Laura Marling Semper Femina Album Review
Rating: 7/10
Favourite Tracks: Soothing, Don't Pass Me By, Wild Once
Least Favourite Track: Always This Way
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in March on the 10th March 2017. It is Laura sixth studio album called "Semper Femina".
Laura Marling is a British folk singer from Hampshire. She has released albums such as "Alas I Cannot Swim" which is her debut album. Which was also nominated for a mercury. "I Speak Because I Can" which is her second album decent album not really my favourite. "A Creature I Don't Know" which is her third album another album I do not often listen to quite much. "Once I Was An Eagle" which is her fourth album and my favourite album from her. It is her best album it was also nominated for a mercury as well. "Short Movie" I didn't really enjoy "Short Movie" quite a lot as I enjoyed "Once I Was An Eagle" more. Now we are here with her sixth studio album it has been two years since she released "Short Movie". I really enjoyed listening to Laura Marling new album it's quite a calmful peaceful folk. Her voice is amazing on this album. I feel like I am driving on the motorway and listening to this beautiful album. Just want to congratulate Laura for being nominated for best folk album in the grammy's hopefully she can win. Despite I do not often listen to that much folk music this album is really good definitely better than her last album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Soothing", "Don't Pass Me By", and "Wild Once". Starting of with "Soothing" A great opener for the album. I enjoyed the guitar reefs with her smooth vocals. "Don't Pass Me By" I quite enjoyed this track. An interesting folk sound to it. "Wild Once" I enjoyed this track thought it was decent and a bit catchy. My least favourite track was a track called "Always This Way" it is a decent track but it's not the strongest in my opinion.
I enjoyed this album. I thought it was much better than her 2015 album "Short Movie". I would definitely listen to this album again. I would give this album a 7/10.

Wiley Godfather Album Review
Wiley Godfather Album Review
Rating: 8/10
Favourite Tracks: Speakerbox, Pattern Up Properly, Can't Go Wrong, Bang, Like It Or Not, Lucid, Laptop
Least Favourite Track: Bring Them All/Holy Grime
On this album I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in January on the 13th January 2017. It is Wiley's eleventh studio album called "Godfather".
Wiley is a British grime artist who has been in the game for a long time. He has been there since he started pirate radio back in the early 2000s. He has seen many talented grime artists rising to the top such as "Dizzee Rascal", "Tinchy Stryder", "Skepta", "JME", "Ghetts", and many more. Despite I am not really big fan of 'Wiley' I do like couple of tracks and albums as well. The albums that I like from Wiley which are "Treddin On Thin Ice which is his debut album with fantastic tracks on it. "Grime Wave" his fourth album which is a decent album. "See Clear Now" which is my personal favourite Wiley album it is his fifth album. I really liked how Mark Ronson produced this masterpiece. I also found his sixth album "Race Against Time" an okay album. Since 2013 he has been trying to make chart success with his ninth album "The Ascent" which I did not really enjoy this album. It was not the album that I expected from Wiley. Following up to 2014 his tenth album "Snakes & Ladders" once again an album that just didn't appeal to me. After a 3 year break Wiley is back with a better album which I enjoyed listening to. 10 months ago Wiley stated this would have been his final studio album. Since we are approaching the end of November Wiley stated that he will release "Godfather 2" around February 2018. I am really pleased that he is making one more album before he retires. I think his next album will be experimenting back to the old style of grime it would definitely be a good way to say goodbye. I will be upset to see Wiley retire but in my opinion he will always be the Godfather of grime no matter what. Since hearing Wiley's new album what did I think of it? I really enjoyed this album a lot definitely one of the best grime albums of 2017. I enjoyed some of the collaborations on some tracks. If your looking for some great grime to listen to I would definitely recommend to listen to this album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Speakerbox", "Pattern Up Properly", "Can't Go Wrong", "Bang", "Like It Or Not", "Lucid", and "Laptop". Starting of with "Speakerbox" its one of those hard grime tracks. This track is on fire it's so good. I really like Wiley's bars on this track. Production is just a simple grime original production. I liked how he mentioned "Dizzee Rascal" on the track as well even though Dizzee is better than Wiley. "Pattern Up Properly" decent track with some great collaboration from two artists who I have never heard of "Flowdan" and "Jamakabi". "Can't Go Wrong" I love the production it's so dope. I liked how Wiley rapped in his lyrics saying that "Skepta" is his brother. "Bang" my personal favourite on the album. Fantastic collaboration with "Ghetts" even though I am not a fan of "Ghetts". "Like It Or Not" a decent track not the strongest in my opinion but it's still an okay track. "Lucid" pretty good track love the production of electronic hip hop to it. "Laptop" I liked how they started this track with the apple computer opening sounds it's quite cool. Great track really enjoyed this one. My least favourite track was a track called "Bring Them All/Holy Grime". I didn't really enjoy this track the collaboration was not the best if im being honest.But the production is okay.
Overall I really enjoyed this album, I am looking forward to "Godfather 2". I would listen to this album again. I would give this album an 8/10.

Beck Colors Album Review
Beck Colors Album Review
Rating: 4/10
Favourite Tracks: Colors, Dreams
Least Favourite Track: Wow
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year last month on the 13th October 2017. It is Beck's thirteenth studio album called "Colors".
Beck is an American singer songwriter from California. He has different types of genres when it comes to making albums. "Art pop, Folk, Alternative Rock". Beck has released albums such as "Mellow Gold,Sea Change, Guero, and many more. I have never really been a big fan of Beck's music but if I had to pick a favourite album from him it would be 'Modern Guilt' due to the fact my favourite Beck song is in that album which is called "Gamma Ray". Beck is back after 3 years following up to his previous album "Morning Phase" which was definitely a great album. Which is a Folk album which I found really interesting for beck trying out folk. Moving on to his new album I just didn't understand who Beck was trying to appeal on his new album. This album just made no sense to me at all. We have a majority of fans who think this album is good whereas some think this is Beck's worst album. I on the other hand I am not a fan of Beck but this album is just not good at all. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? I thought this album was just a failed attempt of Beck dominating the charts with songs on this album. I really do not understand why some people may like this album. I can understand why Beck wanted to make this sort of music he probably wanted to appeal more to the young generation since he has had a long career during the 90s.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were only two tracks. "Colors", and "Dreams". Starting of with the track "Colors" which is a decent track I enjoyed the production on the track quite funky electronic to listen to. Great opener to the album. "Dreams" I first heard "Dreams" back in 2016 when I used to play Fifa 16 back in the day. The song "Dreams was featured in the Fifa 16 soundtrack. I enjoyed the song a lot it has always been on repeat for me. Quite liked the guitar reef from the starting of the track. My least favourite track was a track called "Wow" I found this track really annoying to listen to. I simply did not understand the meaning of the track "Wow". The chorus is so weird and annoying.
Overall I did not enjoy this album as I expected. I personally think "Morning Phase" is much better than "Colors". I would not listen to the whole album again but I would only listen to the tracks which were my favourite. I would give this album a 4/10

Top 10 Michael Jackson Songs
Top 10 Michael Jackson Songs
This is my top 10 favourite Michael Jackson songs.
10) Break Of Dawn
Album: Invincible
On Michael's final studio album this is a track which is just simply underrated. it's such a great R&B song. The production on this track is so good it just amazed me on how great the production sounds like on this album. I feel like this song deserved a music video. Such a great song definitely should listen to it.
9) Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
Album: Off The Wall
One of the most funky groovy track on the album 'Off The Wall'. I enjoyed this track a lot. It's one of Michael's popular tracks on the album along with 'Rock With You'. For those who may not know 'Off The Wall' is my favourite Michael Jackson album. I love the funky disco vibe to it on this great album.
8) Human Nature
Album: Thriller
Thriller is my second favourite Michael Jackson album. The track 'Human Nature' is such a great track with fantastic lyrics. Many artists have used the production for Human Nature as they felt inspired by listening to how great this track is. An artist who has used the production is Chris Brown with his song 'She Ain't You' which he made a great remake of the production but we all know that the production suits right with 'Human Nature'.
7) Beat It
Album: Thriller
Beat It is a great track. Definitely one of the best songs from the 80s era. I love the part when Michael goes 'Beat It just beat it'. The production on this is so good that it actually represents what 80s music had to offer at the time. Really catchy track to listen to it makes you want to dance to this fantastic track.
6) Black Or White
Album: Dangerous
This track is really good I really enjoyed the track a lot. I really enjoyed the rapping part 'Protection for gangs, clubs and nations causing grief in human relations'. It's one of the tracks that often gets a lot of radio play. I enjoyed the music video as well. I really enjoyed seeing McCauley Culkin in the video.
5) Dirty Diana
Album: Bad
This song simply just blew me away definitely one of my favourites from the 'Bad' album. I really liked how the crowd is cheering on this track. Which kind of sounds like it was from an actual live performance. Such an amazing track.
4) Rock With You
Album: Off The Wall
This song was a way to show goodbye to disco as the 80s were about to approach. In my opinion this is one of the best funk disco songs of all time. I love this song so much it's one of my favourites from my favourite MJ album.
3) Billie Jean
Album: Thriller
This is one of Michael's popular songs. I enjoyed this song a lot. Production is decent. Another one of Michael's songs that is often played on some certain radios.
2) The Girl Is Mine
Album: Thriller
This song is one of Michael's underrated tracks on this album. This song deserved a music video at least with Paul McCartney. I really love the part how both of them are battling for the girl.
1) Earth Song
Album: HIStory
Despite I do not really listen to this album a lot. Earth Song is one of my favourites. It is such a masterpiece. Such a powerful song about our planet Earth. Not that many artists make songs about our planet earth. Such a great song about what is happening in our planet.
This is my top 10 favourite Michael Jackson songs.

Michael Jackson Invincible Album Review
Michael Jackson Invincible Album Review
Rating: 8/10
Favourite Tracks: Break Of Dawn, You Rock My World, Butterflies, Cry
Least Favourite Track: 2000 Watts
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released back in 2001 on the 30th October 2001. It is Michael's sixth and final studio album called "Invincible".
We have finally reached his final album which was the album that most fans tend to agree and disagree. Most fans would say that this is Michael's best album of all time. I on the other hand disagree that this album is not one of Michael's best. We all know that "Thriller" will always be his best album. I can understand why some fans would say this is his best album. Since Michael has not released anything since 1995 which took him 6 years to release Invincible. On the recording for this album Michael started recording in 1997. Which took him 4 years to record. At the time Michael was going through a difficult time with all the media making false stories about him. It was just so difficult to release the album at the time when it happened. I think this album is underrated due to the fact there were some great songs that should have been recognised more just like "You Rock My World". The song "Break Of Dawn" such an underrated masterpiece which should have been recognised along with "You Rock My World". Since hearing this album what did I think of it? It's an okay album it might not be the best but it's still an okay album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Break Of Dawn", "You Rock My World", "Butterflies", "Cry". Starting of with "Break Of Dawn" this track is just too good the production on this track is amazing. Michael's vocals are just too good. Definitely an underrated track. "You Rock My World" is a fantastic track. It's my second favourite on the album while my first favourite is "Break Of Dawn". I enjoyed the music video for "You Rock My World" which is about Michael and Chris Tucker going in to the bar to chase after a beautiful young woman. "Butterflies" another underrated track. It sounds more like an R&B song. Quite enjoyed this track. "Cry" such a great track. The production is excellent it really sounds good with Michael's vocals. My least favourite track was a track called "2000 Watts"which I was not really fan of this track due to the production of it.
Overall this was an okay album I would listen to it again. Its a 7/10.

Bjork Utopia Album Review
Bjork Utopia Album Review
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Tracks: Blissing Me, The Gate, Utopia, Courtship, Sue Me, Tabula Rasa, Saint, Future Forever
Least Favourite Track: Claimstaker
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released yesterday on the 24th November 2017 from one of my favourite female artists. It is Bjork ninth studio album called "Utopia".
Bjork is an Icelandic singer who I am a big fan of. She is one of my favourite female aritsts who I really love. I first discovered Bjork from her 2001 album called "Vespertine" which is also her fourth studio album. I loved that album I really loved the tracks "Hidden Place", "It's Not Up To You" and many more. Such a great album from back in the day and it will always be my favourite Bjork album. Discussing more about Bjork she has released 9 albums which are called "Debut", "Post", "Homogenic", "Vespertine", "Medulla", "Volta", "Biophilia", "Vulnicura" and of course her new album "Utopia". Most fans would say Bjork best album is "Homogenic" which in my opinion is a fantastic album its definitely my third favourite album from Bjork. However I am part of the other fans that agrees that "Vespertine" is her best album. Bjork's discography is definitely one of the best for a female artist, All of her albums are really good. There was one album which was okay but was not big fan of it it was her sixth studio album "Volta". Most fans would agree that this is their least favourite album from Bjork. The reason why I love Bjork as an artist is because her vocals are just so beautiful it feels like I am in paradise whilst listening to her beautiful vocals. Since hearing Bjork's new album what did I think of it? It is so beautiful it made me quite emotional listening to this beautiful masterpiece. It's just beautiful music I wish more people like my age would listen more to Bjork she is so powerful I am really proud of the career she has had. I really loved how she a flute obsession by playing the flute on nearly all the tracks.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Blissing Me", "The Gate", "Utopia", "Courtship", "Sue Me", "Tabula Rasa", "Saint", "Future Forever". Starting of with "Blissing Me" such beautiful music with beautiful harp sounds to it. Moving on to "The Gate" I loved how Bjork was playing the flute and singing at the same time. The production is fantastic it definitely goes well with this track. "Utopia" is one of the strongest tracks on the album. Beautiful flute with beautiful vocals to it. "Courtship" My overall favourite on the album this track is fantastic the production just amazed me. Her vocals are just so beautiful. "Sue Me" a decent track on the album. "Tabula Rasa" a beautiful track I loved how the opening of the flute sounds so good. "Saint" it's another track which I was amazed. The production and vocals are just on point. "Future Forever" Such a great track to the end the album. My least favourite track was a track called "Claimstaker" which was an okay track I just was not a big fan of the production. I feel like the production did not go well with her vocals. Her vocals are good on this track.
Overall I can officially say that this is my second favourite Bjork album. I really enjoyed this album. I would definitely listen to it again. I would give this album a 9/10.

"Future Forever" Such a great track to the end the album. My least favourite track was a track called "Claimstaker" which was an okay track I just was not a big fan of the production. I feel like the production did not go well with her vocals. Her vocals are good on this track.
Overall I can officially say that this is my second favourite Bjork album. I really enjoyed this album. I would definitely listen to it again. I would give this album a 9/10.

Rating: 9/10
Favourite Tracks: He Reigns, Down & Pray, Life Story God's Glory, Vintage
Least Favourite Tracks: N/A
On this review I will be reviewing a mixtape which was released 2 years ago back in 2015 it is Feed'em debut mixtape called "You Can Know The Half".
Feed'em is a Christian music artist from London. Who has released a mix tape back in 2015. Which is his first music project to be released on the internet. Despite I do not listen to a lot of mixtape I can say that this is defintley one of the best mixtapes I have ever heard. I really loved all of the tracks on this mixtape the production on these tracks are really good. In 2017 he has released a music video called "God Gets All The Glory" which is a fantastic music video and a fantastic track. It's probably a hit for a next project by Feed'Em to come out maybe next year since it has been 2 years since his first mixtape was released. Since hearing this mixtape what did I think of it? I thought it was a really fantastic mixtape I am really glad that I have discovered this artist on Twitter.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "He Reigns", "Down & Pray", "Life Story God's Glory", "Vintage". Starting off with the track "He Reigns" which is featured collaboration with "Stephanie Fukula" really good track I loved the collaboration to it. I loved Feed'em rapping on this track. "Down & Pray" featuring "Selina Solomon" fantastic track I loved the production and the collab. Definitely my personal favourite track. "Life Story God's Glory" I loved the build up of this song. He is just smashing it such a great track. "Vintage" This track is hard defintley another good track. Majority of the production on all tracks are just too good. I do not have a least favourite track all of the tracks were really good.
Since hearing this Mixtape I can say that this is one of the best Mixtapes I've ever heard. I would defintley listen to it again. It's a 9/10

Matt Terry Trouble Album Review
Matt Terry Trouble Album Review
Rating: 7/10
Favourite Tracks: Sucker For You, The Thing About Love, Rewriting History, Original, Romeo y Juliet
Least Favourite Tracks: Got You
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released today 24th November 2017. It is Matt's debut album called "Trouble".
Matt Terry is a British pop artist from Bromley. Who won the "X Factor" last year against "Saara Aalto". Despite it was a fantastic x factor apart from 1 person that should have not been in the live shows ahem "Honey G" the overweight woman who thinks she can rap which turns out she has no talent. Moving on to Matt Terry he has been featured with a track with Enrique Iglesias and Sean Paul which personally was a decent version of the song even though I prefer the original version to it. Matt has finally released his debut album which I never thought it would have been released this year. I thought it would have been released on January 2018. Before the album was released the first track for the upcoming project was released "Sucker For You". Which was a decent track not bad. This track should be getting a lot of radio play instead of Justin Bieber which you may know I am not a fan of Bieber. There is a song from David Guetta featuring which I really dislike "2u" terrible production annoying vocals. Moving on to Matt. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? it was a good album I had a feeling that it would have been an alright and it turns out it went really well.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Sucker For Love", "The Thing About Love", "Rewriting History", "Original", "Romeo y Juliet. Starting of with "Sucker For Love" a decent track I really enjoyed the chorus part on the track. It has decent EDM production to it. "The Thing About Love" my second favourite track on the album such a powerful track. I really loved how he came back on X Factor to perform this fantastic track. "Rewriting History" interesting track with tropical house. Majority of music are Tropical house this is an example of a great track from tropical house. This should definitely be played on the radio. "Original" my favourite on the album I really liked how it sounds reggae to it. Featuring collaboration with "Redone" decent singer was decent on this track. "Romeo y Juliet" is a track with Matt singing in Spanish such a fantastic song. It shows how Spanish music is increasing now days. My least favourite track was a track called "Got You" it's an okay track but I just feel it weren't as strong as the others.
Overall this was a good album I would definitely listen to it again. It's a 7/10.

Jaden Smith Syre Album Review
Jaden Smith Syre Album Review
Rating: 3/10
Favourite Tracks: B, Falcon, Rapper
Least Favourite Track: Icon
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released last week on the 17th November 2017. It is Jaden Smith debut album called "Syre".
Jaden Smith is an American actor and a rapper who is the son of a great actor "Will Smith" and another great actress "Jada Pinkett Smith". Jaden is most famously known for his roles in "Karate Kid", "After Earth" and many more. Jaden is more focused on music now than acting. He has released an EP called "This Is The" which I did not really enjoy listening to it such a boring and dull EP. Jaden's first music single was a track featuring with Justin Bieber "Never Say Never" which was just boring and quite irritating to listen to. At the time when it was released most of the people criticised Jaden as he was not serious for music due to the fact he was only a kid. He has finally grown up and it turns out he is just simply becoming worse. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? If im being honest I just did not like it I thought it was awful. The production on some certain tracks were completely shit with an irritating sound to it. I just do not see Jaden having a successful music career. This album would definitely be in my top 10 worst albums of 2017 blog which will be revealed by the end of December.
My favourite tracks on this album were "B", "Falcon", and "Rapper". Starting of with "B" which is the opening track to to the album. I loved how brother and sister collaborated on this track (Willow and Jaden Smith). Fantastic track with decent production to it. "Falcon" an okay track Jaden's flow is just too good on this track. Probably one of the strongest tracks on the album. "Rapper" an okay track despite it might not be as strong as "Falcon" it's still an okay track. My least favourite track was a track which annoyed me "Icon" I fucking hate this track. The production is awful like What the fuck was Jaden thinking? Such a disastrous track.
Overall I did not enjoy this album. It was just terrible I would not listen to it again. It's a 3/10

Michael Jackson HIStory Album Review
Michael Jackson HIStory Album Review
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Tracks: They Don't Care About Us, This Time Around, Earth Song, You Are Not Alone, Childhood
Least Favourite Track: N/A
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released in 1995 on 16th June 1995. It's Michael's fifth studio album called "History".
Since reviewing his other 4 albums we now move on to his fifth album. Despite it's not my favourite album. I really like the album cover. It's a fantastic MJ statue which can be found in Netherlands. The album is really interesting as it includes 2 discs. The first disc has tracks which are greatest hits from his previous four albums. However in the second disc it is the full length album with tracks such as "They Don't Care About Us", "Little Susie", "You Are Not Alone", "Earth Song" and many more. I personally do not think that this album is underrated it's one of the albums where some fans would classify as their favourite. I would disagree with some fans saying that this album is better than "Thriller" which we all know that "Thriller" is one of the greatest albums of all time. However I can understand that fans have different opinions when it HIStory achieved a 7x platinum in US whereas in the UK it achieved 4x platinum. This album sold 20 million copies from around the world. It sold 3,500,000 in the US whereas the UK only sold 1.500.000 which became its lowest out of all the MJ albums. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? I thought this album was another good album. When I was a kid I used to have a cassette player and I had a copy of the Cassette for HIStory I always used to rewind to the track "Earth Song" which was the song that just made me want to listen to on repeat it was just so good.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "They Don't Care About Us", "This Time Around", "Earth Song", "You Are Not Alone", "Childhood".Starting off with "They Don't Care About Us" which is my third favourite track on the album such a great powerful track definitely one of the strongest's on the album. "This Time Around" which features the greatest rapper of all time "The Notorious B.I.G". Fantastic collaboration I enjoyed the production to the track. Both done very well on this track. "Earth Song" my favourite track on the album. I love this track so much. Its such an underrated track it's definitely one of Michael's best. The track is about our Earth on what's going on with our planet Earth. "You Are Not Alone" I really loved how R Kelly produced this masterpiece excellent production. Such a peaceful R&B song. It was a Christmas number 1 back in 1995. "Childhood" such a sad song about his childhood. The song was featured in a movie called "Free Willy 2" which I have only seen the first one, This song is underrated and definitely one of the strongest on this album. No least favourite tracks on this album.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this album. Such a great album with good tracks on it. I really liked the idea of having disc 1 as a greatest hits album and disc 2 the main studio album. It's a 9/10

Kurupt FM The Lost Tape Album Review
Kurupt Fm The Lost Tape Album Review
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Tracks: It's A Kuruption Ting, I Don't Smoke, Decoy, Standard Hoodlum Issue, Functions On The Low, Creeper, Ho,
Least Favourite Track: N/A
On this review I will be reviewing the debut album which was released yesterday 17th November 2017 from Kurupt Fm called "The Lost Tape".
Kurupt Fm are a 6 garage crew "Mc Grindah", "Beats", "Decoy", "Fantasy", "Chabuddy G", and "Steves". These guys are famously known for their BBC 3 programme called "People Just Do Nothing". I have been of them since the first series back in 2014. Despite they are only actors playing their characters in Kurupt FM I think these guys are funny and have a lot of talent. On the programme "People Just Do Nothing" they host a pirate radio station in Brentford where they play Garage music and a bit of Drum N Bass but mostly Garage. When I first watched the first series I actually thought Kurupt Fm was a real radio station but it turns out it's not. Their tv show is fantastic its about 6 people running a pirate radio station on a flat estate. I would recommend for those to watch the TV show on BBC Iplayer. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? It's basically some Garage classics turned into a Kurupt FM Live DJ set. I really enjoyed how they used some of the Garage production tracks and turned it into their own. It sounds like a live radio set but it's on to an album. As a fan of Garage music I thank these guys for bringing it back. Garage music was part of my childhood whilst I was growing up. It was such a good time back in the day Garage was being played in all commercial radios. I quite feel sad that how time has gone quick and how commercial radio has became shit since then. This is why I have given up commercial radio and I now listen to Pirate radio.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "It's A Kuruption Ting", "I Don't Smoke", "Decoy", "Standard Hoodlum Issue", "Functions On The Low", "Creeper", and "Ho". Starting off with "It's A Kuruption Ting". Fantastic track of a remake from Scott Garcia. I loved how they start off with the track saying "Your listening to the sounds of legendary Kurupt FM 108.9". Fantastic opener of this track of Mc Grindah Biggin up all the crew with him. "I Don't Smoke" an original track from the artist Deekline. Mc Grindah bars are too dope. Definitely the best track on the album. "Decoy" Another great track with excellent production these guys go hard on this track. "Standard Hoodlum Issue" I loved the starter to the track "Sittin upon the rhythm". My overall favourite track on the album. "Functions On The Low" this track was an interesting track which used a Stormzy track production "Shut Up". I found it very interesting on how they used a production from one of Stormzy's track. "Creeper" a decent track on the album Mc Grindah bars are just on fire. Lastly "Ho" which this track is taken as a demo track by Dizzee Rascal another great track. The whole point of this album is to use some of the tracks which has already been produced and make it better. No least favourite tracks since all of the tracks were excellent.
Overall I really enjoyed this album I was defintley hyped by listening to Garage again. I would defintley listen to it again. It's a 9/10

Fergie Double Dutchess Album Review
Fergie Double Dutchess Album Review
Rating: 4/10
Favourite Tracks: A Little Work, Tension
Least Favourite Track: Hungry
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year on the 22nd September 2017. Its the second studio album from Fergie called "Double Dutchess".
Fergie is a pop singer from California. She is also famously known as a member of "The Black Eyed Peas" which she joined back in 2003. I grew up listening to "The Black Eyed Peas" I personally think that the group were much better without Fergie. 19 years ago "The Black Eyed Peas" were a proper rap group back in the day now they became mainstream and starting making electronic rap. Moving on about Fergie solo career she has released her debut album back in 2006 called "The Dutchess" which was an okay debut album even though I am not a fan of her music. Since hearing her new album what did I think of it? I thought it was dreadful with some terrible collaboration if im being honest. This album is terrible and I do not even though where to start. Some of the tracks on this album is just too rubbish with shitty production to it. This album clearly shows Fergie was not taking this serious at all. This is just pure rubbish. There are a couple of tracks that I thought were okay but other than that it was just bad.
My favourite tracks were only two tracks "A Little Work", "Tension". "A Little Work was a decent track with great vocals and great collaboration. "Tension" this was an interesting track it was one of the tracks where she was serious even though her other tracks she just became lazy with some shitty production. My least favourite track was a track called "Hungry" this track is awful as fuck. What The Fuck? is Rick Ross doing he is awful he is one of the worst rappers ever. Such a terrible trap track how fucking awful.
Overall this was a bad experience to listen to I did not like it I would not listen to it again its a 4/10

Chris Brown Heartbreak On A Full Moon Album Review
Chris Brown Heartbreak On A Full Moon Album Review
Rating: 5/10
Favourite Tracks: Sip, No Exit, Tell Me What To Do, Emotions
Least Favourite Track: Questions
On this review I will be reviewing the new album from Chris Brown which was released last month on the 31 October 2017. It is Chris Brown eighth studio album called "Heartbreak On A Full Moon".
Chris Brown is an American R&B singer from Virginia who has been making music 2005. He is back with his new album "Heartbreak On A Full Moon" which I personally did not expect Chris to release an album this year. I am not a big fan of Chris Brown but I do like a couple of his songs. I personally think Chris does not have the best discography as an R&B artist. There is a couple of albums which I liked from him such as "Exclusive", "Fame", and "X". I think "Fame" is his best album this was the album where he became mainstream. Fantastic tracks such as "Yeah 3x", "Beautiful People", "She Aint you". Since hearing this new album what did I think of it? It is one of the most longest albums I have ever heard. I simply do not understand why would Chris make an album with 45 tracks like what the fuck! It just not need for an artist to make an album which is 2 hours long. I simply cannot believe I heard the whole album for 2 hours. The first half of the album is just not good with just simply trap productions to it whereas the second half is alright decent R&B Songs decent production to it. Before the album was released the track that I heard on commercial radio was a track called "Questions" I really hated the fact that Chris ripped off another artist for saying "Turn Me On Turn Me On". My reaction to it was like is this idiot dumb how dare he rip off Kevin Lyttle track. I personally think Kevin Lyttle track is so much better than this lazy fucker who's just stole Kevin's lyrics. I think Chris should be sued for stealing Kevin's lyrics on his track "Turn Me On".
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Sip", "No Exit", "Tell Me What To Do", and "Emotions". Starting of with the track "Sip" it's a catchy melody lyrics with interesting beats that do go along with his vocals. "No Exit" sounds bit like a track from his previous album quite interesting R&B track. "Tell Me What To Do" great production with some interesting lyrics. "Emotions" my overall favourite track on the album I think this is the strongest track on the album might be underrated but it's still a fantastic track. Moving on to my least favourite track which is pretty obvious it's "Questions" it's just a rip off he only done that just to have a hit in the charts.
Overall I found this album okay despite half of it is not good. I would not listen to it again since its 2 hours. Its a 5/10.
Rating: 5/10
Favourite Tracks: Sip, No Exit, Tell Me What To Do, Emotions
Least Favourite Track: Questions
On this review I will be reviewing the new album from Chris Brown which was released last month on the 31 October 2017. It is Chris Brown eighth studio album called "Heartbreak On A Full Moon".
Chris Brown is an American R&B singer from Virginia who has been making music 2005. He is back with his new album "Heartbreak On A Full Moon" which I personally did not expect Chris to release an album this year. I am not a big fan of Chris Brown but I do like a couple of his songs. I personally think Chris does not have the best discography as an R&B artist. There is a couple of albums which I liked from him such as "Exclusive", "Fame", and "X". I think "Fame" is his best album this was the album where he became mainstream. Fantastic tracks such as "Yeah 3x", "Beautiful People", "She Aint you". Since hearing this new album what did I think of it? It is one of the most longest albums I have ever heard. I simply do not understand why would Chris make an album with 45 tracks like what the fuck! It just not need for an artist to make an album which is 2 hours long.

The Chainsmokers Memories Do Not Open Album Review
The Chainsmokers Memories Do Not Open Album Review
Rating: 1/10
Favourite Tracks: Something Just Like This
Least Favourite Tracks: Paris, Young, Don't Say
On this review I will be reviewing which was released this year back in April on the 7th April 2017. It's the debut album from the Chainsmokers called "Memories Do Not Open".
The Chainsmokers are an EDM duo who have been dominating the charts with songs such as "Closer" "Don't Let Me Down". I have never really been a fan of them I just think some of their music are just annoying and too much EDM. I personally do not like them their production is not the best. I think they are probably the most laziest producers along with David Guetta. They are not creative at all they just some of the same production in some tracks not all tracks. I think these guys are making a mockery to electronic music they think that their all better than other electronic duos which in fact they are not they are just annoying and I do not like listening to them. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? It is fucking boring this album just makes me want to go to sleep. Such a boring album they simply cannot sing their singing just makes me want to go to sleep. The track "Paris" is such a terrible track with terrible vocals along with terrible production. The first track that I've heard from them was a track called "Selfie" back in 2014 which was one of the worst tracks in the world horrible production a stupid song with no meaning at all it is just fucking shit.
Moving on to my favourite track on this album which was only 1 track that I liked which was "Something Just Like This". Despite I do not really enjoy their production that much but this track with Coldplay is actually alright. Coldplay lyrics was alright the production was okay probably the good track on the album. My least favourite tracks on the album were "Paris", "Young", "Don't Say". "Paris" is just a fucking annoying song about two people staying in Paris. The vocals are just fucking annoying for fuck sake. "Young" those vocals are just so fucking annoying it sounds like a childish song. Production is just plain awful. "Don't Say" is featured with "Emily Warren" her voice is so annoying the production is just a piece of shit.
Overall I did not enjoy this album. This is by far the worst album of 2017. I would not listen to it again. Its a 1/10

Dizzee Rascal Raskit Album Review
Dizzee Rascal Raskit Album Review
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Tracks: Wot U Gonna Do, Space, The Other Side, Make It Last, Bop N Keep It Dippin, She Knows What She Wants, Man Of The Hour
Least Favourite Track: Sick A Dis
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in July on the 21st July 2017. It is Dizzee's sixth studio album called "Raskit".
Dizzee Rascal is a British Grime artist who I have been a fan of for a long time. I first discovered Dizzee from his fourth album "Tongue N Cheek" which had fantastic tracks such as "Bonkers", "Dirtee Cash", "Holiday" and "Leisure". Dizzee has released six albums. His first album "Boy In Da Corner" which is my personal favourite won the mercury prize 2003. Dizzee was one of the first grime artists to win a mercury. This was one of the albums that changed UK with its grime scene it was deftinley well deserved for a mercury. Such a fantastic debut album with fantastic tracks such as "I Luv U", "Sittin Here", "2 Far", "Jezebel", "Just A Rascal", and "Fix Up Look Sharp". In Dizzee Second album "Showtime" is another great album with different elements of sounds on this album. The track "Stand Up Tall is just so good I love how the production is so different to other tracks on "Showtime". In Dizzee's third album "Maths And English" which was nominated for the mercury prize back in 2007 which was his last grime album before going to pop. In 2009 Dizzee released his fourth album "Tongue N Cheek" an interesting move from grime to pop but its still an okay album. In 2013 Dizzee released his fifth studio album called "The Fifth" which was another Pop rap album which was my least favourite. 4 years later Dizzee is back and finally he is back with a grime album. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? This is just a fantastic album I am Glad that Dizzee respected what the fans wanted which was another grime album. As a fan of Dizzee I really wanted him to make another fantastic grime album and I felt really excited on the day when "Raskit" was released. This album is just fantastic the tracks are just too good. I feel annoyed when people criticise Dizzee he does not deserve to be criticized. He deserves to be praised for a fantastic career he has had over the last 14 years.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Wot U Gonna Do", "Space", "The Other Side", "Make It Last", "Bop N Keep It Dippin", "She Knows What She Wants", and "Man Of The Hour". Starting off with "Wot U Gonna Do" which was one of the tracks released before the release date for "Raskit". Dizzee flow is hard on this track his lyrics are just too good. "Space" Another interesting with decent production Dizzee flow is just too good on this track. "The Other Side" which is my third favourite track on this album. Despite I am not to keen on the production still a great track. "Make It Last" the production sounds bit aggressive but its still a decent track. "Bop N Keep It Dippin" this track is my second favourite. Its a catchy track I often come back and listen to this track on repeat. "She Knows What She Wants"Another interesting track of Dizzee rapping about what a girl wants. "Man Of The Hour" which is my personal favourite on this album such a fantastic track such a great track to the end a great album. My least favourite track was a track called "Sick A Dis" just didnt think that this was the strongest on the album its a decent track.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this album I thought it was fantastic. I would defintley listen to it again. Its a 9/10

Jamiroquai Automaton Album Review
Rating: 10/10
Favourite Tracks: Cloud 9, Superfresh, Hot Property, Summer Girl, Nights Out In The Jungle, Dr Buzz, Vitamin, Carla
Least Favourite Track: N/A
On this review I will be reviewing an album from my favourite band. An album which was released this year on the 31st March 2017. It is Jamiroquai eighth studio album called "Automaton".
Jamiroquai are a British Acid-Jazz Funk band who have been making music since 1992. As you may not know I am a huge fan of Jamiroquai I have all of the band's albums I listen to them a lot. Their music is just too good. I love their old stuff and their new stuff. I first discovered Jamiroquai from the song "Virtual Insanity" which was the song that made every part of the world discover who Jamiroquai were. The song "Virtual Insanity" was taken from their third album "Travelling Without Moving" which is the band's best album. The band have released eight studios albums their first album "Emergency On Planet Earth" which is my second favourite album from the band. It was released in 1993. This is a fantastic debut album with fantastic tracks such as "When You Gonna Learn", "Too Young To Die", "If I Like It I Do It", "Emergency On Planet Earth", and "Blow Your Mind". During that time the members were "Jason Kay" who is still the main member of the band today and he is the singer of the band. "Nick Van Gelder" was the drummer for the first Jamiroquai album which he only stayed for a year. "Wallis Buchanan" was the didgeridoo player for the first four Jamiroquai albums. "Stuart Zender" was the bass player and one of the best British bass players who was only in the band for the first three Jamiroquai albums. "Toby Smith" who sadly passed away this year and will be missed.Toby was one of the founding members of the band which stayed with the band for the first five Jamiroquai albums. He was also the keyboard player and co-songwriter for Jamiroquai. Moving on to the second album "The Return Of The Space Cowboy" which is the band's second album released in 1994. It was when Derrick Mckenzie joined as the drummer to replace Nick Van Gelder. Another fantastic album which had some influence with bossanova. It has some fantastic tracks such as "Stillness In Time", "Half The Man", "Mr Moon", and "Space Cowboy". Their third album "Travelling Without Moving" is the band's best album which is their third album released in 1996 this album done very well from around the world. It became a 4x platinum in the UK. It also became 3x platinum in Canada and 2x platinum in France. Whilst US, Australia and New Zealand it became a platinum. This was the album that made Jamiroquai a success in US. With fantastic tracks such as "Virtual Insanity", "Cosmic Girl", "Alright", "Spend A Lifetime. "Synkronized is the band's fourth studio album released in 1999. Another great album with fantastic tracks such as "Canned Heat", "Butterfly", "Deeper Underground" and "King For A Day". "A Funk Odyssey" the band's fifth studio album it is also my favourite album.Which was released in 2001. I love this album it just has a funk vibe to it. Love the tracks "Little L", "You Give Me Something" "Love Foolosophy", "Corner Of The Earth". "Dynamite" which is the band's sixth studio album released in 2005. when Toby left the band in 2001 Matt Johnson was the new keyboard player for the band which he's a good keyboard player but I perfered Toby. "Dynamite was an okay album". "Rock Dust Light Star" which is another okay album. After 7 years Jamiroquai are back with their eighth studio album called "Automaton". Since hearing this album I loved it I feel like this album is better than "Rock Dust Light Star". The tracks on "Automaton" is just fantastic it sounds different to their last album back in 2010. This album is fantastic its been on repeat for me.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which are "Cloud 9", "Superfresh", "Hot Property", "Summer Girl", "Nights Out In The Jungle", "Dr Buzz", "Vitamin", and "Carla". Starting off with "Cloud 9" this was one of the tracks released before the album was about to be released. I first heard this on Radio 2 on the day when it was premiered. I enjoyed this track a lot such a joyful track to listen to. "Superfresh" I felt so shocked on how good the production is such a fantastic track. Its one of the tracks that has been on repeat for me. "Hot Property" this is a catchy track it makes me want to dance such a good track. "Summer Girl" this track is just so good I was so impressed with the band with this track this is defintley one of the strongest. "Nights Out In The Jungle" this track is just amazing I love how it starts its so funky. "Dr Buzz" my overall favourite track on the album I love the lyrics on this track "Ooh Help Me Dr Buzz". The production is just amazing. "Vitamin" my second favourite track it sounds its speeding up a bit but it just too good the production is so different to their other album "Rock Dust Light Star". "Carla" this is an underrated track its such a good track dedicated to Jay Kay daughter. I do not have a least favourite track. All of the tracks on this album are fantastic.
Overall I loved this album a lot I enjoyed it a lot. Jamiroquai have always made great music I am proud to be a fan of a fantastic band that I loved since I was a kid. I would defintley continue listening to this album. Its a 10/10

P!nk is an American pop artist who has been dominating the charts since the 2000s. I first discovered P!nk from her fifth studio album "Funhouse" which was an album that I thought wasent that bad but not her best. Ive never really been a fan of her music ive always thought her music was just annoying and garbage. Since hearing this album I was just so impressed I personally think this is her best album overall. She is finally making decent music that just amazed me. Despite I am not a big fan of P!nk she simply has stunned the fans with this magnificent album. This album was not to pop mainstream it was just simply a calm soft rock and a bit of soft pop. The first track that ive heard before the album was about to be released was "What About Us". This was a fantastic track her lyrics are so powerful. It sounds a bit like a sad song but it just superb definitely my overall favourite on the album. Since P!nk last album was released "The Truth About Love" which was an okay album with decent songs but I personally think this is her overall best.
My favourite tracks on this album are "Revenge", " What About Us", "For Now", and "Better Life". Starting off with "Revenge" fantastic track with interesting collaboration from Eminem. "What About Us" this track is on repeat for me. Its one of the tracks that just grabbed my attention by listening to it everytime. "For Now" is a calm soft rock track. Found this track interesting seeing how a pop act done well with a soft rock track. "Better Life" an okay track did not really enjoy the production too much but its still an okay track. My least favourite track was a track called "Where We Go" not a fan of the production an okay track just not the strongest.
Overall this album was fantastic defintley her best I would listen to it again its a 7/10

Harry Styles Self-Titled Album Review
Harry Styles Self-Titled Album Review
Rating: 7/10
Favourite Tracks: Sign Of The Times, Carolina, Two Ghosts, Only Angel, Kiwi
Least Favourite Track: Meet Me In The Hallway
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in may on the 12th May 2017. It is Harry Styles debut album which is Self-Titled.
Harry Styles is a British pop artist who is successfully known as a member of the boy-band "One Direction". Who ive never really liked them as artists. Since 2015 they've been on hiatus which I think its a good thing I personally dont see them reuniting together for 1D. We are approaching the end of 2017 and we have two members who released their debut albums. Niall and Harry who both released their solo albums. Niall is an example of a flop to "Folk" music Whereas. Harry's album is just spot on. I felt so shocked hearing that Harry has talent. On this album Harry's delivers a calm 70s soft rock and bit of 80s ballads. Before the album was released I heard the preview track on his upcoming project "Sign Of The Times". I felt so shocked hearing that great track I didn't expect Harry to deliver a fantastic track. I actually thought he was going to follow Liam and Zayn footsteps and become pop mainstream. Instead hes more focused in releasing more soft rock music with a bit of indie as well. Since hearing this album I loved how the production changes to calmful ballad soft rock to a bit more indie rock. Despite Im not a big fan of Harry all I can say is that this album is better than Niall's and Zayn's.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Sign Of The Times", "Carolina", "Two Ghosts", "Only Angel", and "Kiwi". Starting off with "Sign Of The Times" this track just simply blew my mind. I was just so shocked that Harry released a fantastic track like this its has bit of an 80s ballad influenced with a bit of soft rock. Just simply fantastic defintley my personal favourite on the album. "Carolina" is another great track with interesting lyrics the production sounds different not to keen on the production but it sounds alright. "Two Ghosts" excellent production with a calmful soft rock tune. "Only Angel" is a fantastic rock track with excellent lyrics. "Kiwi" this track sounds exciting another fantastic rock track which is my second favourite. My least favourite track was the opening track to the album "Meet Me In The Hallway". I personally didnt think the album should have started with this track probably not the best opener for the album but its still an okay track.
Overall the main point of this album was just to be soft rock album not a pop mainstream. I enjoyed this album. I would probably listen to it again. Its a 7/10

Michael Jackson Bad Album Review
Michael Jackson Bad Album Review
Rating: 10/10
Favourite Tracks: Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Just Good Friends, Man In The Mirror, Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal
Least Favourite Track: N/A
On this review I will be reviewing an old album which was released back in 1987 it is Michael's third studio album which is called "Bad".
Michael who was one of the greatest artists in the world. His music has been so great it has been loved by the fans all around the world. There are a couple of tracks that are just so powerful such as "Earth Song" which in my opinion is my overall favourite song from MJ. Such a powerful beautiful song singing about our planet Earth. Michael has always been an artist who I've enjoyed listening to since I was a kid. I've always loved the album Off The Wall since I was young it's one of those albums which defines the era of "Disco". "Thriller" is one of the greatest albums of all time the tracks on that album are just too good. Since hearing the album "Bad" what did I think of it? Its another fantastic album Its one of his second biggest album which sold 32 million copies from around the world. This album is just fantastic just like "Thriller". It has amazing tracks such as "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Smooth Criminal", "Dirty Diana", and many more. These tracks done so well on the Billboard charts and it has done well on the official uk charts. The album "Bad" received a 13x platinum in the UK and a diamond in the US. Majority of countries such as France, Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, Australia all received Platinum for the album. This album is just too good Quincy Jones production is just spot on.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Just Good Friends", "Man In The Mirror", "Dirty Diana", and "Smooth Criminal". Starting off with the opening track to the album "Bad". Which is a fantastic opener to the album the lyrics are catchy it one of those tracks which is often played on radios such as Radio 2 which often plays Michael's music Bad is one of the popular choices on Radio 2. "The Way You Make Me Feel" such a calmful track to relax and listen to. I quite often come back and listen to this track. "Just Good Friends" this track is underrated its featured with Stevie Wonder both of them done really well on this track fantastic collaboration from two great artists. "Man In The Mirror" which is my personal favourite on this album such a brilliant track. It feels like we all come together to sing this masterpiece. "Dirty Diana" another fantastic track with brilliant lyrics the production on the track is just amazing love how it starts. "Smooth Criminal" which is some of the fans favourite. Such a fantastic track I love the part when Michael goes "You've been hit by a smooth Criminal". I haven't got a least favourite tracks all of the tracks were good on this album.
Overall I really enjoyed listening to this album its another classic album from Michael. I would defintley listen to this album again. Its a 10/10. Next Sunday I will continue Michael's discography the next album which I will review on Sunday will be "Dangerous"

SZA Ctrl Album Review
SZA Ctrl Album Review
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Tracks: Doves In The Wind, Drew Barrymore, Prom, Broken Clocks, Normal Girl, Pretty Little Birds, 20 Something
Least Favourite Track: Anything
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year back in June on the 9th June 2017. It is SZA debut album called "Ctrl".
SZA also known as Solana Imani Rowe is a talented female R&B singer from St Louis Missouri in USA. She is one of the only female artists in the record label "Top Dawg Entertainment" which include artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock and many more. She has released 3 EPs which includes "See SZA run" "S" and "Z". Three of these EPs are just too good. 3 years later she releases her debut album "Ctrl" which is an album that is just so fantastic. I love SZA as an artist she just phenomenal I admire her a lot. In my opinion she is one of the most talented female artists in our generation. She's so cute bless her she has the most cutest smile ever from a female artist. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? This album just amazed me of how talented she really is. It is definitely likely to be nominated for 2018 Grammys album of the year this is an example of an R&B masterpiece. I would be so shocked if this isn't nominated for Album of the year category it truly does deserve to be nominated for album of the year. Its one of the albums that has been getting a lot of positive reviews in these last few months. The tracks just blew me away her vocals are so beautiful the production is really good. The collaboration on the tracks are just too good the one that I really thought that the collaboration was excellent was the track "Doves In The Wind" which is featured Kendrick Lamar the greatest rapper in our generation. Both of them done really well on this track.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Doves In The Wind", "Drew Barrymore", "Prom","Broken Clocks", "Normal Girl", "Pretty Little Birds", "20 Something". Starting off with "Doves In The Wind". As I was saying this track has the best collaboration with the one and only Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick verse on this track is just so damn good. As we all know Kendrick very creative hes an inspirational I truly respect Kendrick as an artist. Their vocals do blend in well together on this fantastic track definitely my overall favourite and one of the strongest on the album. "Drew Barrymore"is a decent track with decent production to it. Her voice simply does blend in. "Prom" I love how the track starts it sounds like a snare clap in the first few seconds of the track. Still a decent track. "Broken Clocks" I love how the intro starts off with an interesting voice and then SZA comes on with her beautiful vocals I love how the track ends. "Normal Girl" the piano synth starts on the intro of this track another decent track this is probably my second favourite on the album. "Pretty Little Birds" has decent lyrics and decent production I love how jazz is included on the production of this track. "20 Something"I love how the guitar is included on this track such a calmful peaceful track to listen to her vocals are just wow pure amazing. My least favourite track was a track called "Anything" its a decent track just not a big fan of the production but its still a decent track.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this album it's a fantastic debut album from a talented artist I am definitely looking forward to her future projects. I would definitely listen to this album again. Overall its a 9/10

Sam Smith The Thrill Of It All Album Review
Sam Smith The Thrill Of It All Album Review
Rating: 7/10
Favourite Tracks: Too Good At Goodbyes, Say It First, Midnight Train, HIM, No Peace
Least Favourite Track: One Last Song
On this album review I will be reviewing an album which was released today it is Sam Smith sophomore album (second studio album) called "The Thrill Of It All".
Sam Smith is a British pop singer who I have never really listen to that much over the last few years. I first discovered Sam from a track which he was featured with "Disclosure" who I am a massive fan of the track was called "Latch". The moment I heard that track I already knew that Sam was going to be big. It is such a fantastic track with production by Guy Lawrence and Howard Lawrence who are two brothers from the electronic duo "Disclosure". I felt really proud listening to the track Latch it just amazed me with Sam's vocals. The production is just too good the Lawrence brothers are just excellent producers. After 2013 Sam went on to release his debut track which was "Money On My Mind". I remember those times where I used to bang out listening to that track its so dope. He then released other tracks such as "Stay With Me", "Im Not The Only One" and many more. By the middle of 2014 he released his debut album called "In The Lonely Hour" which was a decent album it had tracks such as "Stay With Me", "Im Not The Only One", "Like I Can", and many more. Now it has been 3 years since his debut album Sam's new album is finally here after 3 year wait. After hearing "The Thrill Of It All" what did I think of it? I thought this album was a decent album couple of good tracks on this album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Too Good At Goodbyes", "Say It First", "Midnight Train", "HIM", "No Peace". Starting off with the track "Too Good At Goodbyes" which is the opening track to the album. This track has been getting lots of plays on commercial radio which im glad to see since this is the only decent song on commercial radio now days. Such a powerful song really enjoyed listening to it. "Say It First" another decent track not the strongest track on the album. "Midnight Train" my personal favourite track on the whole album it such a calmful track to listen to Sam's vocals is just simply at its best. "HIM" is another decent track and quite an interesting one as well. "No Peace" which is the track which is featured with a female singer called "Yebba". The collaboration on both of them is just too good their vocals defintley do go well together on this track. My least favourite track was a track called "One Last Song" I just didnt like how the track started if im being completely honest it is still an okay track.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this album I would defintley listen to it again its a 7/10

Weezer Pacific Daydream Album Review
Weezer Pacific Daydream Album Review
Rating: 5/10
Favourite Tracks: Feels Like Summer, Weekend Woman, QB Blitz, La Mancha Screwjob,
Least Favourite Track: Happy Hour
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year on October 27th 2017. It is Weezer eleventh studio album called "Pacific Daydream".
Weezer are an American rock band from Los Angeles who have been making music since 1992. I have never really listened to them or even heard of them in the last few years. I will definitely have a look and listen to their other albums when I have time. Since hearing "Pacific Daydream" what did I think of it? I just feel like this album was just average there were a couple of tracks which I found good since I am only discovering them today. There were some that I just didn't really like as I thought it didn't really go well on this album. Despite I only discovered Weezer this morning I feel like they have other albums which are better than this. I am not saying its bad its just an average album. Since hearing this album I find them really interesting and curious finding out what the other albums are like. On this album there were some tracks that sounded like rock from 2002/2003 which was just fascinating. On this album Rivers cumo delivers some decent vocals on tracks such as "La Mancha Screwjob", "Mexican Fender", "Weekend Woman" and many more.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Feels Like Summer", "Weekend Woman", "QB Blitz", and "La Mancha Screwjob". Starting off with "Feels Like Summer" this sounds like a rock pop track. Its a really interesting track with decent production and decent vocals/lyrics. "Weekend Woman" is one of the strongest tracks on this album. It sounds bit like beginning of 2000s rock which is just simply too good. "QB Blitz" is the track which I mentioned that sounds like 2002/2003. This track is my second favourite overall it is freaking good it just sounds like a relaxing calm track. "La Mancha Screwjob" is my overall favourite I love this track it is their best track on the album this track just makes me want to sing to it over and over again. I have now been listening to this track on repeat. The vocals/lyrics and production is just too good. "We're getting stronger and stronger going faster faster". This is my favourite lyric on the track. My least favourite track on the album was a track called "Happy Hour" which was a track that I didnt really enjoy the production too much it just wasent the best track on the album.
Overall I found this album average it was an okay album but it just wasent the best. Defintley curious finding out about their other albums. I would maybe listen to the album again. It is a 5/10

Calvin Harris Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 Album Review
Calvin Harris Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 Album Review
Rating: 8/10
Favourite Tracks: Slide, Heatstroke, Feels, Faking It, Hard To Love
Least Favourite track: Skrt On Me
In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year in the end of june 30th June 2017 it is Calvin Harris fifth studio album called "Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1".
Calvin Harris is a Scottish DJ/Producer from Scotland who I have been a massive fan of since his first album "I Created Disco" which was released 10 years ago. There were songs such as "The Girls", "Merrymaking At My Place","Acceptable In the 80s","Love Souvenir" and many more. Calvin's first album is really good as he produced the entire album with a 90s computer which some artists have never done at that time in 2007. In 2009 Calvin released his second album "Ready For The Weekend" which is personally my favourite album from Calvin which had tracks such as "Ready For The Weekend", "Flashback", "You Used To Hold Me", "Im Not Alone", "Limits" and many more. This album was just the begining of people knowing who he was it is such a masterpiece. In 2012 he released his third album called "18 Months" which was the album that made Calvin mainstream. It is my second favourite album from him. Fantastic tracks such as "Feel So Close", "I Need Your Love", "Lets go" and many more. In 2014 he released his fourth album called "Motion" which was an alright album. And now 3 years later he releases an interesting album in 2017 "Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1". When I bought this album on the day it was released I was just so excited to hear an album from Calvin since its been 3 years. When I heard this album I thought to myself this is defintley something different from Calvin. It wasent electronic as in the other previous albums. It was a funk album which I personally agree that Calvin should do something different. I just felt really pleased listening to some funk production which he produced.
Moving on to my favourite tracks which were "Slide", "Heatstroke", "Feels", "Faking It", and "Hard To Love". Starting off with "Slide" which was the track that kicked off the album. It was the first track released before the album was released. It has some decent collaboration featuring Frank Ocean and the rap group Migos. Such a fantastic track it is one of the tracks that I come back and listen to. "Heatstroke" which features Pharell Williams, Ariana Grande and Young Thug. This track sounded like it was from the 70s the production is just so good. "Feels" featuring with Big Sean and Katy Perry this is the song of the summer this was the song that made me want to listen to over and over again due to how excellent it is. "Faking It" Another decent track that I like Khelani vocals is just simply too good. "Hard To Love" is my favourite out of all the tracks it is featured Jessie Reyez who is so cute. I love her music she is so talented she done so well on this track I am so proud of her. The production just amazed me its one of those relaxing tracks. My least favourite track was a track called "Skrt On Me" which I thought there was no point in featuring Nicki Minaj with her annoying vocals.
Overall I found this album very good I would defintley listen to it again. I will also review his other albums in the future. Overall its an 8/10
