Coldplay - Moon Music
56

One small step for band, one giant leap for La’s.

Coldplay is an Alternative band that has been around for a very long time, as they are one of the most defining bands of the 2000’s & 2010’s and also a big part of my childhood, and also some of those who sees my reviews, and yet, they were seen as jarring in the past 10 years. Now, I rarely had a problem with the British band, I appreciated them with their more experimental sides, mixing their sounds with Pop, EDM and ... read more

What’s the opposite text slang for 143?

Katy Perry is an artist that I heard songs from throughout my childhood (and probably yours too) as she was once a dominant force in Pop music, but it wasn’t always like that. Katy has been around since her debut as Katy Hudson in 2001, originally as a Christian singer before that album didn’t go anywhere and that label would go out of business, she would then spend the majority of the 2000’s trying to find a breakthrough, and ... read more

Tems - Born in the Wild
69

Dialing back into the year with some albums to catch up on, and yet, some of the biggest albums from Afrobeats managed to be on that list.

I’ve been aware of Tems’ presence in music in recent years, especially with songs that crossed over, being featured on big songs and even putting out EPs, she’s an artist that is on the rise, and she has now released a full length album in June this year, which would be this and I definitely get the praise for it. Tems is a very ... read more

Fred again.. - ten days
49

For an album called ten days, is this really it?

Fred again.. is an electronic producer from the UK who was on the rise with the Actual Life trilogy in the early 2020’s as he established as one of the hot new artists in EDM, as well as a notable pop producer who worked with big artists such as Headie One, P!nk & Ed Sheeran, but I wasn’t fully impressed with his material, he does have a catalogue of hits and misses, but things are a little different this time, given that he was ... read more

Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet
44

Ok, this review isn’t going to be short and the results aren’t sweet either.

Sabrina Carpenter is a pop singer from Pennsylvania who had her start as a Disney actress for shows such as Girl Meets World, then starting making music around that time, she released her debut album in 2015 at age 15 before moving to music full-time, she then signed to Island Records in 2021 at 22 after four studio albums, that’s when she got a bit of attention… by responding to Olivia ... read more

米津玄師 [Kenshi Yonezu] - LOST CORNER
75

In terms of my experience with J-Pop & Yakousei recently, it was a matter of time before I cover this artist.

Kenshi Yonezu is a Japanese singer who has been around in the Japanese music scene for a long time, originally starting as a full on Vocaloid artist during Hatsune Miku’s infancy in the late 2000’s before blurring into reality when he began using his own voice and released his debut album under his own name in 2012, and since then, Yonezu had been rising in popularity ... read more

Tinashe - Quantum Baby
54

Just saying now, this one’s not going to make anyone here happy.

Tinashe is an artist who had been screwed over in the music industry for years, especially after she signed to RCA in 2012 following moderate success of her debut mixtape, and since her debut album in 2014, she’d been held back with albums getting delayed or scrapped, little control of her creative directions and virtually no promotion, and it’s that type of crap RCA does with so many of their R&B artists. ... read more

Post Malone - F-1 Trillion
53

Pop stars turning to Country music… it’s certainly a trend.

Post Malone is an artist that needs no introduction, as he was originally a rapper, turned pop singer, turned alternative and now turned country? This man refuses to shoehorned into one thing. But anyways, a Post Malone country album had been on the works for a while, especially after AUSTIN didn’t really put him back on top, it felt like he was going to fade into obscurity… until he went to Nashville, ... read more

Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D
68

REVIEW! ;)

Porter Robinson is a name I’m sure we all know from the EDM explosion in the 2010’s, he’s one of the most acclaimed electronic artists in recent memory, as well as having a larger than life journey, starting out as a limited mainstream DJ from his 2011 debut EP & 2014’s Worlds to a way more mellow and self-conscious artiste after a lengthy hiatus due to mental illness and joining independent label Mom+Pop, dabbling in experimental sounds on 2021’s ... read more

Ice Spice - Y2K!
28

This is the easiest review I’ve done in a while and it’s not a good one.

ice spice is a rapper from New York… and really, that’s what I can say about her as a rapper, because even though she was one of the biggest breakthroughs of 2023, but what else I can say about her? I haven’t been interested in her for her music for her very limited rhymes, but she can occasionally make something decent and that Boy’s a liar remix with PinkPantheress is easily the best ... read more

Childish Gambino - Bando Stone and The New World
59

This is not an easy one, and it’s the frustrating pace to the finish line.

Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino is an artist that I do respect in his time in the rap game, from his 2011 debut to the more experimental sides of him which helps him become one of the most recognisable faces in 2010’s Hip Hop, as he has a devoted fanbase, as well as pumping out albums that are respected to this day, especially 2016’s Awaken, My Love!. But as of late, it seems like his main focus ... read more

Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
81

She’s becoming the next big thing in Pop music and it’s glorious.

Look, there’s albums that I never got to review around late last year, probably because I was a dark place in the music world where I got angry at the Billboard charts, as well as some behind the scenes issues and Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS came out on the same month as this album, but I wasn’t keen on GUTS at that time and very much ditched everything in favour for Asian pop music which I’ll admit ... read more

Ado - 残夢 [Zanmu]
63

Yes… I’m actually doing this.

Ado is a Japanese singer who rose to fame in 2020 with Usseewa and became an overnight sensation in her native country Japan, then she would have a big 2022 with the release of her debut album Kyogen and casted as the singing voice of Uta for One Piece Flim Red, and since then, she’s currently one of the biggest idols of Japan, and what’s so polarising about her? I have been aware about Ado for years now since she first charted at the ... read more

Zach Bryan - The Great American Bar Scene
70

I’m kinda indifferent with this one

We already know who Zach Bryan is at this point, as I did like his self-titled album as well as the Boys of Faith EP, the former including a collaboration with Kacey Musgraves which went on to become one of my favorite #1 hits of the decade so far and brought some other good to great songs throughout 2023, but now, he seems to already gone into a new era and I was wondering what he could do next, but it’s still that similar sound you heard from ... read more

74

A lot’s happened in four years, huh?

I’ve been kind and supportive for Megan Thee Stallion as a rapper and a person, considering all the hell she went through, from being shot by Tory Lanez to her beef with Nicki Minaj, on top of leaving 300 Entertainment as her deal turned sour, but it seems like Megan now was ready to move forward and try to make some new music, as she’s now an independent artist upon starting her own label and is willing to not take any crap from anyone ... read more

Camila Cabello - C,XOXO
23

Camila, Camila, Camila… what are you doing?

In case you don’t know, Camila Cabello came to providence as a member of manufactured girl group Fifth Harmony from their formation on The X Factor in 2012, after being eliminated initially as a solo performer before being called back with the other members, and in the next few years, 5H would be one of the most popular girl groups of the 2010’s. Camila would leave the group in 2016 to focus on her own music career and released her ... read more

Charli xcx - BRAT
59

This one’s going to be one of my controversial takes, but it’s an honest review, so here it is.

I’ve been familiar with Charli xcx for a decade now, from her pop breakthrough in 2014 to delivering great projects for a dedicated fanbase she has, even with 2022’s CRASH, which I remember liking, but this now a new era for her, as she and her Asylum imprint left Warner and moved to Atlantic, as she was going to dive further in the Hyperpop sound as it seems like the ... read more

Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
84

Billie Eilish is an artist from the late 2010’s who I think is a very interesting case of herself as an artist, as we all know she has making music for nearly a decade, and we got to see her grow not only as an artist, but as a person too, and she has experienced some judgement of her body and a notable failed relationship, and she dives down to that matter on 2021’s Happier Than Ever, which I thought was similar in quality to her 2019 debut except some rock experimentation, and I ... read more

Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism
68

Dua Lipa is currently one of the biggest names of pop music today, as she would have a big start of the decade with 2020’s Future Nostalgia, which I remember reviewing on YouTube 4 years ago, and my review on that album is no longer up, but I loved the album, it’s a great pop album with tons of highlights that are fun to listen and even dance to, especially with the mega-hits Don’t Start Now and Levitating. But as the decade progressed, she was yet to make her next move, as ... read more

Taylor Swift - THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT
62

Ok, it’s become more clear that Taylor Swift is at the height of her powers as of this review, as 2023 really was her year, Midnights was a huge smash with the lead single being my top hit of that year, she would then perform at The Eras Tour and eventually lead Cruel Summer to experience not only a revival, but also becoming a long overdue summer hit, and off the re-recordings of Speak Now & 1989, she’s at prime position, but what no one saw coming was would eventually be her ... read more
