Annie Clark reinvents her sound once again at Daddy's Home. After electropop-infused MASSEDUCTION (2017), she takes inspiration from various retro genres, such as funk, soul, new wave and soft rock, at her sixth studio album. It is an experience you should not miss even if you are not into these genres.
I have known Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, for some time now especially for her 2017 album, MASSEDUCTION. This album connected the sound of electropop, noise pop, dance-rock and other ... read more

Certified Lover Boy sounds as bad as its cover art.
Drake is a superpower in music. He pushed the R&B-infused hip hop style into the foreground of the urban music scene at the beginning of his career and upon the beginning, he was only getting better. However, the significant downfall of the quality of his music started with the release of his 2016 record Views. This album had its moments when it was enjoyable, but for most of its track list of 20 songs, it was boring, lengthy and full of ... read more

If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power, Halsey's magnum opus, sounds so cinematic and atmospheric that it feels like you are actually watching a movie. It sounds like a religious experience even with its several shortcomings in vocals, songwriting and production. Such an improvement for an artist I have known for releasing mediocre pop music.

Although this album has its highs and its lows, it is an improvement over Kanye's previous effort, Jesus is King (2019). Sometimes it is long, sometimes it is perplexed, and sometimes it rather feels like a mixtape or "a playlist" than an album, but it is a listen worth all that, and a listen I do not regret.

Lorde's third album showcasts a brand new sonic image of the 24-year-old New Zealand superstar. The smooth, minimalist folky production sounds like the complete opposite to the maximalist electropop sound of Melodrama (2017). And while it does not top her magnum opus, I like the direction and the sound of Solar Power.
Lorde has never been my most favourite singer in the world but I have always respected her and seen her as a talented singer. When her debut album, Pure Heroine (2013), was ... read more

Hello friend, I hope you're having a great day! If you have any interest in participating in a list I'm making, here's the prompt:
Aliens have come down from a previously unknown planet, and touch down right in front of your house. You come outside, and they speak English somehow, but they ask you for one thing- to give them a human album. You have an MP3 player, but it only can hold one album of any length. You can give the aliens any album for any reason, but please explain why you chose the album you chose.
Thank you for answering (if you do), and have a great day!

I'm literally just another 17 y.o. weirdo from the middle of Europe who has nothing to do with his life. I listen to music almost all the time (probably even right now), so I try to be productive and write reviews.
