Ed Sheeran - =
48

For such a long project, the cohesiveness fails too much and the moments of pure musical enjoyment are very rare.

Standout tracks: Tides, Visiting Hours.

Myke Towers, Camila Cabello & Tainy - Oh Na Na
75

This is catchy as hell

FINNEAS - Optimist
70

Finneas is a very promising artist. Maybe the main issue with this project is that, even with many attempts of different sound blends, the compositions still remain safe and restrained.

Standout tracks: A Concert Six Months From Now, Only a Lifetime, How It Ends.

Lana Del Rey - Blue Banisters
79

On her 8th project, Lana delivers a human-like approach: filled with flaws and deep reflections, the mixing of the songs and even how the instrumentals lay down with her vocals may sound harsh or abrupt, but the incredible vocal performances and little gems throughout compositions hook you up a lot of times during the listening process.

Standout tracks: Arcadia, Thunder, Wildflower Wildfire, Living Legend, Sweet Carolina.

Alessia Cara - In the Meantime
82

Alessia’s best project to date. Although the sound exploration gets a bit dull at a few moments, the fresh production, captivating melodies and heartfelt lyrics elevate the album by a mile.

Standout tracks: Box In The Ocean, Lie To Me, Somebody Else, Best Days,

78

Pretty solid debut. The production is amazing and the lyrics really elevate the personal value of the project. There is room for improvement on some moments but for the bigger picture, it's a catchy and meaningful combination.

Standout tracks: MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name), INDUSTRY BABY, TALES OF DOMINICA, VOID.

Kacey Musgraves - star-crossed
77

Amazing album opener. The genre blending and mature lyrics come together beautifully on so many moments which makes this project so light and dreamy even considering how it approaches such a hard topic.

Standout tracks: star-crossed, simple times, breadwinner, easier said.

Lana Del Rey - Arcadia
87

Something about this song's structure just...really hits different, very simple and very powerful at the same time. Hyped for the album.

85

This impressed me. On a lyrical level, this is a new peak for Halsey, bringing a lot of amazing arrangements. The production sometimes sounds only loud instead of bold, and the pop/rock genre exploring seems a little confusing at times, but it still delivers enough layers to bring you back to this project.

Standout tracks: Girl is a Gun, 1121, Whispers, I am not a woman, I’m a god.

75

Lorde's third studio album brings a completely different approach considering her previous two projects. Now, this album obviously doesn't compare to the others, but it doesn't mean it's a bad one. The folk energy is actually pretty interesting and challenging with the "weird" compositions some of the tracks have, and even tho it's not as vibrant or punch-like, it's very welcoming and comforting.

Standout tracks: The Path, Solar Power, Fallen Fruit, Big Star, Mood Ring.

Iggy Azalea - The End of an Era
48

Iggy's last album brings a catchy club-like vibe on a lot of moments, but the multiple similarities also question how cohesive the project truly is. The majority of the songs are meant for specific vibes, which isn't terrible, but not amazing either.

Standout tracks: I Am The Stripclub, Is That Right, Good Times With Bad People.

Tinashe - 333
80

This is a solid blend between experimental and safer tracks. The sonic experience is not compromised because, at a lot of moments, her artistry shines and elevates the music.

Standout tracks: Bouncin, 333, Undo (Back To My Heart), The Chase.

Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever
90

This album can divide opinions regarding if it's indeed good music or not, but what an improvement from the debut. The experimental qualities are pushed at times but that's how you know this isn't meant to be a commercial bomb - instead, it shows the artistic value that is embodied as well with the maturity and the strong, raw lyrics.

Standout tracks: I Didn't Change My Number, my future, Oxytocin, OverHeated, NDA, Happier Than Ever.

Normani - Wild Side
75

Sadly I don’t think the Cardi feature is necessary but I love how Normani is delivering with the vocals.

Pabllo Vittar - Batidão Tropical
80

Super refreshing, a project truly made for dancing with amazing vocals, transitions and instrumental approaches.

Standout tracks: A Lua, Ânsia, Não é Papel de Homem.

Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits
40

I was afraid I'd hate it and sadly....yeah. Sounds unoriginal, too commercialized and repetitive.

63

Conceptually weird, but also with amazing delivery. This was indeed a confusing ride.

Standout tracks: Naked, I Don’t Do Drugs, You Right, Kiss Me More.

Rebecca Black - Rebecca Black Was Here
73

An interesting mix between hyperpop and pop. Although this isn't amazing music, there are fun little numbers that showcase a lot of potential to be yet explored on a bigger project.

Standout tracks: Personal, Blue, Worth it for the Feeling.

MARINA - Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land
78

Refreshing music with powerful lyrics and insanely great production. An amazing return for her.

Standout tracks: Purge the Poison, Highly Emotional People, New America, I Love You But I Love Me More.

Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR
73

For a high anticipated debut, she didn't really disappoint. It's basically an honest pouring of a broken heart, and although there are visible flaws and room for improvement there is also a lot of potential.

Standout tracks: brutal, drivers license, good 4 u, favorite crime.
