Here’s a journey for something that is beautiful, and yet, this album…
Miley Cyrus has been around in music for 20 years, as she first started as the star of Disney’s Hannah Montana before transitioning into a successful artist in her own terms and gone on with more mature topics and experimentations with her vocals and sound, which I’m assuming it’s consistent with her since the Bangerz era, but I’ve been mixed on Miley’s journey or her music ... read more
Nobody does it like JENNIE, huh?
So as the other BLACKPINK members have released their solo projects, it was now her turn. But JENNIE’s solo album would be long-awaited as she released her first solo single in 2018, but as BLACKPINK went into a hiatus, she was able to get the opportunity she left for years before picking back up again as a soloist, and eventually, she would make some impact, with this being easily the most acclaimed solo album out of all four members, and I can at least ... read more
The category is… MAYHEM.
Clearly, Lady Gaga is someone that needs zero introduction, as she was one of the biggest artists of the Club Boom era and proven to be a very versatile artist such as making more traditional Pop and even diving into acting, but there’s reasons on why Gaga is recognised as a Pop icon, and I get why, as I found her music journey to be a fascinating one, and I’m fine with her going on to be one of the biggest names of 2010’s Pop alongside Katy ... read more
Ok, this came in a more positive surprise
Rebecca Black is a singer from California, who I already discussed about her upbringing about her viral hit Friday, I mean, the last time I covered her was back in 2023 with her debut album Let Her Burn, and I thought it was a solid and yet promising album coming from Black and arguably a successful way to carve herself out from being the “Friday girl” but she was looking to reshape her sound anyway, as well as showcase her own songwriting ... read more
The name of this is “Superhuman” in German, huh?
Ok, G-DRAGON is an artist who had been in the K-Pop world for a while, as he started his career in the mid-2000’s with the creation of BIGBANG, who were very successful in South Korea in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s when K-Pop began to see international exposure thanks to YouTube, but around the same time, Dragon, who earned the title “King of K-Pop” also started working on his solo material, which ... read more
Yeah… this is going to be a long road with this one
LISA is a Thai rapper and singer who eventually got her start on being one of the members of BLACKPINK, alongside Jennie, Jisoo & ROSÉ, whose album I literally just covered a few months ago, and given that the group is in hiatus and every member is now putting out their own projects, LISA would be up next on the table, and unfortunately, I haven’t heard good things from her as a soloist, such as an underwhelming start ... read more
So close to greatness? Solid territory?
Tate McRae is a Canadian singer who has been a rising pop sensation since her 2020 breakthrough with you broke me first, before she would eventually drop a debut album and high-profile EDM collabs, and while I didn’t really get into her that much at first, although her sophomore Think Later saw some improvement in the writing and production, but she’s yet to have something like 10:35 to really grasp me, now five years in, the rollout for the ... read more
I should make more time for reviews, but here I am now
Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican artist who has been a huge deal for a while now, as he started getting traction in 2017 and 2018 in the wake of the Reggaeton craze, and from his 2018 debut he proved to be a standout, although it wouldn’t be until his sophomore album in 2020 that I started to see him as an interesting figure, and he would even experiment with different sounds in the next few albums, but for his sixth album, he decided to ... read more
First album review of 2025, let’s get this over with.
Lil Baby is a rapper that I’ve never been into for the most part since his rise in 2018, and he’s somehow still a big deal in the Hip Hop game, but outside of The Bigger Picture, not once I ever found him remotely interesting or even clever as a rapper, especially on how I hated My Turn in 2020 and I didn’t bother with his 2022 follow up, and now, to start off 2025, he drops another album Who Hard As Me (WHAM), and I ... read more
I’ll be very brief on LANA here.
It had now been two years since the original SOS album came out, and at the time, I was underwhelmed by it, didn’t help that it was swimming with 23 songs, but it turns out SZA had more in store for the era, as she would release a whole deluxe album with 15 songs, and I may crush some praise from it, but why did I like the overall experience here better than the original album?
I think LANA is more thought out, despite some mixing issues which is ... read more
Rosé’s first solo album, review start.
We’ve already known Rosé as a member of BLACKPINK, one of the biggest K-Pop groups in recent years, however as all members went on to venture on their own careers, and although I was never a BLACKPINK fan, I always thought Rosé is the best member, she has a solid voice and likeable charisma, she can fluently speak and sing in English given that she’s from New Zealand and grew up in Australia, and she has been living ... read more
This album is indeed like him.
Ok, this has been a wild couple of years for Kendrick Lamar, as I did check out Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers back in 2022, which I think is his weakest album, but still a good album as it tells his fans to not be over-obsessed about him while he was in recovery mode through therapy looking back on childhood trauma and his past experiences with women leading up to his current relationship with his now-fiancée Whitney Alford, as well as being a father of ... read more
This album’s such a-
Tyler is a rapper who’s not afraid to kick himself out of the box, as he originally started out with Odd Future before eventually would focus on his solo projects, although initially with controversy, but he would experiment more with every new album, getting the most acclaim he ever has as well as charting success, he’s really a one of a kind artist in Hip Hop, and this being his first album in three years had certainly built up anticipation, with him ... read more
This is probably one of my most difficult reviews I’ve done, hence why this took about a week.
The last time I got to hear an album from Halsey was back in 2021 with If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, which I remember finding it solid, although not quite as good as 2020’s Manic. I’ve been aware about Halsey as an artist for almost a decade, but not this closely as a person, as she went through bad relationships and more importantly, her personal challenges on her ... read more
Rod goes for the last lap and it didn’t really stick to the finish line.
Rod Wave happens to be one of the big names I see in Hip Hop in recent years, especially when he started getting traction in 2020 and has since been a go-to in Melodic Rap and often gets huge Apple Music streams, but in the state of the genre, where it’s been struggling to capture people’s attention compared to just a few years ago, and good on Rod for trying to stick for this long. However, I felt ... read more
This is really beautifully broken, isn’t it?
Jelly Roll is a singer from Tennessee who started out as a rapper in the 2000’s and has released many albums and mixtapes throughout that decade and the 2010’s despite several legal issues, but as we come into the 2020’s, he started singing more and was switching to new sounds, such as from 2021’s Ballads of the Broken, where he started making Country songs, some are on that album including the single Son of a Sinner ... read more
Ok, another album to catch up on in 2024, and of course it’s the second Afrobeats album I’m talking about.
Tyla is certainly an interesting case this year, as she is a South African singer who blew up very quickly with Water and is the first solo South African artist in decades to get a Top 10 hit in the States, but I wanted to look more into her, as I’m assuming from this self-titled album’s singles seem to prove she’s more than that one song, and thankfully, the ... read more
GloAlbum!
GloRilla is a rapper from Memphis, Tennessee who has been one of the most prominent female rappers in the game recently, even in terms of Southern Hip Hop. She first gained attention in 2022 with a viral hit F.N.F., and while it was moderately big, I wasn’t into her at first, but then she started making some bangers through collaborations and with her own songs too, and I never thought she’d get to this height. She continued to grow and I heard good things about her ... read more
Inhaling the music, while exhaling the words for this.
For more than a decade, RÜFÜS DU SOL have been a defying act in the EDM world, and more present in that scene in their native country Australia, where they originally began as RÜFÜS, with Tyrone Lindqvist for vocals, along with Jon George & James Hunt for production support, making some EPs leading to an independent deal with Sweat It Out! and began their journey with 2013’s Atlas, and since then, ... read more
Since I normally don’t review remix albums, I’ll be brief in this one.
The remix album to Brat comes in four months after the original album was released and it since achieved massive success and most of the songs even dominated the U.S. Dance charts for the longest time, so as I do an update on the original album, the remix album is although not completely different but the title does imply with similarities to the original album, and I’m even more mixed on this.
There are ... read more
