Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.
Dua Lipa Future Nostalgia was a club and dancing hopeful?
For anyone who knows my music preferences well, they know I like a little bit of everything, primary Hip-hop, RnB and Pop. But I dabble into other genres too because different styles of music activates triggers differently depending on what’s being listened to. This article won’t go over the physics of music theory nor how it affects the human‘s mood, however there’s a few songs that I’d decided to play over and over due to boredom and being stuck in quarentine. They say to treat your mental health with self care, which i have been doing, but I’d noticed how I also would be singing a few songs off of the Newly rising British Pop Star Dua Lipa with her acclaimed album Future Nostalgia.

Best of Last Year: Titanic Rising - Weyes Blood
Many artists seem to be incredibly invested in lyrical content nowadays, almost to the point where the musicality seems to falter because of that. Weyes Blood is a perfect example of someone who seems to hold musicality over lyrics, which, in the case of this album, is actually a good thing.

WINNER - ‘Remember’ Album Review
Since their debut in 2014, WINNER have been one of the most consistent outfits in K-Pop. Always managing to put their own spin on current trends and switch their style up when required, the foursome - Seungyoon, Seunghoon, Jinwoo and Mino - have more than earned their stars as artists capable of filling a place in the limelight that can often be fleeting in such a fiercely competitive industry.

Album Review: Pink Moon by Nick Drake
With the recent occurrence of the pink supermoon that happens every spring, I was reminded of one of my favorite albums of all time. That album is Pink Moon by Nick Drake. It's a short album, clocking in at just under thirty minutes, and if you listen to it, you will notice there are no instrumental overdubs, save for a short piano melody on the title track.
