review
-
Saba commendably tries to do something of depth on his sophomore album CARE FOR ME, but drowns in his influences.
-
Your Queen Is a Reptile should go down as one of the most exhilarating and revolutionary jazz records of 2018.
-
Thanks to its strong melodies and aesthetic, Isolation is a great and promising full-length debut from the Colombian soul singer.
-
Vacation in Hell has its share of great songs, but many of the deep cuts find the Zombies punching below their weight.
-
While the quality of Invasion of Privacy drops off a bit in the second half, it’s overall a promising commercial debut for Cardi B.
-
Total Xanarchy is way too drab to be even dumb fun.
-
Plague Transmissions Vol. 1 is one of the ugliest and most standout death metal projects I’ve heard in a while.
-
Kacey Musgraves softens and buries everything country about her music on the bland Golden Hour.
-
Jean Grae and Quelle Chris have a yin and yang chemistry on Everything’s Fine, one of the smartest, funniest, and most eclectic hip hop albums I’ve heard this year.
-
Though a bit predictable and restrained, Czarface Meets Metal Face is a solid collaboration that’s a cut above both parties’ most recent work.
