talking, As It Was, Little Freak.

Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter
93

A beautiful blend between a folklore approach and dream pop, the project doesn't feel overwhelming even considering the longer tracks. Creates, instead, momentum and excitement that is carried notoriously from start to finish.

Standout tracks: A House in Nebraska, Family Tree, Hard Times, Televangelism.

Florence + the Machine - Dance Fever
85

This project might not be for everyone, but the flow and expression, delivered with the tight harmonies and intricate production, create the urge of listening to the full body of work more than once.

Standout tracks: Back In Town, Free, Cassandra, My Love.

BANKS - Serpentina
70

Although we are presented with beautiful melodies and productions, the project somehow feels repetitive and far-out.

Standout tracks: Meteorite, Burn, I Still Love You.

Camila Cabello - Familia
74

Familia brings ambition and an interesting genre combination, but leaves a feeling that it could be even bolder. The project is laced with interesting creations, but most still feel generic and timid.

Standout tracks: Celia, La Buena Vida, Hasta Los Dientes, Lola.

Harry Styles - As It Was
75

Not the best lead single, but still amazing.

89

An amazing combination of futuristic elements, nostalgia and contrasting messages. This project states an incredible evolution for Rosalía and how she keeps on exploring music genres, song structures and cohesive themes.

Standout tracks: SAOKO, HENTAI, DIABLO, COMO UN G, LA COMBI VERSACE, SAKURA.

78

Electrifying blend of old school pop and Charli's well known tweaks. The project doesn't really aim to be something bigger, but this is yet another proof that effortlessly good music really is her brand.

Standout tracks: Crash, Good Ones, Move Me, Lightning.

Kim Petras - Slut Pop
39

There could be a way of making this concept work, but this isn’t the one. Replay value exists but it’s barely there.

Sabrina Carpenter - Fast Times
80

Unexpected sound change but it fits her beautifully

AURORA - The Gods We Can Touch
79

“The Gods We Can Touch” truly feels like a experimental project, combining amazing vocal performances with intricate productions. Even if some moments make you wish for more, the majority are very pleasing and exciting.

Standout tracks: You Keep Me Crawling, Exist For Love, Heathens, This Could Be A Dream.

FKA twigs - CAPRISONGS
80

Twigs has such an intricate mind, if anything the mixtape showcases beautifully her strongest aspects as an artist. It's not ambitious, but effortlessly great.

Standout tracks: meta angel, tears in the club, papi bones, careless, thank you song.

The Weeknd - Dawn FM
83

This man really knows how to create chill, emotional and artistically interesting projects. The transitions are amazing and the production is spot on almost every time.

Standout tracks: Gasoline, Take My Breath, Out of Time, Less Than Zero.

Adele - 30
79

After a long time, Adele finally released her new project. There is a boldness present on the arrangements, as quite some experimentation is made if we think of her previous records, and even if the sound is somewhat mirrored a lot of times, the lyrics and rawness of the topic make you connect with it, even if you haven't experienced yet yourself.

Standout tracks: Easy On Me, My Little Love, Woman Like Me, Love Is A Game.

Taylor Swift - Red (Taylor's Version)
90

Red truly embodies the "happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time" mindset. The re-recorded project elevates the value of the album, not only by remembering us how well it portrays and details heartbreak, but also by showing how country and pop can blend beautifully on so many tracks.

Standout tracks: State of Grace, Red, All Too Well, I Almost Do, Nothing New, Message In A Bottle.

Lauren Jauregui - PRELUDE
76

With a small project, Lauren's debut introduction leaves more to wish for, only because it's so short. The vocal delivery, layered harmonies and song structures make you enjoy the album on a lot of small moments, while there's also a comfortable place for evolution. It seems focused, real and secure on its ground.

Standout tracks: Colors, Scattered, Falling, On Guard.
