«plum blossom» is plain at best.

LOOK, before y'all throw the unfollow button at me, yeah, I'm an mxmtoon fan. Something about the simple melodies, the softness of her singing/talking, made the top of the charts in my household when I needed something to put in the background or listen to something while I studied, and also helped me go through my coming-of-age movie phase I went through. So Yeah, I still have a soft spot for this music and her as an artist...

That being ... read more

«Autopoiética» es un nuevo comienzo para Mon Laferte.

No voy a pretender que he sido fan de la música de Laferte, el mayor conocimiento que tenía de ella fue en su auge mainstream que tuvo con su primer y segundo álbum de estudio a mediados de los 2010, «Mon Laferte, Vol. 1.» Y «La Trenza», álbumes que generaron singles que hasta el día de hoy siguen sonando en el canon de la música mexicana. No eres ... read more

Mozart if he slayed

«BEAUTIFUL CHAOS» is exactly that.

A little bit less than a year later since their original debut, the newest global girl group comes back with ANOTHER (?!?!?) EP that shows a lot more variety this time around, but still feels like a compilation of singles rather than a complete project and vision for the group.

My main problem with this project —and the previous one at that— is not with the girls, I think that they all have a start quality to them and they sound ... read more

«SIS (Soft Is Strong)» is a cute project, but SIS, my hopes were higher.

KATSEYE, the new girl group on the block created from an experiment to blend the K-pop aesthetics and public with a more "international" outlook to try and capitalize on the outside market that exploded due to BTS's fanbase at the end of the 2010s. I just recently finished watching for the first time their documentary «Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE» and I had heard before the tracks ... read more

«The Provocateur» is deeply personal and bold without bashing it over our heads.

She peed on the mother alleyway and refused to clean it up, so now there is mother pee everywhere!!!!!

I just finished watching «Pop Star Academy: Katseye,» and I was getting so pissed at how much they misstreated the girls without them knowing first what was gonna happen to them at the trainee program, and when the survival show started and Adéla was cut, I was floored. Even though ... read more

«Laurel Hell» is a misconstrued project.

Between 2019 and 2021, Mitski became a viral sensation all over the internet due to her song «Nobody,» which caught the ears of everyone and immediately turned their heads to her. The catchy and disco-influenced track, with its upbeat production, is enough to distract from the quite depressing lyrics, and it's everything the internet had hoped for, especially given the isolation we were all feeling due to the COVID pandemic ... read more

“THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY!” is an explosion of pop perfection.

*Raven-Symoné "Let's eat!!!" reaction vid*

Now, I'm no stranger to Jade, because I've always been a huge fan of Little Mix. Okay, I like simple and fun pop music, and they had it all: catchy pop hooks, amazing harmonies, and power vocals. The girls had all that it takes to become huge everywhere. Unfortunately, the girls were given the short end of the stick in terms of management and ... read more

“Be the Cowboy” is meant to be listened to alone.

My god, it’s been 7 years, and this project still hits like a motherfucker.

This was the first Mitski album I had ever listened to. I remember being enamoured by the track “Nobody,” so I decided to give the album a listen. The track felt like spiralling into madness to me: the slow start, looping instruments, Mitski’s voice slowly becoming stronger and less breathy, all while the lyrics become more and ... read more

"me estoy volviendo loca" es un dolor de cabeza

"Tiktok: The album"

Es raro intentar hacer una reseña de este álbum sin mencionar las claras referencias de las que intenta tomar, así que ni lo intentaré. EMJAY en este proyecto intenta recrear la estética de la "Partygirl" creada por Charli XCX, pero donde a Charli su estética es creíble por su manera de ser, para EMJAY este intento se ve forzado y en muchos ... read more

"Virgin" is Lorde's most raw album to date.

And just like that, a new Lorde "Must-Hear" project has hit the Pentagon.

I must admit that Lorde lost a little bit of faith from me when she released "Solar Power" a couple of years ago. Not that the project is bad per se, but the more folk and psychedelic sound approach to it, paired with the lyrical themes of disdain for fame and summer escapism when the world was still in lockdown, definitely didn't pair ... read more

"Addison" is propaganda *I AM* falling for.

There is no way in hell Adisson Rae released one of the best projects of the year?...well fuck me in the ass this is one of the best projects of the year...

I think most of you are familiar with Addison Rae from the beginning of her career as a TikToker who recreated viral, famous dances that were popular on the platform. However, I know her from something different. Not to be the "I'm not like other girls..." but I know her ... read more

"Something Beautiful" lives up to its title.

Oh yes, the "commercially successful album that grants the ability to create a more experimental and ambitious follow-up record without the hesitation from their label" pop star pipeline.

I'm now at the end of my Miley Cyrus deep dive. I can say that while the start was kinda rough, I've found a new appreciation for Miley's artistic endeavors, and what better way to end this journey than with what I consider her ... read more

"Endless Summer Vacation" is completely inoffensive.

Every Miley album cycle starts the same way: a big single that deviates from the previous sound Miley experimented with in her last project, and an album that is cohesive to that single. I appreciate Miley's willingness to try anything out at least once, but with the big Home Run that Miley hit in her previous project, "Plastic Hearts," I expected her to continue through that musical lane. I loved "Flowers" ... read more

"Plastic Hearts" is the best Miley project by a mile.

Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 105!

Miley Cyrus has a bit of a rocky road in terms of discography. Being a child star since 2006, with the rise of the Hannah Montana persona for the Disney Channel series by the same name, Miley has garnered a notable musical legacy, with five albums released under the Hannah Montana name, three albums, and one EP under the Disney Musical Label. Four LPs and one EP—to the date of ... read more

"SHE IS COMING" is weird as hell...

I'm gonna make this short because I don't have many thoughts on the project other than it shows Miley's ability to screw over a project with bad choices and bad tracklists.

I can't understand how Miley could've crafted "Mother's Daughter," which is this cool and aggressive electropop track that's nothing like Miley has done before, and then out of nowhere, we get the not needed and putting verse of ... read more

"Younger Now" has a great start but falls flat halfway through.

Pop stars going country? In my house? It's more likely than you think...

I've always been a fan of pop stars going on a country route to stripping back the persona and the performance that goes with being a pop startt to try and channel a deeper connection to their craft and artistry—Lady Gaga's "Joanne" is my favorite album by her (I know put down your tomatoes.) I remember when Miley ... read more

"Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz" is, to say the least, interesting...

Picture this: the year was 2015. I was just a mere blooming homosexual watching the VMAS, we had just received the iconic moment "Miley, was good?", and to end the show, Miley decided to perform the song "Dooo It!" with multiple drag queens. I'm not going to lie, I didn't understand what I was watching, but I was intrigued that a new Miley project was dropping. So excited that I ... read more

"Bangerz" is carried by its singles.

Miley Cyrus's biggest career reinvention to date came with a provocative and scandalous image. Being heavily associated with the Disney Channel show "Hannah Montana", it's understandable that she needed something big and scandalous to shake this image of her so she could, in a sense, be free from this past that didn't allow her to express herself creatively. "Bangerz" is this "good girl gone bad" ... read more

Traumazine is tedious.

Now, I'm not that much of a hip hop connoisseur or a huge listener of it, to be honest, but I decided to give this album a listen because of some of the tracks that I already know and like, like "Her," "Anxiety," and "Plan B." I thought that maybe I would vibe with this project a lot more because I'm a fan of Megan as a person (outside the commercialization of tequila, sorry for being the "friend that's too woke," ... read more
