«WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA» would kill a Victorian child if you played this in their vicinity.

Hey girl! Girl, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all, and doing it flawlessly! - Michelle Obama

If you know me IRL, you know I love this girl so much. «STARFUCKER» is probably certified titanium in my speaker and my household, so when she dropped «BEAT UP CHANEL$», the Electropop chaos immediately sent me into a spiral. It has been in a ... read more

«THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.» is theatrical.

RAYE has easily become one of the most interesting people in the music industry for me since she released her previous project, «My 21st Century Blues». It felt grand, big, lush, intricate, and emotionally charged. She managed to craft such an intricate album while also being an independent artist, which immediately captivated me with her talent and musical ear alone. Yeah, the lyrics and messaging of the album were also ... read more

«A Matter of Time» is soft and seasonal.

Who hurt this woman for her to write such gut-wrenching songs?

This is the second project I've heard from Laufey, and wow. She first captured my attention with the deluxe version of her sophomore album, «Bewitched.» It felt like a soundtrack straight out of an old Disney movie; the string arrangements were so alluring. The way Laufey used her soft tone of voice, singing slowly and drawing everything out, makes it a project ... read more

«Sexistential» is raw.

I’m not much of a Robyn fan; I don't know much about her other than the big singles that ruled the early 2010s, from her fifth album, «Body Talk». I did check out her project, «Honey,» when it was released in 2018, and I was instantly overwhelmed by the pure glory of synth and house that filled my ears as I pressed play. I haven't revisited that project that much, but whenever the songs that I saved come on shuffle, I ... read more

«PINKY UP» is interesting, to say the least...

I'm actually not that mad this time, at least in terms of production and sound of the song. The beat is interesting, the switch up between the hard chorus and the soft verse is nice, their voices actually sound nice, and they tried to showcase them vocally a lot better considering this is their third "TikTok" branded single, but....THAT'S ACTUALLY MY PROBLEM WITH IT.

I get wanting to brand to the quick and lack of ... read more

«Free Spirits» is light and airy.

First off, I have to say that I know absolutely nothing about these two guys; this is literally the first time I’ve listened to them while in my right mind—though whether I’m actually in my right mind is debatable, but I digress. This is essentially my first introduction to these guys and their music…okay?

Free Spirits… more like free brain rot, am I right, ladies? I’m not joking—that’s exactly ... read more

«Midnight Sun» is refreshing, warm, and fun.

This is the first project I've ever heard about from Miss Larsson, and my god, this feels right. I've always enjoyed her singles and thought of her as just another singles girl, not as something shady, but rather as someone who is always on my playlists and the radio and always floating in my music orbit. Not fully as a planet but as a comet that flies by just once in a while, and it's enjoyable… I mean, I say that, ... read more

«Sunday Best», are we sure this is the best?

“Boring, yawning, sloppy…. LAZY” - Abby Lee Miller

Yeah, I haven't heard a Nick Jonas track or even a Jonas Brothers one in a really long time, but I can't help but think that I kinda have heard all of this album before. It just feels really repetitive and bland, for lack of a better word. The lyrics are definitely not something for me lol, not that the whole lovey dovey is something that disgusts me, but ... read more

«Perrie» is a great introduction to Perrie as a solo artist, but it feels incomplete (even with 16 tracks).

Piggybacking off of my Jade review. I'm a huge fan of Little Mix. I like simple, fun pop music that picks me up from my usual cocktail of sad music, and they had it all: catchy pop hooks and strong vocals. When they decided to take their hiatus, my eyes immediately went to Perrie as the obvious one to take on a solo career. To me, she seemed to be the one with the most ... read more

«Apolonio» is a good project, but it feels flat at times.

I first listened to this project in 2020 when i as searching for new music to distract myself from the COVID pandemic, and I was so intrigued by the cover art, because I mean come on, it's actually stunning IMHO... Now, if you had asked me back in 2020 what my thoughts about this mixtape were, they would've been completely different from what I'm about to write...

So, «Apolonio»...I can say that ... read more

«DINASTÍA» is the most innovative sound landscape that I've heard from both of them.

Now I must preface my review by saying that the «corridos tumbados» genre is not my cup of tea personally, but this one was recommended to me by irl OOMF, so naturally I'm here...

«DINASTÍA» to me shows two things: the innovation that the team surrounding this release has, by adding those church choirs as background vocals, which adds so much more ... read more

*Phone rings in the distance*
BITCH, IT'S THE SERVE!!!!!!!

crazy that she's 4/4, slayyyter is securing that AOTY status so badly

«Fancy That» is short but impactful.

This is the first PinkPantheress record I've ever listened to, and I don't know a better way to have an introduction to her world of music other than «My name is Pink, and I'm really glad to meet you», like that's serendipity girl!!

«Fancy That» is a 20-minute demonstration of how strong at her craft Pink is! Her charisma, her ability to curate the perfect blend of Dance-pop and Uk Garage, there is ... read more

"Internet Girl" isn't viral; it's just diseased...

Jesus Christ, what's the point of having a reality competition based on charisma, singing, and dancing abilities if it's just going to come down to having the girls waste their talents on basically AI-adjacent slop? Imagine not understanding what made GNARLY such a home run and trying to recreate it less than a year later...

P.S. HYBE, I'm begging y'all to reconsider the choices you have made with these ... read more

«The Life of a Showgirl» is cringy at its best and tone deaf at its worst.

I'm gonna break my silence again, yes, I'm a former fan of Taylor...Something about her way she used to paint vivid portraits in my mind with her lyricism was something that became addictive to me. Her girl-next-door and relatability in lyrics were something that I got behind every single time. I even stood behind her during the whole Kim-ye situation, which my good seems like a whole lifetime ago. ... read more

«liminal space» is the third studio album from the internet sensation Mxmtoon. Where Maia's work has always had an honesty aspect to it, I feel like this is her most personal one. Dealing with moving back home and thus bubbling back to the surface issues like identity, childhood traumas popping back up, relationships with past partners and family members

«liminal space» makes for a fascinating record to listen to and try to catch the story that Maia's trying ... read more

«rising» is Maia at her best.

Two years after the release of her compilation work, «Dusk & Dawn,» Maia returns with her second LP, «rising,» which is a really fitting name that lines up with her previous works. «rising» feels like a mixture of the best of Mia's work for the last couple of years, keeping the relatability in her lyrics that worked so well on «The mascarade» and the upbeat and glowing production that we got on ... read more

«Dusk» is a more melancholic helping of her sister EP «Dawn».

Half a year later, Maia returns to release the sister EP to her previous one, «Dawn». My review for «Dawn» could also apply to this one; it's a great helping of melodies and lyricism, with a darker, sadder tone, dealing with feelings of heartache, loneliness, and feeling stuck.

I do feel like it hit a bit of a bump around «Wallflower». Not that it's a bad track, ... read more

«Dawn» is exactly the type of sound that suits Mxmtoon.

Just 7 months after the release of her debut album, Maia comes back with her second EP, and, my god, this is such a vast improvement for Maia’s sound! «Dawn» is exactly what it says it is; it feels like a warm ray of morning sunshine. I recently listened to this project while walking outside early on Sunday morning, and it fit perfectly. The lyrics are hopeful and enthusiastic, the instrumentals are soft and ... read more

«The Masquerade» is an improvement for mxmtoon

While «plum blossom» showed that Maia’s strengths lay in her approachable songwriting abilities, it had a major flaw for me, its lack of variation and experimentation in the production of the tracks, with all of them being just Maia and her Ukulele. Mia shows she is willing to play around with a few more instruments and production while staying close to the simple, chill ukulele-reliant vibe.

«The ... read more
