album reviews
Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.
Parisalexa's "2 Real" is an undeniably great album
The singer lets loose on "4 Playin'" when she says, "See in the past I've had to dip I get fed up triggered Can I just put the tip in head ass nigga. Oh you don't really like to kiss or give head? Well tell me what the fuck I look like in your bed (I gotta go)." This song continues a tradition of bold and sexually confident women in popular music like Adina Howard who helped to spark a change in lyrical content during the mid-1990s with hits like "Freak Like Me" and "T-Shirt & Panties."

Day6 - ‘The Book of Us: The Demon’ EP Review
Day6 have been one of the most consistent bands of the last few years.

My Favourite Album From Each Year (2000-2009)
I've been having a lot of fun writing these articles about my favourite albums from the decades. I started with the 80s and made my way up, but after this, I'm going to go back and do the 70s and 80s as well. At first I thought I would be unable to do the 70s and 60s because they were well before my time, but I remembered that Queen is my favourite band from the 70s era so I think I can do it. For now, I will continue through the new millennium and go back and discover some amazing albums.

My Favourite Album From Each Year (2010-2019)
A lot of people say that music isn't as good as it used to be. It may be true. A lot of my favourite albums are from earlier decades, but that doesn't mean that this millennium hasn't got any decent music. There's been loads of great music still coming out, there are just different ways of finding it. I've found a lot of my favourite music through Youtube, Spotify and other online sites. Again, you can tell some of my favourite bands on this list. Depeche Mode has had a huge presence in my favourite albums from each decade. I've been asked what my favourite albums from the 60s and 70s are. My friend helped me with some 70s album but think I will need to go back and listen to some more albums from the 60s before I can make one with the 60s but I think it will be fun because I will get to discover some more great stuff.

Finding Good Music Under The Radar - Part Three
Social distancing, lockdown quarantine, all are words we knew were there, just didn’t have much chance to experience them directly. Now we do. But another term remains the same - new music that should not be missed. It seems that now, in these hard times is the additional chance to experience it. After all, we have more time to experience it and, of course, those piles of music we are not so familiar with have been getting bigger and bigger. Time to try and slim them down and pick some more good music that otherwise might go completely unnoticed.

Cabin Dance Fever
Q-Tine Playlist: Cabin Dance Fever Remember when you were a kid and you did something you had NOOO business doing? You know, when it would result in an ass-whooping or punishment or BOTH. Depends on the crime committed, right? Four walls now a have an extraordinary and deeper meaning these days. “I’m staying in tonight,” feels like I’m cursing at myself now. But there’s this beautiful thing called music. Music has the power to capture every emotion or feeling with ease. So when your ass has become a permanent fixture between your couch cushions from watching every tv show and film created, its time to take a mental and physical vacation. One of the perfect ways for me to do that is to pull up my Apple Music to bring out the talented kid from London name Tom Misch.

Music is my source.
Music has always played an essential role in my life. Wherever I go or do, I still have my music with me, especially during this time where everyone must stay-at-home. I am one of the few who got lucky and has a job that falls under the essential category.
