"In an out of nowhere splash Mckinley Dixon raps about home, urban life, contesting memories of childhood, lost friends and living communities. More specifically, the whole album is a Toni Morrison reference. The title invokes the 'Beloved trilogy' of Morrison historical fiction novels Jazz, Belov..." [+] Reply

"Production is reminiscent of Daniel Lanois classics without the excesses (check out the guitar tones on "Alibi"). Great Americana soundscape with vulnerable, emotive lyrics, good story telling, and one of my favorite voices in music. There are some tragic themes here, but there is redemption. Hur..." [+] Reply
"Amazing album, there are bangers there are tears, there is hell of a lot of glam there are shivers and there is a ton of originality as well as some really fresh tributes to 80s music. The band mixes contemporary indie with some reaally good punk and a touch of pop and trap. (yeah that's a lot bu..." [+] Reply
"Seriously kicks ass not gonna lie. Very exciting return. Singles were great but man couple of those deep cuts are even better. Highly recommend playing it loud to fully experience the awesomeness of the sick AF killer beats. Oof! I'm being ridiculous because I'm excited plus it's just really good..." [+] Reply

"Seventeen Going Under represents a wind of change for male pop stars with guitars. The dregs of the 2010s capitalisation on them are on the way out, and none could even come within eyeshot of Fender’s genuine, essential writing. Heck, few things in music can right now: the pride with which he wea..." [+] Reply

"“Quaranta” takes Brown’s music to a more reflective place. Danny thinks about aging, his childhood, and mistakes with a sober glare. While not his most lyrically versatile work, the starkness of his words really hit. “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation” explores an interesting juxtaposition of Brown’s impo..." [+] Reply

"Stronger, tighter, and livelier than (Black Is). Still a little too long, but I prefer the edge on this one." Reply

"“Crash” sees Charli XCX move from hyper pop into more conventional styles. The sound is a combination of contemporary pop and 80’s revival. Overall, this is crafted very competently though lacking a special touch. The choruses exist in the realm of memorable enough to recall but not to be stuck i..." [+] Reply
