Kendrick Lamar Damn Album Review
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Tracks: DNA,Yah, Element, Pride, Humble, Lust, XXX, Fear, Duckworth
Least Favourite Track: Love
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in April on the 14th April 2017 it is Kendrick Lamar fourth studio album called "Damn".
Kendrick Lamar is an American rapper from Compton who is classified as one of the greatest rappers in our generation. I am a fan of his music and always will be my favourite Kendrick album is "To Pimp A Butterfly" that album is such a masterpiece and will always be. Kendrick back after 2 years with that fantastic album. He is back with another masterpiece which is his fourth studio album. This album is just another fantastic album. Some tracks on the album is mainly more about America about whats going on it mainly has different topics in each track. Kendrick is one of those artists that has never disappoint me. All of his albums that he has made is just spot on. He is just a fantastic rapper and will be classified as the greatest rapper of all time in our generation. I was really excited for new Kendrick album I have been a fan since his second album was released "Good Kid Maad City" which included tracks such as "Swimming Pools Drank", "Poetic Justice" and many more. But the track that made me a fan was the track "Swimming Pools Drank" such a fantastic track that made me a fan of Kendrick. Discussing more about this album what did I think of it? Since hearing this album it was another masterpiece. This album is just so special Kendrick's bars are just too good in every track. This album has been getting really positive review which I am really glad because it really deserves to be getting positive reviews. It is officially my second favourite Kendrick album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "DNA", "Yah", "Element", "Pride", "Humble", "Lust", "XXX", "Fear", and "Duckworth". Starting off with "DNA" which kicks off the album it is the second track on the album while the track "Blood" is a short intro to "Damn". "DNA" is a catchy track with excellent production Kendrick bars is catchy and it is really good. "Yah" this track is another track with excellent production and decent lyrics. "Element" is one of the tracks which I often listen to on repeat this is just a banging track Kendrick's bars are just hard its just unstoppable. "Pride" has a decent production with decent backing vocals in the chorus really interesting track. "Humble" now this is the track where it kicked off this is a track which is often played on radios. This is the track that most fans started banging on 24/7 when it was released. Fantastic track which I also come back to listen to non stop. "Lust" which is another excellent track with fantastic bars once again by Kendrick. "XXX" was an interesting track it was featured collaboration with "U2" which I was quite shocked and found it very interesting to see "U2" being in a Kendrick album. The track is fantastic it is defintley one of the strongest tracks on the album. "Fear" is also another decent track with decent production Kendrick's is just too creative in every track . Lastly "Duckworth" is one of the tracks that just amazed me I liked how Kendrick made a reverse on the end of the track all the way to the beginning. My least favourite track was a track called "Love" it is a decent track but I prefer the others instead.
Overall this has been a fantastic album I really enjoyed it. I would defintley listen to it again it is a 9/10

Linkin Park One More Light Album Review
Linkin Park One More Light Album Review
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year in May it is the new album from Linkin park it is also their seventh studio album which is called "One More Light".
Linkin Park are an American rock band with a bit of hip hop. They are famously known for songs such as "In The End", "Numb" "Crawling", "Breaking The Habit" and many more. I have never really been a fan of them but I do like a couple of their songs. When I found out that Linkin Park were releasing a new album I wasent that excited but I was interested finding out what it had to offer to see if it is better than their last album which I personally think it is. When this album was released on the day most of the Linkin Park fans did not like this album as the band was going for a new sound. There were a lot of criticism towards this album. Most critics gave this album a negative score which I simply do not understand why though. I did not think this album was bad I liked a couple of tracks. But I can understand why most fans were disappointed. Some of the fans really wanted another rock album but I guess this is a Pop/EDM album. When I heard this album I just felt that some EDM tracks did not go well on this album with the production that should have been better. Linkin Park wanted to make an album in which young listeners listen to which is EDM music. They wanted more young listeners to listen to the album as it was a way to do well in the charts. I still cannot believe Chester passed away this year it was one of most shocking news to hear. Despite I was not a big fan of him and the band he was an inspirational to many other artists.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on this album which were "Good Goodbye", "Heavy", "Halfway Right", "One More Light", and "Sharp Edges". Starting off with "Good Goodbye" this track is featured with "Stormzy" and "Pusha T". This track is one of the tracks which is featured with collaboration. This is such a hard track I didn't expect manlike Stormzy to feature a track with Linkin Park manlike. "Heavy" was the first track to be released before the album was released. At first I didn't really like the track but then once hearing it more than once I started to like it the production is just spot on great collaboration with the female singer "Kiiara". "Halfway Right" was a track that was quite emotional it is such an upsetting track when Chester says "I Scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight". It is such an upsetting song, "One More Light" which is another emotional track and the strongest track on the album. The video to this track is really upsetting to watch which was with him and the fans during the tour. "Sharp Edges" this is a track where I often go back and listen to. I love this track it is my favourite out of all of them I love the production and the lyrics. I love how the guitar starts off this track. It is also the ending track of the album. My least favourite track was a track which I did not really like "Sorry For Now" the production on this track is so annoying it has bit of squeaky EDM.
Overall this was an okay album definitely better than the last one I would definitely listen to it again it is a 6/10

Niall Horan Flicker Album Review
Niall Horan Flicker Album Review
Rating: 2/10
Favourite Tracks: This Town, Paper Houses
Least Favourite Track: Slow Hands
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this month which is Niall Horan debut album "Flicker"
Niall is a Irish pop artist famously known as being a member of pop boy band "One Direction" which I find them really annoying. Since the end of 2015 One Direction have been going on hiatus which means all the members are now doing solo stuff. Out of all the members I was quite surprised with Harry Styles since he is now making a bit of indie rock music. Moving on to Niall this one goes for a flop attempt at making a folk album which personally is a flop to "Folk". This album is so damn boring for fuck sake who would want to listen to a bad attempt at "Folk Music". However there were tracks that I thought were decent but there were some that was just so fucking boring and annoying. In my opinion I do not see the point of little girls screaming for Niall since he has no talent. Even Harry Styles has more talent than him. Despite I am not fan of Harry either. Harry's album is so much better than this garbage. I will review Harry's album by the end of 2017 maybe around November but we will see how it goes. Since hearing this album I can say that it just not my type of music to listen to. I do like a bit of "Folk" music but I feel like this wasn't a strong folk album for 2017.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "This Town", and "Paper Houses". "This Town" is a decent track it is his debut track which was released last year. This was a clue to say that he was going to release the album with this track in it. Moving on to "Paper Houses" this one was an interesting folk track it is probably his best folk track on the album. The production is decent but slightly needs to improve. My least favourite track was a track called "Slow Hands" this track was just not good at all it is one of the tracks that done well in the charts from around the world. It has one of the most annoying productions that I have ever heard.
Overall this was not good at all I would not listen to it again it is a 2/10

Dua Lipa Self-Titled Album Review
Dua Lipa Self-Titled Album Review
Rating: 6/10
Favourite Tracks: Losing Light, Be The One, Blow Your Mind (Mwah), No Goodbyes
Least Favourite Track: New Rules
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in June on the 2nd June 2017. It is Dua Lipa debut album which is Self-Titled.
Dua Lipa is a British Albanian Pop artist who has been an interesting artist since last year when she started releasing songs such as "Be The One", "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)" and many more. She has just been popping up there doing well in the charts. I am not a big fan of her music but I do like a couple of songs. I really love the song "Be The One" it is simply the strongest track in the album. I first heard this song last year back when I was in Portugal. It was playing on a Portuguese radio and I just felt in love instantly with this song. Discussing more about this album what did I think of it? This album wasn't that bad at all I did not expect the album to do well. Despite I am not a fan of Dua but still she has proven that she can make a decent pop album. On this album it only one collaboration which I felt she should have collaborated with more artists on her album. The only artist she collaborated with was an artist called Miguel in the track "Losing Light". I personally think this album is still a decent album even though I did not expect it to do very well in the charts.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Losing Light", "Be The One", "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)", "No Goodbyes". Starting off with "Losing Light" This is a really interesting track if i am being honest. The production just amazed me it sounded like it has a bit of "Funk" influenced on this track. The collaboration was decent. "Be The One" now this is the track that I really love the most out of all the tracks. Like I said this is the strongest track on this album. The production and the vocals are just simply amazing. "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)" this track is another interesting and another of one of the strongest tracks on the album. I loved how she says "Mwah" it is cute. My last favourite track was a track called "No Goodbyes" I am not a big fan of the production but the vocals are good. My least favourite track was a track called "New Rules" now this is one of the tracks that is so annoying. Production is not that good it just so fucking annoying.
Overall it was an okay album I might listen to it again but not at this moment. Overall it is a 6/10.

21 Savage Issa Album Album Review
21 Savage Issa Album Album Review
Rating: 3/10
Favourite Tracks: Bank Account, Bad Business, Nothin New
Least Favourite Tracks: FaceTime
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in July 7th July 2017. It is 21 Savage debut album called "Issa Album"
21 Savage is an American rapper from Atlanta Georgia. who has been making music since the last two years with Mixtapes such as "The Slaughter Tape" and "Slaughter King". He has also released EPs such as "Free Guwop" and "Savage Mode". Personally I have not listened to his Mixtapes and Eps I've only heard his debut album and personally I did not really like it. It is simple auto tuned mumbling trap in this album. I do not often listen to "Trap" that much but now days mumbling has just now become thing in "Trap". Since hearing this album I just dont see the point of it if im being honest. I just dont like when Trap rappers mumble all the fucking time like wtf. In this album it had some decent tracks and some tracks that were just fucking annoying and with some terrible production. I havent really got much to say about this album this will be a short review
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Bank Account", "Bad Business", and "Nothin New". Starting with "Bank Account". Plain and simple it is one of the main tracks on the album. One of the tracks that is often played a lot by the fans. It is decent track quite catchy too. Moving on to "Bad Business". Decent track with excellent production the bars are hard as fuck. This is one of the tracks in which he does not really mumble a lot. It is also one of the tracks in which it does not have the same old trap production over and over again but still really good track. My last favourite track is "Nothin New" this track has an interesting piano melody to it. It kind sounds like a calm trap song really decent. My least favourite track which I really did not like was "FaceTime" this track has the most shittest production which is produced by Dj Mustard which you may not know I am not a fan of Dj Mustard production. However this is also one of the tracks which he mumbles.
Overall this was a quick review since I havent got much to say about this album. I did not really enjoy this album. I wouldn't listen to it again I would only listen to those three tracks which I mentioned. It is a 3/10

Ed Sheeran X Album Review
Ed Sheeran X Album Review
Rating: 10/10
Favourite Tracks: Sing, Photograph, Bloodstream, Tenerife Sea, Thinking Out Loud, Afire Love
Least Favourite Tracks: N/A
In this review I will be reviewing an old album which was released back in 2014. To complete Ed's discography it is Ed's sophomore album (second album) called "X".
As Ive reviewed Ed's other albums such as "+", and "Divide". The time has finally come to complete his discography. I left this album last to review as it is one of his best albums. "Divide" will definitely not be better than this masterpiece. I am not saying "Divide" is a bad album all im saying is that I dont agree when some fans think that "Divide" is better than "X". "Divide will always be another good album but when it comes to"X" it will always be a masterpiece. Since hearing "X" over the last few years this album has always been on repeat for me I often listen to it sometimes whenever im feeling the Ed Sheeran vibe. Discussing more about this album this album is just so good it gets you on a good mood with fantastic tracks such as "Thinking Out Loud", "Photograph", and "Bloodstream". Back in the day when I used to listen to Capital FM 95.8 I remember the first time when they played "Thinking Out Loud". At first I was like holy fuck is this Ed Sheeran no way I was just shocked at the time when he made this fantastic pop ballad. From that track we all knew that Ed has done it he has now become mainstream. I really did not expect Ed to make a really good pop ballad song it seriously just blew my mind when I heard this. Majority of this album has a mixture of love ballad songs its so different and unique and better than "+".
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which are "Sing", "Photograph", "Bloodstream", "Tenerife Sea", "Thinking Out Loud", and "Afire Love". Starting off with "Sing" this was an interesting track as it is featured Pharell Williams which he only says sing and louder in the track. Pharell producing this amazing track once again proves that he is not a terrible producer. In my opinion Pharell is one of the greatest producers in our generation he has produced tracks with other fantastic artists. Yet again shows how mastermind he is. I really enjoyed Ed's lyrics in this track it has always been a catchy track on the album. "Photograph" now we move on to a quite emotional track which brang me a tear to my eye. This track is definitely one of the strongest in the album it is just so powerful and its a shame we do not hear pop music like that in 2017. Such a calmful track. "Bloodstream" this track is another good one despite I prefer the remix of "Bloodstream" by Rudimental it is still a decent track. The remix is fucking amazing even though I am not a big fan of Rudimental. "Tenerife Sea" this track is just an acoustic pop folk track still a decent track. "Thinking Out Loud" now this is what's called a pop ballad track. This track is just simply amazing it reminds me of one of those 80s ballads from high school prom. I really love how this track stands out well than the others. "Afire Love" which is my last favourite track. It is also the finale track of the album this track was really interesting the production sounded just spot on. The production just simply amazed me. I did not find any Ed's tracks terrible so for me there were no least favourite tracks.
Overall I really enjoyed this album it was really good. I would defintley listen to it again non stop. It is a 10/10.
Since I finally completed Ed's discography you may want to read his other albums which I reviewed

Lana Del Rey Lust For Life Album Review
Lana Del Rey Lust For Life Album Review
Rating: 8/10
Favourite Tracks: 13 Beaches, In My Feelings, Beautiful People Beautiful Problems, Tomorrow Never Came, Heroin, Get Free
Least Favourite Tracks: Summer Bummer
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in July. It is Lana Del Rey new album called "Lust For Life"
Lana Del Rey is an american indie pop singer from New York. It has been two years since the last album was released from her "Honeymoon" which was decent album. After two year break Lana is back with her fifth studio album "Lust For Life". Which has been getting a mixture of positive and negative reviews. It may be different to albums such as "Honeymoon", "Born To Die" and many more. But this album is really good. It is great to see Lana is back after a two year break she is back with an interesting piece of album despite I have never really listen to Lana that much but I just felt real shocked on how good this album is. I first discovered Lana from her second album "Born To Die". Which personally is one of her best albums. From that album I loved the tracks such as "Blue Jeans", "Video Games", "Carmen" and "Summertime Sadness". It is such a fantastic album. Lana is one of those artists that surely do not disappoint their fans with a disappointing album. There's always something special about Lana she is just so damn talented. Since hearing this album my thoughts to this album is just pretty obvious that it is just fucking fantastic. However there was one song which I really thought that it did not go well on this perfect album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "13 Beaches", "In My Feelings", "Beautiful People Beautiful Problems", "Tomorrow Never Came", "Heroin", and "Get Free". Starting with "13 Beaches". Such a peaceful track. The vocals really do blend in well with the production of this track. Production is really good. "In My Feelings" I love how the track starts the production is decent with interesting vocals on this track. "Beautiful People Beautiful Problems". This is a beautiful track with fantastic collaboration featuring Stevie Nicks from "Fleetwood Mac"who I am a fan of. This track is just superb two fantastic female artists making a song together. Really fantastic collaboration. "Tomorrow Never Came". Another track with really good collaboration and it is my overall favourite on this album. Fantastic collaboration with Sean Lennon who is the son of John Lennon who was a fantastic musician and is truly missed. The collaboration on this track is so fantastic his father would have been so proud with this collaboration. "Heroin" a decent track haven't got much to say about this all I can say it is a decent track. My last favourite track is a track called "Get Free" Fantastic finale track to end the album I really enjoyed this one. Moving to my least favourite track was a track that I thought did not go well on the album "Summer Bummer". What was the fucking point of putting trap in this album it just doesn't go well with the album.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this album. I would defintley listen to it again. It is a 8/10

In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in July. It is Lana Del Rey new album called "Lust For Life"
Lana Del Rey is an american indie pop singer from New York. It has been two years since the last album was released from her "Honeymoon" which was decent album. After two year break Lana is back with her fifth studio album "Lust For Life". Which has been getting a mixture of positive and negative reviews. It may be different to albums such as "Honeymoon", "Born To Die" and many more. But this album is really good. It is great to see Lana is back after a two year break she is back with an interesting piece of album despite I have never really listen to Lana that much but I just felt real shocked on how good this album is. I first discovered Lana from her second album "Born To Die". Which personally is one of her best albums. From that album I loved the tracks such as "Blue Jeans", "Video Games", "Carmen" and "Summertime Sadness". It is such a fantastic album. Lana is one of those artists that surely do not disappoint their fans with a disappointing album. There's always something special about Lana she is just so damn talented. Since hearing this album my thoughts to this album is just pretty obvious that it is just fucking fantastic. However there was one song which I really thought that it did not go well on this perfect album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "13 Beaches", "In My Feelings", "Beautiful People Beautiful Problems", "Tomorrow Never Came", "Heroin", and "Get Free". Starting with "13 Beaches".

Michael Jackson Off The Wall Album Review
Michael Jackson Off The Wall Album Review
Rating: 10/10
Favourite Tracks: Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, Rock With You, Working Day And Night, Off The Wall, Girlfriend
Least Favourite Tracks: N/A
In this review I will be reviewing an old album released in 1979 it is Michael Jackson fifth studio album called "Off The Wall" (My favourite Michael Jackson album by the way).
Michael Jackson was one of the greatest artists in the world who inspires so many fans from around the world. He has released albums such as "Thriller", "Bad", "Dangerous" and many more. This is Michael's fifth studio album and his first album with Epic records. This album is my favourite from the King of Pop. The reason why is because this album was still in the era of "Disco" and "Funk" since it was released in the 70s. I feel like this album did not get enough credit as it deserved. I personally think this is one of Michael's underrated album. This album deserves to have more attention just like "Thriller" and "Bad". On "Off The Wall" im just feeling the disco vibe. It feels like I went back in time to a disco club jamming to this album whilst it is being played. I have heard this album loads of times and I can say that this album would be in my top 100 all time favourite albums. It is just a fantastic 70s album. Since hearing this album it just made me want to dance to the whole tracks of this masterpiece. This album deserves better it deserves to be heard by many people. This was an album to show the listeners at the time who he really was. This was the beginning of Michael when he wat "Epic" Records.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough", "Rock With You", "Working Day And Night", "Off The Wall", and "Girlfriend". Starting off with "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough". This is one of the tracks in which the fans know by hearing on the radio. This is the start of the disco vibe. This is one of the strongest tracks on the album. Its so freaking good. "Rock With You" my number one favourite out of all the track on this album. This is a groovy track the production is freaking amazing. I often listen to this non stop. Moving on to "Working Day And Night". This track is a track that I feel like I am in a Disco 70s club dancing to this non stop. Another track which is freaking good. "Off The Wall" which is also the name of the album as well this track I just felt so surprised on how good the production is. I love the chorus part in this track. Its really good. Lastly my last favourite track is a track called "Girlfriend". Another track which I was surprised with how good the production sounds like. Such a good track with interesting lyrics as well. I have no least favourite tracks since all of the tracks were really good.
Overall this album is a masterpiece I would defintley listen to it again. It is a 10/10

Ed Sheeran Divide Album Review
Ed Sheeran Divide Album Review
Rating: 8/10
Favourite Tracks: Castle On The Hill, Perfect, Galway Girl, What Do I Know
Least Favourite Tracks: N/A
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released March 3rd 2017 (on my birthday) which is Ed's third studio album "Divide".
Ed Sheeran is a British pop artist who has been making great music over the last few years. He has released three studio albums such as "+", "X", and his new one Divide. Ed's back after a 3 year break he is back with an interesting album which is another album that has done well in the market sales. The first two tracks on this album was released in January "Shape Of You". and "Castle On The Hill". This is where the repetitive track for "Shape Of You" began. When I heard these two tracks in January I just felt really pleased to see that he is back. I really love the track "Castle On The Hill". Its like I am driving on a road trip whilst listening to it. "Shape Of You is an alright track but I just dont like when its repetitive. My thoughts on this album was that I found the album really good despite "X". will always be my favourite album from Ed's. I found this album really different to the others. "X" was just more of a pop romantic songs. Whereas Divide has a mixture of songs with different meanings. Ed is one of those artists that is actually trying to save the Pop industry. Without Ed the Pop industry will be shitter and shitter. I have been a fan of Ed's music since the release of his debut album which had elements of folk and pop. Which in my opinion it should have been nominated for the mercury prize instead. I felt so shocked that "Divide" was nominated for a mercury as nobody expected for it to be nominated.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Castle On The Hill", "Perfect", "Galway Girl", and "What Do I Know". Starting off with the track "Castle On The Hill". As I was saying it feels like I am going on a road trip whilst listening to it. This track is really good. Definitely one of the strongest tracks on this album. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "Perfect". This track is simply outstanding. It sounds peaceful and quite emotional as well another strong track on this album. Moving on to "Galway Girl". This track just amazed me. This contains mixtures of Pop ,Irish folk, and Hip hop. The production of the track is amazing since it has elements of "Irish folk". I love the way how ed is rapping to an Irish folk production it is just woow. Lastly my last favourite track which is my favourite out of all of the tracks on this album which I personally think it is underrated "What Do I Know". I freaking love this track so much. I was so disappointed that Ed did not perform this in "Glastonbury". I really dont know why it is a fun track to sing to. I really love this track. There is no least favourite track on this album
Overall This is a good album I would defintley listen to it again. I will also review "X" around the end of october. Overall it is a 8/10

Liam Gallagher As You Were Album Review
Liam Gallagher As You Were Album Review
Rating: 6/10
Favourite Tracks: Wall Of Glass, Paper Crown, I Get By, Chinatown
Least Favourite Tracks: For What It's Worth
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released days ago which is Liam Gallagher debut album called "As You Were".
Liam Gallagher is a British rock artist who has been in the music scene since the 90s. When he was in "Oasis" with his brother Noel. I have never really been a fan of Oasis and Liam. They are not the type of music that I listen to quite often. Discussing more about Liam he was also in another band few years ago called "Beady Eye". Which that band flopped and never was successful. So Liam decided to go solo instead just like his brother. Which both brothers went different genres on different albums. For example Noel's second album back in 2015 "Chasing Yesterday". Is an album that has more of psychedelic rock. Where as Liam Gallagher debut album "As You Were". Just has a normal rock vibe. However Liam's album has bit of Oasis britpop into it as well in some certain tracks. Its very interesting seeing two brother going up against each other releasing albums. Noel's third album will be released in November which I saw the trailer for it and it sounds alright. Moving on to Liam's album what did I think of it? I thought this album was alright actually I did not expect this album to do really well. I just felt so shocked on how some tracks were just good with a calmful rock vibe. I really did not find this album bad I just feel like this album was a way to show that Liam is back with the same rock sound when he was in the band.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on this album which were "Wall Of Glass", "Paper Crown", "I Get By", and "Chinatown". Starting of with "Wall Of Glass". Such a fantastic opener for the album, I like the production on this track. When I first heard this track I didnt like it but then when I heard it loads of times I began to enjoy it very good track. My second favourite track which is "Paper Crown". This track is calmful rock track which sounds bit like 70s rock. It was a very interesting track. "I Get By". This track is just a normal rock track with decent production I might not have enjoyed it a lot like "Wall Of Glass", "Paper Crown", but it is still a decent track. Lastly my last favourite track was "Chinatown". This is a track which had an interesting genre to it "Folk Rock". Very unexpected to have folk rock track on a normal rock album. It just sounds really good. My least favourite track was a track called "For What it's Worth". This track did not surprise me at all if im being honest just wasent fan of this track.
Overall this is an okay album which just shocked me as I thought this wouldn't be good but it was alright. Overall it is a 6/10

Demi Lovato Tell Me You Love Me Album Review
Demi Lovato Tell Me You Love Me Album Review
Rating: 3/10
Favourite Tracks: Sexy Dirty Love, Only Forever, Hitchhiker
Least Favourite Tracks: Daddy Issues
On this review I will be reviewing the new Demi Lovato album which was released this year on September 29th 2017 which is called "Tell Me You Love Me".
Demi Lovato is an American female pop singer. Who is back with her sixth studio album. She has released other albums such as "Confident", "Demi", "Unbroken", and many more. I have never really been a fan of Demi. I've never really been interested about her but they have been a couple of tracks which she has released in her previous albums such as "Neon Lights" "Heart Attack", "Cool For The Summer". Which are the three tracks that I really enjoyed listening over her last previous albums. Moving on to this album it was just so different. Demi wanted to try something different on this album. It is just so different couple of tracks on this album is not like a summer EDM hit whereas on this album its bit of R&B influence with bit of pop. When I heard this album I thought to myself what the fuck is going on with the Pop industry. Pop music is just getting worser and worser if im being honest. This album did not surprise me at all its just not a better album like the last one "Confident" which I thought was a decent album. Some of the tracks on this album were okay and I enjoyed couple of them. The rest was just not good probably due to production which in my opinion was just not the best production in some certain tracks. In my opinion this is the worst Demi Lovato Album that she made over her last 5 projects.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Sexy Love", "Only Forever", and "Hitchhiker". Starting off with the track "Sexy Love". The production is fucking fantastic it just blew me away. This should have been released as a single for when the album was about to be released. It is so much better than that pointless song "Sorry Not Sorry". Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "Only Forever". This track was a decent track. The vocals were good and interesting but the production could have been a bit better. Lastly my last favourite track was a track called "Hitchhiker". The production is slightly bit better still needs to improve on whoever produced this. This is one of Demi strongest tracks on this album. Defintley good way to end the album since some of the other tracks are a mess. Moving on to my least favourite track was a track called "Daddy Issues". It is so fucking terrible. Horrible Production with some weird vocals.
Overall I did not enjoy this album but I only liked 3 tracks. I would not listen to this album again. It is a 3/10

67 The Glorious Twelfth Mixtape Review
Rating: 7/10
Favourite Tracks: #Grubby, Glorious Twelfth, Money Spree
Least Favourite Tracks: Before Tour
On this review I will be reviewing a mixtape which I do not review mixtapes. But just for today I decided to review it which I often do not review mixtapes. It is 67 new mixtape which was released this year in 2017 called "The Glorious Twelfth"
67 are a British drill group from Brixton which consists of members which are LD, Asap, Dimzy, Monkey, and Liquez. I have been a fan of the group since they have started to upload music on Sound cloud and YouTube. 67 have released good tracks such as "Lets Lurk", "Take It There", "This Side" and many more. 67 has been an interesting group over the last few years. They have been trending over the last few years with some banging tracks. The fan base have increased a lot since they have started releasing music. Let's discuss more on what I thought of this Mixtape. I thought this was an interesting Mixtape. Even though I do not normally review Mix tapes this will be the first time that I review a Mixtape on the blog. I found this Mixtape really interesting it has some really good production in some good tracks which I enjoyed. I personally feel that this Mixtape was not bad it is a decent Mixtape I feel that they could have been more than 11 tracks since this is a fun Mixtape to listen to. The tracks there were no problem with it but there was one track I just didn't enjoy as I enjoyed the others but it is still a decent track.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on this Mixtape which were "#Grubby", "Glorious Twelfth", and "Money Spree". Starting off with the track "#Grubby" I enjoyed this track. This is probably one of the strongest tracks on this mixtape. The production is decent they have strong bars on this track such a great track. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track which is the name of the mixtape called "Glorious Twelfth". This track was another decent track I enjoyed the production was alright it could have been better. The production of the track sounds like one of the tracks that ive heard from Charlie Sloth album "The Plug". But it is still a good track. Lastly my last favourite track was a track called "Money Spree". Which is the last track of the mixtape. I feel like this should have not been in the last track I feel like this should have been the penultimate. However it is still a great track I enjoyed it. Moving on to my least favourite track was a track called "Before Tour" which was a track that I did not enjoy as the other ones but it is not a bad track it is still a good track I just did not enjoy it a lot.
Overall this is a really good mixtape. I would listen to it again. I am looking forward to their future projects. Overall it is a 7/10.

On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released on the 29th September 2017 it is Benjamin Clementine second studio album which is called "I Tell A Fly".
Benjamin Clementine is a British Avant-garde artist and a poet who I have enjoyed listening to since his mercury winning album in 2015 "At Least For Now". Which is a fantastic debut album. With great tracks such as "Gone", "Adios", "Condolence", "Winston Churchill's Boy" and many more great tracks to represent a fantastic album. 2 years later Benjamin releases his second album which I thought to myself Benjamin is getting better and better. He is one of the artists that never disappoints their fans. Benjamin is an interesting artist his music is so interesting. Discussing more about this album I just found it very interesting because the production is different to his first album. The music is interesting it has really good tracks on this album. Tracks such as "Phantom Of Aleppoville", and "Jupiter" are to be two of the strongest tracks on this album. However there is other tracks which are strong tracks on this album as well. The first track I heard which was released in a music video which I saw in a video before the album was going to be released was a track called "Phantom Of Aleppoville". Which was a mind blowing track I was amazed on how great the track is I loved the Piano part on the track I love how this tracks builds up. Discussing more about this album all I can say is Benjamin's new album is just fantastic it could defintley be in my "Top 20 Best Albums of 2017 which I will do a blog about my top 20 best albums of 2017 in December. This album should definitely be on the list. This album was a way for Benjamin to try something new and it was also to show that he is back. I am really glad that Benjamin is back I really enjoyed this album a lot but I just cannot pick which one is better all of his two albums are great.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on this album which were "Farewell Sonata", "God Save The Jungle", "Phantom Of Aleppoville", "Jupiter", "One Awkward Fish", and "By The Ports Of Europe". Starting off with the track "Farewell Sonata". Which is the opening track to the album. I found this really good I love the build up when Benjamin sings"Birds that cannot fly and fishes that cannot swim and black and white and man and what anomaly..." The build up to when Benjamin sings is really good the piano melody starts to become higher and higher it is just an amazing track to start off the album. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "God Save The Jungle". which was another good track. The production is really good and it is an interesting track. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "Phantom Of Aleppoville". This track was so different than the others it sounded a bit like opera singing in the middle of the track I loved how the build up was kind of suspense on what the track is going to happen next. Moving to the next track which was a track called "Jupiter". This track has some really interesting lyrics as well for example "Wishing Americana happy wishing Americana free". Which is interesting lyrics as well it is a calmful track. "One Awkward Fish". Was another one of my favourite tracks. This track sounded a bit like Drum n bass the production on is really good its sounds a mixture of drum n bass to normal piano instrumental music. Lastly my last favourite track which is the track that I enjoyed a lot "By The Ports Of Europe". This Track is so good I cannot stop singing to this. It has such a calmful tone to it. I literally cannot stop singing to this its defintley the best track on this album. My least favourite track was a track called "Better Sorry Than A Safe". It is still a good track but I just did not enjoy it a lot as the other ones.
Overall this album has been fantastic it is great to see Benjamin back. I would defintley listen to this album again. Overall it is a 9/10

Little Mix Glory Days Album Review
Little Mix Glory Days Album Review
Rating: 4/10
Favourite Tracks: Oops, Power, Nobody Like You
Least Favourite Tracks: No More Sad Songs
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released last year in 2016 on the 18th November 2016. Which is Little Mix fourth studio album called "Glory Days".
Little Mix are a girl pop group who have been dominating the charts over the last 6 years. I have never really been a fan of the group but they are a couple of songs that I like from the group but I just dont really listen to them that much. Little Mix are one of the most popular girl groups in the pop industry along with Fifth Harmony. Most of their fans tend to argue a bit since on who is the better girl group. Discussing more about this album what did I think of it? I Thought that this album did not surprise me it was just not for me. The only thing that I was surprised was one of the tracks called "Power" featuring Stormzy. I felt so surprised due to how great this track and how Stormzy was involved with Little Mix which I really was not expecting. Since hearing this album I feel like this album is just getting more attention than any other album. However in some certain tracks they smash it with their vocals with a decent production. But there is some tracks with not a good production on the tracks. I do not hate Little Mix but I think they are overrated I just feel like that they are just repetitive being played all the time. This album for me did not do nothing much it did not amaze me.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on this album which were "Oops", "Power", and "Nobody Like You". Starting off with a track called "Oops" which is featured with Charlie Puth who is a fantastic talent singer. In this track Charlie does not disappoint as his production is just really good. The vocals go really well together it is a really good collaboration on this track. My second favourite track on the album is an amazing featuring Stormzy which is called "Power". This track is just freaking amazing. I personally prefer with collaboration instead of the original version. Stormzy is at it again with hard lyrical bars. It just shows how Stormzy Carrer is increasing how he is going far how he will be the future king of Grime. Lastly my last favourite track was a track called "Nobody Like You". Which was a decent track it is quite emotional as well due to the production of the track. It is probably their strongest track on this album. My least favourite track on the album which is a track which is also played on commercial radio. "No More Sad Songs". I really did not like Machine Gun Kelly collaboration on this track. I just dont think that the track worked well with his rap lyrics on to this track.
Overall this album did not surprise me it was just another Little Mix album with Pop tracks on it. I would probably not listen to it again but I will listen to the tracks that I liked. It is a 4/10

The War On Drugs A Deeper Understanding Album Review
The War On Drugs A Deeper Understanding Album Review
Rating: 6/10
Favourite Tracks: Holding On, Knocked Down, In Chains, You Don't Have To Go
Least Favourite Tracks: Thinking Of A Place
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year on the 25th August 2017. Which is The War On Drugs fourth studio album called "A Deeper Understanding"
The War On Drugs are an Indie rock band from Philadelphia who has been in the music scene since 2005 but they have released their first album in 2008. The band has released 4 albums which are "Wagonwheel Blue", "Slave Ambient", "Lost In The Dream", which is my favourite album from them. and lastly the new one which was released this year "A Deeper Understanding". I have never really been a big fan of them but I do like a couple of tracks and albums from them. I think they are a fantastic band, Adam Granduciel vocals is really interesting as he sounds a bit like Bob Dylan. It is really fascinating as all of the albums that the band has released Adam definitely sounds a bit like Bob Dylan. Discussing more about the band new album when I heard this album I thought to myself this is an alright album it might not be better than "Lost In The Dream" but it is still a good album. The album has some fantastic tracks and some decent ones. The vocals on some tracks are good and some which is still good but with an alright production. Their were a couple of tracks that I thought was just too long and I feel like that they should have at least shorten bit of the track.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Holding On", "Knocked Down", "In Chains", and "You Dont Have To Go". Starting of with a track called "Holding On". Which is a fantastic track it sounds a bit of 90s rock on what was going on at the time. But overall this is a fantastic track the vocals definitely go well with the production. Another one of my favourite tracks was a track called "Knocked Down". Which in my opinion was a calmful piano melody track, I love how it has a bit of 70s rock influenced on this track. My other favourite track was a track called "In Chains". Which in this track was quite interesting production it sounds bit like synth pop I really enjoyed this track more than the others. Lastly my last favourite track was a track called "You Dont Have To Go". Which was a good ending track for the album great production and vocals once again. Moving on to my least favourite track was a track called "Thinking Of A Place". It is still a good track but I just did not enjoy it that much.
Overall I thought this album was okay despite it is not better than "Lost In The Dream". I would listen to it again. Overall it is a 6/10
