One of the music industry’s most obvious masters at the game of making connections, Swedish R&B singer Snoh Aalegra has been steadily growing her profile for years, delivering standout features with artists like dvsn, Giveon and Alicia Keys and finally being signed to Roc Nation just last year – not to mention being praised extensively … Continue reading Snoh Aalegra – TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES

H.E.R. – Back Of My Mind
Already having picked up multiple Grammys and even a 2020 Oscar before releasing her proper debut album, R&B songstress H.E.R. has now firmly moved past her mysterious phase of relative anonymity and swiftly into the public eye. Breaking out onto the scene with soaring and melismatic soul ballads, in recent years she has been drifting … Continue reading H.E.R. – Back Of My Mind
easy life – life’s a beach
It’s one of the quieter release weeks of the year, so it’s time to take a look at what’s happening on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Pop and R&B group easy life have been building momentum in their home country of the UK with a series of mixtapes, recently being named Best New … Continue reading easy life – life’s a beach
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
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
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
Giveon – When It’s All Said And Done … Take Time
California R&B artist Giveon is just another massive benefactor of the all-powerful Drake stimulus, rising rapidly to prominence after the then-unknown was featured on a single from the 6 God’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes early last year. Now with a Grammy nomination under his belt, he has combined his first two EPs into a full-length … Continue reading Giveon – When It’s All Said And Done … Take Time
ZAYN – Nobody Is Listening
Perhaps returning with a title that’s a little too on the nose, the most elusive former member of OneDirection’s third studio album is here. Famously averse to the public eye and seemingly perfectly fine with not achieving the same level of success as some of his other former bandmates, ZAYN has been busy living an … Continue reading ZAYN – Nobody Is Listening
SAINt JHN – While The World Was Burning
As SAINt JHN so aptly points out himself on one of the songs on his latest project, he should have blown up about five years ago. Although the worldwide smash hit that is the Imanbek remix of his 2016 single “Roses” doesn’t necessarily sound like his music at all, there are still quite a few … Continue reading SAINt JHN – While The World Was Burning
Ariana Grande – positions
Well, that “break” that she said she needed didn’t last very long. One of pop music’s most prolific and influential figures has returned once again with her third album in just over two years, following up a pair of highly personal albums that catapulted her into an entirely new level of superstardom and critical acclaim. … Continue reading Ariana Grande – positions
