Kali might be the only artist I would listen to in this genre. This genuinly might be my favorite album of hers. Te Mata and Dame Beso // Muévete are some great songs too.

The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy
90

This is my favorite record so far this year, which doesn't mean much since the only other record I've rated is Dave (and we all know how that went). The year also isn't off to a strong start I get that, but being number 1 in anything is good... right?

There isn't a lot of weak moments on this LP. Whether they are industry plant or not, you can tell they spent some time in the studio together during the early pandemic days. This is a very well put together record that can showcase how good of a ... read more

This is the best way to convince me to NEVER EVER watch Dave. Thanks for the heads up Dave!

Sean Leon - IN LOVING MEMORY
80

Let's put it that way: this is a decent RnB/Neo-Soul record that is heavily carried by the big names on here. Very surprising to see Kanye on here but it was welcomed.

78

I don't really get the slander this record receives. Yes, it can be quite corny. Yes the instrumentals are pretty basic and Wilbur's voice isn't the best. But some tracks are pretty good. What did y'all expect, and album filled with Your New Boyfriend type beat tracks?

Frog - Grog
83

This is a nice surprise. It's a very interesting record from a band I had never heard of but they do very well in their sound. It's a shame that otd of writing this, there isn't a song on here with over 100k streams on Spotify. Also, that cover rocks!

Jimmy Poindexter - SHAZAM
78

JIMMY definitely needs more exposure. SHAZAM deserves a lot more praise, I haven't heard anybody talk about this record. FIGURE IT OUT has been on heavy rotation recently. It's not all good and the highs are really high but it's too long, it drags on too much.

quannnic - Stepdream
77

Shoegaze continues to disappoint me again and again. I don't get the appeal of this genre, and particularly what could be special about this record. Decent score, and yet it's just an okay album. I don't get it...

Yes* - Club des Coeurs Solitaires
79

J'aime bien ce que Yes a fait ici. Il prouve qu'il est un membre important dans la communauté du rap queb et qu'il est capable de faire de l'excellente musique sans ses potes des Dead Obies.

Kevin Abstract - Blanket
76

My hopes were high for this record just because of how much I actually liked Arizona Baby, and while I do enjoy a lot of Brockhampton's music, I didn't expect this to sound exactly the same. Kevin tries a new sound on here and it's interesting but not always a hit. I can't say it reached the hopes I originally had, but this has the potential to grow on me, it's a new sound for sure.

Fetty Wap - King Zoo
78

This is a huge score for a Fetty album. I did not expect to get any enjoyment out of this and I found myself wanting to relisten to it. It's no Trap Queen for sure, but I don't think anybody expected this in 2023. It's not too bloated which makes it easier to listen through.

Frost Children - Hearth Room
70

I really thought that I had enjoyed this back when it came out. Turns out it's a pretty uninspired piece of work, We didn't need the extra kind of emo style, it doesn't sound good..

Brent Faiyaz - Larger Than Life
81

It's not as good as Wasteland but the bar was high after the success that album had. I do still believe that this is a great record by Brent with an insane cover too.

Poppy - Zig
73

This is one of my biggest disappointment of 2023. The ending is better, but the entire first half (and maybe even more) is a mess. It sucks, I like Poppy’s music.

Bombay Bicycle Club - My Big Day
87

Never in a million year did I think this was going to rate that high but everything Bombay Bicycle Club did here was super high quality. It's one of the better indie pop record of the year (last year I guess) for me.

Slow Pulp - Yard
80

I’ve heard some more inspired indie music this year but this still delivers very much. Broadview sounds like Sparks by Coldplay in my mind, I might be crazy though…

Pitbull - Trackhouse
48

Ngl I was very much vibin' to Lit In The City. Basically every track on this record is meant to vibe to, but some songs don't really give me the energy to stand up and dance. The terrible usage of samples throughout this album is also very much a turn off...

To be honest, that's what you should expect out of a Pitbull record in 2023. The score I'm giving it doesn't really reflect how much I'd dance to it in the club or with my buddies though. Rare case of a very mid album that I'm glad I ... read more

BoyWithUke - Lucid Dreams
41

This is the ukulele version of Oliver Tree and the world did not need a ukulele version of Oliver Tree. I'm sure they work together or something.

Oliver Tree - Alone In A Crowd
35

I hate everything about Oliver Tree literally. I can’t stand the way he sings and the way every song… sounds basically…

Kylie Minogue - Tension
73

I can’t stop seeing this record or songs off this record in year-end lists. And nothing is good enough or bad enough to be year-end list material. So mid…
