Album Review

Have you ever listened to an album that makes you feel so good and giddy like a teenager without any inhibitions? This feeling is vividly brought to life with Starchild’s newest album, Butterfly.

If good tunes is what you’re about and what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place. This Knotted Wood album is as good as it gets when it comes to nostalgic rhythms, progressions, and overall vibes. Even if you’re a youngster, you would most probably find yourself staying just because you have heard

Disaster on Neptune is what happens when someone locks themselves in a room with a synthesizer, a few unresolved emotions, and absolutely no intention of making “party music.” This is Mang’s solo debut, and it’s not here to hold your hand. Rather, it’s here to hold a mirror up to your face, dim the lights,

With a whopping fourteen songs, each and every one seems to have its own personality, yet it’s distinctly part of the collective whole that is this album. It’s far from stagnant, as it features a handful of genres – pop, funk, a bit of rock and even latin fusion – through them, Stephanie Bettman was

Everything about this record is pure and raw, almost like labor. Due to the vividness of the lines accompanied by heartfelt, honest tunes, listeners should expect to be swept off and be put in the same emotional state and literal setting that every song is meant to take them. The Ram opens his heart and

There’s a rare and deeply underappreciated serenity that settles in when you start a rap album and realize that it has absolutely no interest in being a TikTok trend. No trap-snare tantrums engineered for 15-second dopamine loops. No wink-wink challenges for teenagers in LED-lit bedrooms. No frantic metaphors desperately auditioning for a slot on a

With a balance of depth and transparency, each song on this record takes notice of the void in which audiences feel the need to fill when looking for new music to listen to. “All at Sea” by daidrum, a title that will be understood in due time, offers a selection of tracks mainly within the
