After dropping one of the most surprisingly excellent projects of the year just under four months ago with the emotional and orchestral ode to pandemic life that was OK Human, this reviewer absolutely had to check out what veteran nerd-rock band Weezer was up to with their long-delayed Van Weezer. Hilariously, almost a complete opposite … Continue reading Weezer – Van Weezer
girl in red – if i could make it go quiet
The influence of TikTok on the music industry can’t be understated enough, but its nature of blowing up songs off of a tiny soundbite can cause the actual artists behind these smash hits to remain in relative obscurity. That’s evidently not been the case for girl in red, who is resonating with Gen Z in … Continue reading girl in red – if i could make it go quiet
DJ Khaled – KHALED KHALED
The walking, talking meme and motivational speaker with the keys to success is back with what is surprisingly his twelfth studio album – the man has been making hits since 2007 and shows no signs of slowing down, online derision aside. Once again hilariously “executive produced” by not only his two infant sons, but also … Continue reading DJ Khaled – KHALED KHALED
Porter Robinson – Nurture
Highly influential DJ and singer Porter Robinson, believe it or not, hasn’t put out a full-length project since all the way back in 2014. Admitting to an extended period of writers’ block, overthinking things and falling into states of depression in recent interviews, his long-awaited project Nurture has finally materialized – and it couldn’t have … Continue reading Porter Robinson – Nurture
Moneybagg Yo – A Gangsta’s Pain
Long seen as a mixtape-heavy “street rapper,” one of those figures who is much more well-known to his community than chart positions and sales numbers would suggest, Moneybagg Yo’s 4th studio album has finally seen him ascend to the top in the latter respect as well as he tracks for a #1 debut with A … Continue reading Moneybagg Yo – A Gangsta’s Pain
Greta Van Fleet – The Battle At Garden’s Gate
Anyone taking a glance at the Billboard charts over the last five years would be able to see that rock music has been stuck in a rut commercially and creatively for quite a while. Often heralded by the genre’s fans as the saviours to bring things to a new era, brotherly Michigan quartet Greta Van … Continue reading Greta Van Fleet – The Battle At Garden’s Gate
Young Thug & YSL Records – Slime Language 2
Never taking a break for a second, YSL Records label boss Young Thug has once again assembled the entire gang for a compilation project that stretches well past an hour in length. The sequel to the label’s first team-up back in 2018, Thug promotes his most dedicated protégé in Gunna to top billing, appearing on … Continue reading Young Thug & YSL Records – Slime Language 2
ILOVEMAKONNEN – My Parade
Seven years removed from his OVO-assisted smash hit “Tuesday,” ILOVEMAKONNEN’s career has been turbulent to say the least. Ever since, he has been bouncing around between labels, telling a couple shady stories of their behind-the-scenes dealings and ultimately going independent for the first time with his latest project, My Parade – which is technically his … Continue reading ILOVEMAKONNEN – My Parade
BROCKHAMPTON – ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE
Prolific experimental hip-hop collective BROCKHAMPTON are back after their longest break yet – just over a year and a half. With a membership of thirteen, including vocalists, producers, designers and art directors, there’s always bound to be tragedy striking a couple of them, and ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE is certainly no exception. Of course, … Continue reading BROCKHAMPTON – ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE
Demi Lovato – Dancing With The Devil…The Art Of Starting Over
The stereotype of child stars going on to have rough lives has always been prevalent in pop culture, and while it may unfortunately be true for the most part, it’s quite possible that nobody has had it worse than Demi Lovato. Accompanying a new highly intimate documentary about her struggles, Lovato’s 7th studio album is … Continue reading Demi Lovato – Dancing With The Devil…The Art Of Starting Over
