Yeah so, after a few listens, I think this album might be my favourite of the bunch, for different reasons.
Firstly, let me get this out of the way, if you have somehow ranked this lower than an 8, you're wrong. This album absolutely hit the nail on the head in-terms of conceptuality. It is so technically impressive, I was left with my jaw wide open at the end of most songs. The sampling is so, so damn impressive and fits so well. I especially loved the Dre like synths as a throwback there, it ... read more

Although not as ambitious as SOUL LADY, a still euphoric listen that definitely lifts the soul and makes you want to dance.
YUKIKA does consistently make bangers, definitely didn't feel as city-pop as SOUL LADY did, but that's okay. Would really recommend this to anyone.

I really wanted to like this, especially being a BH fanboy, but this.. this is not it.
Don't get me wrong, I like 2 tracks on this EP, but my god does it feel so flat. I wouldn't say it sounds uninspired, because it does, but the execution is pretty bad.
Not big hopes for the future project if it stays the same energy as this, big sad as BH usually scouts some pretty promising talent (e.g. Dom Fike).

Hugely impressive in comparison to Voice Memos, the production on this is fantastic and shows a great direction he is heading on.
If we are going to bundle him up with YouTubers, probably the best YouTuber album to come out, even exceeding Joji imo.

Yeah, really wasn't digging this one. In comparison to the beauty we got from BUZZCUT, was definitely wanting some more experimental shit. Hopefully this isn't the vibe on the album.

Hellooo there! I hope you are having an amazing, happy and healthy day today <3
I’m making a ‘Comfort album’ list which would be a go-to album to listen to when we are upset or having a hard time, as music is a source of happiness or comfort to many people. As we are facing such a hard time right now with the COVID-19 pandemic, I believe with this list, we can as a community gather as many albums in a list for anyone who may be looking for a certain album that puts them in a good mood, calms them down, or like I’ve stated before.. comforts them! If you would like to submit an album that does that effect for you, please list these 4 things, album name, artist, and a sentence as to WHY you love this album and WHY it’s such a comfort album for you. It could be because of the lyrics, how it makes you feel.. etc. You may explain it in either one sentence or however many sentences you want, it is your choice! BUT, If you do not have one, no worries then <3 Thank you for reading!

Hello, I love your album reviews.
My new EP, a very short one has just released. Will be grateful if you listen and review it. I need honest review, it could be harsh but I want to know what people thinks and how can I improve. There's is some Hindi Lyrics (very few) but the 90% of the album is English. Attaching the AOTY and Spotify link. Will be grateful forever if you respond. 🙏🙏

Hello Ymer! What is an album that you've given a 100 score, and why so?
Simple explanations are fine enough, but detailed reasoning is of course welcome. If you have multiple 100s, then just pick one of them as your answer. It's for a list by the way. Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

Dreadful year, however these albums helped the year go by just a little better.
