⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Impeccably accurate song titles assist in making the hardcore electronica of DROELOE’s EP more understandable by painting detailed pictures of otherwise exhilaratingly abstract songs.
Know. – Jason Mraz
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Jason Mraz returns with a carefree celebration of love, life, and his career in music with pockets of goodness among a somewhat lackluster tracklist.
finding it hard to smile – lovelytheband
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
lovelytheband’s debut album is a powerful, multifaceted description of post-breakup depression that amplifies its effects, employing heavy amounts of nostalgia and reminiscence.
NOVA – RL Grime
⭐⭐⭐
On his second full-length album, RL Grime attempts at a futuristic take on the modern electronic album, most apparent when he uses an instrumental approach that means so much more than lyrics. However, the incorporation of too-familiar voices and sounds distract and obscure the intent of the album.
TA13OO – Denzel Curry
⭐⭐⭐✨
A valiant effort at displaying his originality, Denzel Curry’s TA13OO is a mixed bag until he circles back to the same sound as his viral hit ULTIMATE, the only way he can authentically address the taboos that he aims to discuss on this album.
Hive Mind – The Internet
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
After a three year hiatus, The Internet are back, more passionate than ever. Their organic sensuality and a smoothly blended-together set of songs reaffirms their status as R&B royalty, and signifies a long-awaited return of funk music.
Head in the Clouds – 88rising
⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
The collective’s first album is a trailblazing moment in history for Asians in the music industry. Its nostalgic, lo-fi vibe succeeds putting forth a vibrant lineup of artists that each get a chance to showcase their individuality.
Palo Santo – Years & Years
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Years & Years’s sophomore album is a toast to their unusual success as an synth-pop band, and is a commitment to the pop-infused sound that characterized their first album.
