Taylor Swift Lover Album Review: Can getting it so right be getting it so wrong?
Taylor Swift’s much anticipated seventh studio album Lover, in three weeks became the best-selling album of the year in the U.S. Can you say this is much of a surprise considering the last record holder was Swift herself with the album Reputation? Lover has been breaking records in China and the UK and too many other places to list, but will it stand the test of time and outshine her previous works?

Carly Rae Jepsen - Dedicated Side B: Album Review
It's been a while since I last uploaded an album review, but I am back! (Clearly, I have nothing else to do...) From annoyingly catchy Call Me Maybe to infectious 80s pop banger I Really Like You, Carly has been developing her career as an indie-pop queen. Her third album "E∙M∙O∙T∙I∙O∙N" was one of the most pivotal releases not only for her career but also for the pop music industry that was in need for a cult classic album, of which fused modern pop sounds with a little spice of the 80s. The album was not only praised by her fans but also by a bunch of music critiques as one of the best pop albums in the 2010s, if not, in the century.

Lady Gaga Takes Us on a Journey to 'Chromatica'
“Take me to wonderland…” Lady Gaga has majestically returned with her new electropop album Chromatica, the first since her 2016 musical detour with the intensely personal Joanne, which was followed-up with her co-starring role opposite Bradley Cooper in the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born and its subsequent soundtrack. Now, Mother Monster has not only resurfaced, but she’s reclaimed her electronic dance-pop roots, which all Little Monsters have been awaiting with baited breath.

Lady Gaga's albums ranked
Lady Gaga has always been an interesting character. Whether she's cosplaying as Kermit the Frog or wearing raw meat, her fashion always finds a way to stand out from the crowd. She reminds me of a lot of the older artists like David Bowie and Madonna, who continually reinvented themselves. I like a lot of Lady Gaga's music because it's unpredictable. Yes, I always expect that there's going to be some cheap electronic beats somewhere, but she always finds a way to surprise me. She's a pop star in her own right, but she's crossover a lot of genres, and even a lot of it is subtle. The more I listen to it, the more influences I can hear from other styles.

Lay - ‘LIT’ Part 1 Review
Over the last few years, Zhang Yixing has undeniably became a worldwide star. During his time away from the South-Korean group EXO - an outfit which he is still a part of - the Chinese singer, model, dancer and producer has been building a small empire for himself, establishing a tangible brand whilst consistently putting out engaging content. From musical collaborations with the likes of Steve Aoki and Alan Walker to Calvin Klein sponsorships, Lay is everywhere. It’s now up to the world to take notice.

My Second Solo Music Album
The definition and meaning about my second solo music album ASHLEY #UNFILTERED is that it is showing my growth, me developing into my own person. The album is also about the world getting to know about me and who Ashley is with no filter!!!!!!!! I am coming out of this shell of feeling uncomfortable, negativity coming to me, bondage, captivity, having chains of depression, negative thoughts and comments, emotional breakdowns!!!!!!!!! And this album is going to show the world that I am no longer afraid or scared to be who I am as a person and as human being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My First Reaction To 'Chromatica'
Lady Gaga’s new album Chromatica has just released! I was so excited to listen to it and as soon as it came out, I sat myself down and listened to all sixteen songs. When ‘Notes on a Conditional Form’ by the 1975 came out I thought it would be fun to listen to all songs one after the other and write my first reaction down. You can read more about it if you click onto my profile, it will be there! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do it with Chromatica too! I just wrote down the first words that came to my head when listening to each song! I hope you enjoy and relate to the mess of my first reaction!

First Time Listening To The 1975's New Album- Notes On A Conditional Form
The new The 1975 album Notes On A Conditional Form just came out and I was surprised at how many songs were on it! A whole 22 songs to listen to and 80 minutes in total! I was in for a treat. I love The 1975 and even have a tattoo of their logo on my ribs (I did get it when I was eighteen but I still love them, no regrets). When the album was released, I was more that ecstatic and could not wait to listen to all the songs. I was planning to listen to them all anyway, so I thought it would be a fun idea to listen to each song for the first time one after another and document my first reactions to the songs. So, I bought the album, sat myself firmly on to my couch and away I went.
