For fans of: CHVRCHES, flor, ODESZA, BROODS Lights’ highly-anticipated 5th album released on Apr. 1. Releasing the bold “Prodigal Daughter” as PEP’s first single, the singer claims her spot back as electropop’s hottest. 1. “Beside Myself” The album first starts with a light (ha!) and airy tune, differing from most of the album. According to […]

Mayday Parade announced their 2022 tour, the 11th Anniversary Self-Titled Album Tour, last week. Their self-titled album was released on Oct. 4, 2011. Out of their 6 studio albums, their self-titled still has some of their strongest work. It is my personal favorite, and lead vocalist Derek Sanders’s favorite by them as well. To celebrate […]

Are you ready to relive summer, love, and heartbreak with Frank Ocean’s channel ORANGE? Frank Ocean’s 2012 album, channel ORANGE, captures the sickly sweet, tape-recorder nostalgia of summer so exquisitely that I’ve always wanted to do a track-by-track analysis. This album played a huge part in my summer, too. I had good days–beach days, nights […]

Let’s dive into “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper“, MF DOOM‘s album, track by track. Daniel Dumile, aka MF DOOM, remains one of the greatest figures of 90’s-2000’s hip hop. With his creative lyrics, dedication to small labels, and collaborations with producers such as Madlib, it’s no surprise his influence extends even to artists such as […]

For my blog debut, let’s dive into Lil Skies’ second official album, Unbothered.   Pennsylvania rapper Lil Skies dropped Unbothered on January 22, 2021 with 14 tracks, including 4 previously released singles. The vibrant album cover is reminiscent of a childhood bedroom from the early 2000’s (old TV & lava lamp) and the album itself […]

With her anticipated album release last week, Billie Eilish has been taking over the charts with her project When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? The young artist is redefining pop music and what it means to be an artist in the spotlight in general. Her album has been streamed over 118 million […]

Say goodbye to the old, trashy, garage-punk band that we all used to know (and love) as they attempt to implement a hodgepodge of sounds that aren’t in their usual repertoire.  FIDLAR, an acronym short for “F*** It Dog, Life’s A Risk,” originally formed in 2009 as a punk project. Over the years, the group […]

Chaz B. aka Toro y Moi set the bar for the rest of the artist in the industry on how to make complete album. He didn’t give us too much or too less but just the right amount. Outer peace is a follow up to his efforts last year Boo Boo, and kept his streak […]

The experimental trio’s newest project does not skip over the usual angry, paranoia filled subject matter except this time implements a twist of psychedelia that isn’t anything like what most fans expected. Death Grips’ discography is nothing short of chaos that we all love to examine and this album won’t be any different in that […]

mono. Album Cover RM’s mono.. Quite honestly, this is the perfect soundtrack for the fall season. If you’re into super chill music with introspective lyrics, then this is the album for you. 

In what was one of the most anticipated and quality-dense rap years that we’ve seen in the last decade, 2013 produced some of the most commercially successful and trendsetting rap albums that we’ve ever seen. Within just the first four months of the year, ASAP Rocky, Lil Wayne, and Kid Cudi all released highly-praised projects […]

If you managed to get through this summer without having “Boo’d Up” permanently engraved in your brain, you probably get your sustenance from vintage vinyl and avocado toast exclusively. “Boo’d Up” will capture you by your feelings and throw you out on the curb with that catchy melody to taunt you. Needless to say, by […]

Negro Swan is the fourth studio album by Dev Hynes under the moniker “Blood Orange.”  The production of Negro Swan is completely unique, yet it feels oddly familiar. After doing some digging, I found that Dev Hynes has actually done production for the likes of Solange and FKA Twigs. In true form of other Dev Hynes projects, […]

Musician, songwriter, and interdisciplinary artist Cody Critcheloe aka SSION just released O, his third studio album, his first release in seven years, and it’s fantastic. The album opens with a cover of Roy Orbison’s “Big As I Can Dream.” “I will build a dream for you…” Critcheloe sings in a misty-disco tone as if addressing […]

World-famous DJ, producer, and artist, ZHU, just dropped a hot new EP, the first part of his new project called RINGOS DESERT. The EP brings all the heat of the desert and some spooky-electronic dance vibes with a touch of R&B and trap inspiration and fusion as well. This project definitely shows some maturity and style […]

This year has seen so much incredible new music, but we often don’t appreciate or recognize our female artists, across all genres, as much as we should or as much as they deserve. As women are stepping up, taking the lead, and having their voices heard across politics, media and Hollywood, 2018 (but really every […]

  Between doing his own production and having extremely successful albums with little to no features, J. Cole‘s name basically speaks for itself at this point. After releasing the album art by Kamau Haroon or “Sixmau” for KOD, what would be his fifth studio album, earlier this week, he got everyone talking. While some people view the […]

Alison Wonderland, Australian DJ and producer, has been making waves in the electronic scene and traveling the world to play shows since her debut album, Run, was released in 2015. Her talent and authenticity was immediately recognized, as well as her importance as an up-and-coming female artist in the male-dominated electronic genre. Cultivating a loyal fan […]

It’s been a busy year for Texas native group, BROCKHAMPTON. In the span of one year they’ve managed to create a trilogy of albums, sell out a United States tour, film a feature film, have a show on Viceland, and much more. However, the group wasn’t quite finished and returned after months of silence to […]

Virtual Self, a new project taken on by Porter Robinson, is a “technic Utopia awakening” and neotrance EP. With aliases Pathselector and technic-Angel, this new artist persona and sound Porter is taking on is a darker, more glitchy and futuristic version of the sound he is so well-known for. Since his album Worlds was released in […]
