Vince Staples - Cry Baby
84

Really fun and refreshing political hip-hop. Lives up to Vince's other projects. One of the best hip hop releases of the year for sure

Kim Petras - Detour
78

Was expecting something brat level low-key after the singles were so good, but sadly they were 90% of the standout tracks

Still definitely good and worth a listen. Gay electropop is so back

Genesis Owusu - REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE
78

A great blend of basically all my favourite genres. Genesis owosu is one of those artists where you never really know what the tracks going to sound like but you know it's gonna be good. This album was on par for him, with the singles being the best tracks - but the rest still should up the project on a good pedestal.

Politics are great here with some absolutely heater lines sprinkled about

"Elons a fucking weirdo, who gave these incels moolah"

JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
67

Who could have foreseen peggy rhyming Charlie Kirk with Charlie Kirk 4 times in a row.

This album is pretty good, production is great as usual, but I agree with the reviews saying this is peggy trying way too hard to prove his still this anti-establishment new exciting sound in hip hop when that's just not the case anymore. All the promo for this felt a bit off idk, but it's a peggy album so of course it still holds up.

Tame Impala - Currents
87

Classic for a reason. Such a vibey album it sounds amazing and it's impossible not to just get lost in the sauce. Top 10 chill boy albums fr

Action Bronson - PLANET FROG
76

I think my enjoyment of this album was dramatically improved by them saying planet froooog every couple tracks

Little Simz - Sugar Girl
56

How is this project so divisive lol. One of my favourite things about simz is her refusal to stay in one place - she's constantly experimenting and expanding her sound in such fun and interesting ways it's just sometimes it HITS and sometimes it's just okay.

This album is fine, but it kinda just does nothing for me, I wish the sound was a little more aggressive all round for UK trap but I think that's just a personal preference thing.

缺省 [Default] - California Nebula
69

A good shoegaze album, with a really cool cover, but I feel like it has been a little overglazed

1000 Rabbits - Are We Friends Yet?
78

Very exciting new band - I loved the singles and the EP held up :)

Can't wait to see what they do next, debating seeing them in moth club

Gary Moore - After Hours
74

Some fun blues rock that is only let down by overstaying it's welcome somewhat

Sam O - DON'T FAIL ME NOW
85

The production on this is impeccable. I feel like this brand of hyperpop/digicore is so hit and miss where the production is the make or break for the whole project and this hits the mark for sure. Recommend to anyone who liked Jane's album last year :)

Lip Critic - Theft World
94

One of the best most exciting and fun albums I've heard in a while. Batshit and a great listen - like death grips with a few more punky elements and more electronic bits too.

Demi Lovato - It's Not That Deep (Unless You Want It To Be)
34

Im still at a loss of why anyone would listen to this stuff when there's SO much better dancepop out there

Friko - Something Worth Waiting For
83

I am so pleasantly surprised by this album. From the singles I wasn't really sure how they'd fit together and what the vibe of the album was but it worked really well as a more stripped back more introspective, anxious and at times desperate listen.

I loved their last album a lot so I was hoping and praying they weren't going to be a one hit wonder - I'm very happy they're not :)

Blu & Exile - Time Heals Everything
72

Not reinventing the wheel but making a pretty good one. Very easy laid back listen, with blue&exile excelling at what they do best. They don't do anything particularly unique or special here, but they keep to such a high standard it doesn't really matter anyway.

Crumbs is the best track here

Magdalena Bay - mini mix vol. 2
54

It's a decent EP, but like most of their earlier EPs it just sounds like they're still trying to find their sound. Nothing is particularly polished or coherent, it's just kinda throwing electropop ideas at the wall until one sticks. I'm glad this overly poppy kero kero bonito vibe didn't stick

明日の叙景 [Asunojokei] - アイランド [Island]
81

Why does loser shit sometimes have to be good

drug bug - secret admirer
90

Am I crazy to think these tracks are better than most of the ones on the album. Every track here is great energetic and full of personality. While they are very short for the most part, which is why I imagine they got their own EP instead of being on the album, they are definitely worth checking out and are among the best of the year.

Jessie Ware - Superbloom
65

I mean it's a pretty decent Jessie ware album. If you liked her previous albums, chances are you'll like this one. I really wish she switched it up more stylistically - although admittedly I guess 16 summers was an attempt at that.

Still decent I like ride it's fun

My New Band Believe - My New Band Believe
65

Decent and interesting, but a little too much of a mess to make a coherent consistent listen. If you just took the singles they released I think it'd be better structured lol.

Just kinda stale but technically great
