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

Lana Del Rey – Chemtrails Over The Country Club
Lana Del Rey has been a polarizing figure, and one of the most consistently compelling and thought-provoking songwriters working today, for close to a decade now. But after dropping the borderline worship of all things classic Americana and releasing a raw and honest masterpiece responding to the troubling times we’re living through, what could possibly … Continue reading Lana Del Rey – Chemtrails Over The Country Club
Justin Bieber – Justice
Well, here we are again. After a five-year-break away from the public eye in the wake of his album Purpose, which got just about everyone to throw their biases aside, dance wildly, and wonder if they had judged the man they call Bugatti Biebs too harshly, the iconic pop sensation returns with his second album … Continue reading Justin Bieber – Justice
Nick Jonas – Spaceman
Seems like even an iconic teen heartthrob like Nick Jonas can’t get the sales numbers going in the extremely quiet musical year that has been 2021 so far. Contrary to his other famous brother, Nick has been much more prolific with his public ventures outside of the brotherly band, and is now on his fourth … Continue reading Nick Jonas – Spaceman
Quinn XCII – Change of Scenery II
Apparently completely dialled into making music and the creative process while riding out the COVID-19 storm, Detroit singer-songwriter Quinn XCII delivers his second pandemic album and is currently on pace to land his biggest first-week debut yet. As evidenced by the album’s title, a sequel to a 2015 EP, XCII relocated to his main producer’s … Continue reading Quinn XCII – Change of Scenery II
Zara Larsson – Poster Girl
Though without the bevy of global smash hits attached this time, Swedish pop phenom Zara Larsson returns for the first time in four years with her third studio album. Still only 23 years of age, Larsson’s last project, So Good, certainly came equipped with great pop tunes but suffered from an overall lack of identity … Continue reading Zara Larsson – Poster Girl
Madison Beer – Life Support
Madison Beer, the former teen YouTube sensation and Disney tabloid fascination (you can thank a Bieber co-sign for that one) is now 21 years old and has been building up buzz on social media towards the release of her debut studio album. A highly personal journey into a dark pop soundscape, Beer sings mostly through … Continue reading Madison Beer – Life Support
Pentatonix – The Lucky Ones
Globally dominant a cappella quintet Pentatonix mercifully toss aside the Christmas covers – is everyone aware that they have FOUR Christmas albums? – and return with their second ever set of originals and first since their self-titled 2015 album. Once a boundlessly creative group, their transformation into grandmother-approved background music mainstays has essentially lessened the … Continue reading Pentatonix – The Lucky Ones
Why Don’t We – The Good Times And The Bad Ones
I’m only 24, but even as I cover pop culture extensively there have been a rapid increase in moments where I just feel impossibly old recently. With some pretty impressive sales numbers on this latest effort, apparently boy band Why Don’t We have had a massive fanbase for a couple years at this point – … Continue reading Why Don’t We – The Good Times And The Bad Ones
Taylor Swift – evermore
Taylor Swift might be the only person on earth having a truly productive 2020. Deep into re-recording her old songs in the midst of a dramatic custody battle for her masters and only four and a half short months after dropping her masterpiece, folklore, Swift has elected to release another set of tracks in the … Continue reading Taylor Swift – evermore
