Album Review

Pop music hits so hard when it’s packed with sleek beats, attitude, and character all throughout. Amara Fe owns the spotlight with all three on her sophomore album “SHIFT”, a record built on confidence and self-worth. Best for mirror shots, grwms, or on days you’re beaming with main character energy. Hailing from US, rising star […]

You’ll definitely know when an artist loves to create. There’s no hesitation, no attempt to sound acceptable or perfect. quilium‘s debut album “holy shit” will give you a hundred percent of that energy, where impulse and guts dominate more than resemblance and predictability. Bedroom producer quilium debuts with 20-part album holy shit. This record is

Hip-hop will always be more than just empty flexes about money, power, and grind. roar taylor‘s latest album “kostner” proves that point. Beneath the surface lies ambition, survival, and above all, authenticity — the DNA of the culture itself. kostner is a 10-part project from Chicago-based hip-hop artist roar taylor. This album has been in

Dee Dasher’s Conscious Home is an album that’s simultaneously grounded in her Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania roots and ambitious enough to flirt with big legacy energy. Let’s get one thing out of the way: Dee Dasher’s voice. If Stevie Nicks ever wandered into the 21st century folk-pop landscape, clutching a ukulele instead of a tambourine, she

So, Meena put out an album called Different Now. And honestly? It is. Different, that is. It’s one of those records that refuses to sit down politely and say, “Here’s a genre you can file me under.” Instead, it leaps across shoegaze, trip-hop, electronics, and whatever other moods happen to pass through the studio, then

There’s a special kind of boldness in titling your record Grace First. It’s the sort of name that sounds like it should be stitched on a motivational pillow, but in practice becomes this sharp thesis statement: whatever else happens, whatever braggadocio or flexing or chaos exists in the record, it’s grounded in the simple idea

There’s something inherently funny about naming your album summrWondr. It looks like someone took out all the vowels because they were too expensive, but what you get in return is an accidental mission statement: no excess, no fluff, just the essentials. And that’s what this record feels like; an album stripped down to memory, sample

In 2025, it’s rare to hear a hip-hop record that feels like a record. Most “albums” now arrive as Spotify fodder: trend-chasing playlists designed by committee, padded with features from whichever TikTok darling has clout this quarter. John Keenan’s Wreckage of the Past, though, doesn’t play that game. It’s 18 tracks, entirely self-produced, with no
