On this review I will be reviewing the new album by Jack White. The album was released this year on the 23rd March 2018. It's the third studio album by Jack White called "Boarding House Reach".

Jack White is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor from Detroit Michigan. He is known as the lead singer and guitarist of the duo 'The White Stripes'. He has also had success with other bands and of course as a solo artist. 'The White Stripes' I am not big fan of them but they have made some great songs in the early 2000's such as "Seven Nation Army", "Fell In Love With a Girl", "We're Going To Be Friends", "You Don't Know What Love Is" and many more. If I had to pick a favourite 'White Stripes' album I would say "White Blood Cells". I have been fan of Jack White's solo career since his debut album "Blunderbuss" was released. 'Jack White' has always been a blues rock artist along with garage rock, folk rock, blues, punk blues. Jack was also in other bands such as 'The Raconteurs', and 'The Dead Weather'. Despite I am not big fan of 'The White Stripes' I much prefer his solo career. Discussing about his discography he has released three studio albums. "Blunderbuss" his debut studio album, The album that made me a 'Jack White' fan. I really love "Blunderbuss"it's a calm blues rock album. His second studio album "Lazaretto" his second studio album. Which I thought was an alright album not his strongest album but it was alright. Which brings us now to his new third studio album "Boarding House Reach". Since hearing his new album what did I think of it? I was quite surprised that it sounded so different than the previous albums. This album was more experimental than the other two. I do not understand why some music reviewers gave this album a negative score. I was pleased that Anthony Fantano gave this a 9/10. This album is a great album I really loved it it was something new.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Connected By Love" I love the backing choir on this track whilst Jack's singing. This track is well produced. "Why Walk A Dog?" it sounds like an 80s experimental rock track really great track. "Ice Station Zebra" such an amazing track I really love the sounds on this track. "Over And Over And Over" This track is freaking awesome it's the best track on the entire album. I would say it's his best track overall as solo career. "Respect Commander" Awesome guitar riffs and interesting sounds. "Get In The Mind Shaft" another great track it's well produced. "What's Done Is Done" I love how this track is so calm another great track. My least favourite track was "Hypermisophoniac" I found this one quite weird.

Overall I loved the new Jack White album. It's a good album. I would listen to it again. It will definetley make it to my list of Top 20 Best Albums Of 2018. I would give this album an 8/10.

Least Favourite Track: Light Luxury 


On this review I will be reviewing the new album from Aisha Devi, which was released on the 11th May this month this year. It's the second (sophmore) album by Aisha Devi called "DNA Feelings".

Aisha Devi also known as Kate Wax is an avant-grande artist from Switzerland, who has been making music for quite some time. She is best known as a film composer where she has composed films such as "The Middle Of Tekir", "He Was A Giant With Brown Eyes". Despite this is my first time discovering her, Her music is really interesting it's a mixture of avant-grande, trip hop, and a bit of ambient. On this album "DNA Feelings" it includes these thumbing beats, Which I find very interesting. Her voice is very beautiful mixed with these thumbing hardcore beats. Discussing about her discography she has released two studio albums and some EP'S. Her debut album "Of Matter And Spirt" was released in Autumn 2015. Despite I have not heard her debut album I will listen to it once I finish this review. Her second album "DNA Feelings". Since hearing her new album what did I think of it? Well I thought it was very interesting it was my first time discovering her. She has an interesting voice. Her voice is mixed with these electronic thumbing beats. Even though I have not heard her debut album I can't really compare it to her new album. I might enjoy her debut album. But overall I thought the album was okay.

Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with "Dislocation Of Alpha" I love the interesting voices on this electronic track being mixed with these interesting electronic beats. "International Dreams" another interesting track with interesting electronic production. "Hyperlands" I love the thumping sounds on this track. "Genesis Of Ohm" I love the robotic electronic sounds on this track it's a good track. My least favourite track was "Light Luxury" It's an alright track but not quite the strongest on the album.

Vance Joy Nation Of Two Album Review

Vance Joy Nation Of Two Album Review 
Rating: 3/10 
Favourite Tracks: Lay It On Me, Saturday Sun 
Least Favourite Track: Alone With Me 





















On this review I will be reviewing the new album from Vance Joy. The album was released this year on the 23rd February 2018. It is the second (sophomore) album called "Nation Of Two".

Vance Joy also known as James Gabriel Keogh is an Australian singer and songwriter. Vance Joy is an indie pop, indie folk artist. He was signed to Atlantic Records on a five-album deal in 2013. I do not listen to 'Vance Joy' that much. I first discovered him with the single "Riptide", At the time when I heard "Riptide" being played on the radio I really enjoyed the track. I do not understand why some music reviewers did not really like "Riptide" at the time. During that time it made me want to discover more about his music which I did. His debut album "Dream Your Life" was an alright album. I thought it was an alright folk album with decent production. However his second (sophomore) album "Nation Of Two" was a disappointment. Since hearing his new album what did I think of it? I just can't believe it took him four years and that's the best he can do with his new album. It sounds like 'Mumford & Sons'. I understand why music reviewers have been giving this album a low rating. I was hoping a better indie folk album from him. Unfortunately he does not deliver on this album. I much prefer his debut album than this one. Some of the tracks on this album were good but some did not grab my attention on liking the other tracks.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album "Lay It On Me" it's definitely the best track on the album. It's like I am listening to this whilst driving. "Saturday Sun" it's a joyful folk pop track really enjoyed this track. My least favourite track "Alone With Me" it was the weakest on the entire album. Well there were some others that were weaker.

Overall I was disappointed on the new album by 'Vance Joy'. I would not listen to the album again. Hopefully a third album in the future will be much better. I would give this album a 3/10.

Which brings us now to their second album 4 years later they are back with their second album "PRhyme 2" since hearing this album what did I think of it? It's another great album. This what hip hop albums should definitely sound more in 2018. It's true hip hop. These two are legends and have been in the game for a long time. It's a good album I loved it the production was good.

Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with "Black History" I really love this track. I loved how they were rapping fast on this track it's a good track with great production.

Charlie Puth Voicenotes Album Review

Charlie Puth Voicenotes Album Review 
Rating: 6/10 
Favourite Tracks: Attention, Done For Me, If You Leave Me Now, Somebody Told Me 
Least Favourite Track: The Way I Am 


On this review I will be reviewing the new album from Charlie Puth which was released this year on the 11th May 2018. It's the second (sophomore) studio album by Charlie Puth called "Voicenotes".

Charlie Puth also known as Charles Otto Puth Jr is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer from New Jersey. His exposure became success through YouTube videos where he was posting covers on YouTube. I do not really listen to his music but I do like some of his songs. I like the song where he was featured in the Fast Furious soundtrack. "See You Again" featuring 'Wiz Khalifa'. It was his debut single. It was a tribute to Paul Walker. After the success of "See You Again" he also gained recognition worldwide through another debut single which was a led up to his debut album "Nine Track Mind". The single is called "Marvin Gaye" which is featured 'Meghan Trainor'. I thought the collaboration did not go well. It's an okay track but not his best. Discussing about his discography he has released two studio albums. "Nine Track Mind" which is his debut studio album. I did not think it was his best album. The problem with this album was lack of production. This made the album turn out to be negative reviews by music reviewers. I feel that the album could have been better with better pop production.Which brings us to his second album "Voicenotes" since hearing his new album what did I think of it? I thought it was an okay album. It is definitely better than the debut album. "Voicenotes" has better production than "Nine Track Mind". On "Voicenotes" it has some great collaboration featuring 'Khelani', 'Boyz II Men', and 'James Taylor'. Charlie stated that he describes this album as 'Walking down a dirt road and listening to 'New Edition'.

Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with "Attention" when I heard this track on the radio I was surprised that Charlie released this. The track is so catchy. It's defintley one of his best tracks. "Done For Me" which is featured 'Khelani' her beautiful soothing voice is on this track. It sounds like an 80s club pop song. "If You Leave Me Now" which is featuring 'Boyz II Men'. The underrated track on the entire album. It's a great track it's a calm and peaceful R&B track. 'Boyz II Men' did great for being the backing vocalists on this track. "Somebody Told Me" it's a 90s pop rock track. I enjoyed this one. My least favourite track was "The Way I Am". It's a decent but not quite the best opener to the album.

Overall I can say that this album was okay. It's so much better than "Nine Track Mind". I would maybe listen to it again when I am in the mood to listen to his music. I would give this album a 6/10.

When I listen to his music it sounds like carnival rap. It's like the Brazilian carnival vibes. Discussing more about his debut album"WWW.". After hearing this album what did I think of it?  I thought this album was average if I am being honest. There are some tracks that I thought had great collaboration for example I really enjoyed the 'SZA' collaboration on the track "Morning View". I also enjoyed the 'Teddy Jackson' collaboration on the track "Symphony". I loved the carnival vibes. It's an average album with some alright tracks.

Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with "Symphony" I loved the carnival vibes on this track it reminds bit of the 'Basement Jaxx'. Great collaboration from 'Teddy Jackson'.

Kacey Musgraves is an American country pop singer from Texas. She is a singer and a songwriter. I am not a big fan of country music but some artists like Chris Stapleton and Kacey Musgraves I like listening to. I first discovered Kacey back in 2015 where she released her sophomore full length album "Pageant Material" I enjoyed listening to her sophomore album. There were great tracks such as "Dime Store Cowgirl", "This Town", "Biscuits", "Somebody To Love" and many more. It was a great album I enjoyed it. Kacey started releasing independent albums for quite some time she released independent albums such as "Movin On", "Wanted: One Good Cowboy" "Kacey Musgraves(Self-Titled)". She was signed to Mercury Nashville record label in 2012 where she released her debut solo single "Merry Go Round" which is a single from her debut full length album "Same Trailer Different Park". Since she signed to Mercury Nashville record label in 2012 she has released four studio album. "Same Trailer Different Park" her debut studio album. It's an alright album not my favourite but it's alright. "Pageant Material" which is the album I enjoyed a lot definitely my favourite. "A Very Kacey Christmas" her third studio album which is a Christmas album. I thought it was good album it's an album for the festive season to get ready for Christmas. Which brings us to her new album her fourth studio album "Golden Hour". Since hearing this album what did I think of it? I loved her new album I agree with music journalists praising the album. I can understand why this album is fantastic which is of course a beautiful album. It's definitely a contender for album of the year. It will definitely be a contender on my Top 20 Best Albums Of 2018. "Golden Hour" could definitely be her best album up to date. Really enjoyed her beautiful country pop vocals. It's a great album.

Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with "Slow Burn". I love her vocals on this beautiful track. Beautiful guitar riffs. "Butterflies" I love the 70s guitar country pop on this track. Kacey wrote this track one week after meeting her husband 'Ruston Kelly'. The lyrics on the track implies that she was just going through the motions of life. Her love builds up and does not bring down like past relationships. "Oh, What A World" I love the electronic effects on the track which reminiscent of 'Daft Punk'. She expresses her gratitude for life on this track. I enjoyed this track a lot. "Love Is A Wild Thing" A beautiful track about love. "Space Cowboy" it's about her significant other leaving. she recognises the good times they had together. It's claiming he need space and she is willing to give it to him. It's a great track. "Wonder Woman" The track is about a woman who wants her partner to know that she ain't Wonder Woman and that she does not need to be a superhero. It's a relationship song very beautiful. "High Horse" This track injects a more disco production to it's country foundation. "Rainbow" another beautiful track so smoothing that makes you want to relax and listen to her beautiful voice. My least favourite track was a track called "Velvet Elvis" not the strongest in my opinion but it's alright.

Overall I enjoyed this album. I loved it, It's a great album. I would definitely listen to it again. It's a 8/10.

Rating: 6/10 
Favourite Tracks: City Looks Pretty, Need A Little Time, Walkin' On Eggshells, Sunday Roast 
Least Favourite Track: I'm Not Your Mother, I'm Not Your Bitch 


On this review I will be reviewing the new album from Courtney Barnett which was released on the 18th May 2018 this year. It was released last Friday. It is the sophomore studio album from Courtney Barnett called "Tell Me How You Really Feel".

Courtney Barnett is an Australian singer, songwriter, and musician. She is an Indie rock, Alternative rock, and Folk artist who has been making music since 2012. I have been a fan of Courtney's for quite some time. I first discovered her back in 2014 when she released a track called "Pickles From The Jar" which I thought was an annoying track with annoying lyrics for example 'I say dance you say dance'. I would say it's her worst track. After a few years I gave her a chance. Her debut album "Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit" released in 2015. Very unusual name for a debut album. I thought her debut album was alright some of the track were average but it was alright. Two years later she releases a collaborative album with 'Kurt Vile' called "Lotta Sea Lice" which I enjoyed the album. It's a fantastic collaborative album by two great artists. They both deliver a great indie rock album. One year later Courtney's back with a new album. She is back with her second studio album "Tell Me How You Really Feel". Since hearing her new album what did I think of it? I thought it was an alright album. I thought it was okay. It was more alternative rock. I would say I prefer this album than her debut album.

Moving on to my favourite tracks starting with. "City Looks Pretty" this up-rocking track is so good. It sounds a bit like 'Wolf Alice'. "Need A Little Time" It sounded more like a folk rock track which I enjoyed also. "Walkin' On Eggshells" Which is my overall favourite. This track is awesome. It has awesome vocals and awesome guitar riffs. "Sunday Roast" a calmful rock track that makes you want to relax. My least favourite track was "I'm Not Your Mother I'm Not Your Bitch" It was one of those hard aggressive rock tracks. I just thought it was the weakest track on the entire album.

Overall I can say this album was okay. I quite preferred it than her debut. I would listen to the album again. It's a 6/10.

Sting & Shaggy 44/876 Album Review 
Rating: 4/10 
Favourite Tracks: Morning Is Coming, Sad Trombone 
Least Favourite Track: Don't Make Me Wait


On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released on the 20th April 2018. It is a collaborative album from Sting, and Shaggy called "44/876".

Sting also known as 'Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner' is an English musician, singer, songwriter and actor. Who was also known as the lead singer and bassist for the new wave band 'The Police' they were a great band at the time I love the tracks "Every Breath You Take", "Roxanne", "So Lonely" and many more. Shaggy also known as 'Orville Richard Burrell' is a Jamaican musician, singer, DJ, and former United States Marine. He is best known for his hit singles "Boombastic", "It Wasn't Me", "Oh Carolina" and many more. For the first time these two artists come together to release a collaborative album. This album has been getting a mixture of reviews. The British newspaper 'The Guardian' gave this album a 2 stars out of 5. Most British newspapers have been rating this album quite low. However 'Pitchfork' An American music magazine have rated this album a 4.8/10. Discussing more about this album this is a reggae/pop album with some jazz reggae references. After hearing this album what did I think of it? I thought this album was hilarious. I literally could not stop laughing whilst listening to the entire album. This album is bad. Both artists tried their best on this album. On some of the tracks it sounded more like pop reggae than an entire reggae album. I did not expect this collaboration to happen let's be real who would have thought this two would make an album together.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Morning Is Coming". This smooth reggae track is one of the only good tracks on the album. I love how they start on this track it's like a smooth downtown reggae track. "Sad Trombone" I love the jazz reggae on the start of this track it's a great track shame the album is not that good. My least favourite track is "Dont Make Me Wait" which was released as a single before the album was released. This track I thought it was boring cheap pop reggae track. It's just a boring track.

Overall I did not enjoy this album. I dont think I would listen to it again. It's a 4/10.

Fredo Tables Turn Mixtape Review

Fredo Tables Turn Mixtape Review 
Rating: 6/10
Favourite Tracks: Haters, Again, What It Is  
Least Favourite Track: Keep It Real 


On this review I will be reviewing the new Mixtape released from Fredo released on the 9th February. It's the second mixtape from Fredo called "Tables Turn".

Fredo is a London-based Grime act .He has been making music for quite some time. He is from Mozart Estate which is located in Landbroke Grove. He was considered as one of the leading figures of London gang Harrow Road Boys. He has been Mcing for years until he started dropping projects. He gained attention with the track single "They Ain't 100" which I thought was a great track. I enjoyed his flows on that track. That track immediately started gaining attention. The same year he released follow up tracks such as "Trapspot" and "Pattern Gang". Two decent tracks. I prefer "Pattern Gang" his flows are decent along with hardcore drill production. Discussing about his projects. He has released two mixtapes. His debut mixtape "Get Rich Or Get Recalled" It's a great debut mixtape I enjoyed his flows on his debut mixtape. The tracks were bangers & bangers from start to finish. There were not that many collaborations only a few. His second mixtape "Tables Turn" released this year. After hearing this mixtape what did I think of it? I thought it was a decent mixtape he delivers us with good collaboration apart from one track which I thought the collaboration did not work well. But overall the production on the entire album was alright there might have been a few squeaky sounds on it but it still sounds decent.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the mixtape starting with "Haters" featuring 'Not3s'. I enjoyed both artist's flows on this track were wicked the production was solid. "Again" it's a great track about him touring the city and about girls. "What It Is" it has that spacey grime vibe it kind of reminds me a bit of the track by Stormzy's "First Things First". The production sounds a bit like it. My least favourite track was "Keep It Real" featuring 'Desiigner','Dave East'. I really dont 'Dessigner' I think he's a boring awful rapper with only one good track "Panda". I feel like Fredo should have kept 'Dave East' instead of 'Desiigner'. His voice is so annoying.

This mixtape was okay I enjoyed it. I would listen to it again. It's a 6/10

Wiley Godfather II Album Review

Wiley Godfather II Album Review 
Rating: 5/10 
Favourite Tracks: Been A While, I Call The Shots, Bar, Crash 
Least Favourite Track: All The Time 


On this review I will be reviewing the new album released by 'Wiley' on the 27th April 2018. It is Wiley's twelfth studio album called "Godfather II".

Richard Kylea Cowie Jr also known as 'Wiley' is a grime legend from Bow East London. He is a rapper, recording artist, and a record producer. Wiley is one of grime's longest pioneers. He has been in the scene from the very beginning in the early 2000s. Wiley's is a legend along with 'Dizzee Rascal' two grime legends who have been their since grime was underground up to it becoming popular and mainstream. Wiley started as a DJ and eventually began rapping incorporating Garage music, along with Drum And Bass. Along with his produced instrumentals which led to the first creation of Grime beats such as 'Eskimo'. Wiley started on Rinse FM when Rinse Fm was a pirate radio at the time before they gained the licence for it to be broadcast on FM. Wiley always used to spit bars on some Rinse FM shows such as DJ Slimzee show. Wiley formed the group 'Roll Deep' before his other group 'Pay As U GO' disbanded. The members from 'Roll Deep' include Dizzee Rascal, Tinchy Stryder, DJ Target, Scratchy, Flowdan and many more. 'Roll Deep' started as a garage group. After Dizzee and Tinchy left. It became a Pop Grime group. Discussing about Wiley's discography Wiley has released 12 studio albums such as "Da 2nd Phase", "Playtime Is Over" , "Evolve Or Be Extinct", "The Ascent", "Godfather" and many more. Which brings us to his new album "Godfather II". Since hearing this album what did I think of it?  I thought this album was average. The first half of the album started strong but the second half is average. The first half starts off as the heavy grime sounds whereas in the second half sounds more like a pop grime which is different to the first half.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Been A While" I loved his flows on this track it's catchy it's hard. I love the chorus "Eskiboy Godfather II I'm back with the bang". "I Call The Shots" featuring 'JME' This track is a banger. The collaboration on both artists is awesome their flows  are just too good. It feels like your in East London listening to them. "Bar" featuring 'Scratchy' 'D Double E' I love the sounds on the production it really represents what 'Eskimo' beats sound like. The collaboration was alright despite I dont know much about them. "Crash" which is one of the tracks from the second half of the album which I thought this track was the good one. It's featuring 'Sinead Harnett' who I have been fan of her music for quite some time. It's a decent song it's like a pop rap song. Wiley's flows were decent on this track. My least favourite track "All The Time" which I did not like. I don't know why Wiley used autotune on this track.

Overall the album was average disappointing it did not sound nothing like "Godfather 1" only the first half sounded like it. I dont see myself going back to this album only the tracks I liked. It's an average album. It's a 5/10.

Least Favourite Track: The World's First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip 


On this review I will be reviewing the new Arctic Monkeys album which was released on the 11th May 2018. It's the new Arctic Monkeys album their sixth studio album called "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino".

Arctic Monkeys are a British band from Sheffield who I grew up listening to through my childhood. The band consists of four members. The lead singer 'Alex Turner', The drummer 'Matt Helders', The guitarist 'Jamie Cook', and the bass guitarist 'Nick O'Malley'. Arctic Monekys are my third favourite band. I have loved their music since their groundbreaking debut album "Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not" which is my favourite album from them. It was the start of their careers. From that album I love the tracks "When The Sun Goes Down", "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor", "Fake Tales Of San Francisco" and many more. Arctic Monkeys have always been an indie-rock band mixed with garage rock and bit of post-punk. Discussing about their discography 'Arctic Monkeys' have released six studio albums. Starting with their debut album "Whatever People Say I am That's What I'm Not". A great debut album. With hard rock, Indie rock. It has some great lyrics. And great tracks such as "When The Sun Goes Down", "Fake Tales Of San Francisco", "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" and many more. It's my favourite album from them. Their second studio album "Favourite Worst Nightmare" Most fans would say it's the band second best album. It's another strong album like their debut. I liked their second album I love the tracks "D Is For Dangerous", "Flourescent Adolescent", "Do Me A Favour" and many more. It's a good album very strong like their debut. Their third studio album "Humbug" is my second favourite from them I think this album is underrated it's such a different record like the other two. I enjoyed how this album has some desert rock and bit of calm rock. I loved the tracks "Crying Lightning", "Fire And The Thud", "Cornerstone" and many more. Their fourth studio album "Suck It And See" it's okay not the best I would say it's my least favourite. Their fifth studio album "AM" is my third favourite from them. It's such a great album I personally think it's better than "Suck It And See" the song "Arabella" is amazing. Amazing guitar riffs lyrics and production. Which brings us to their new album "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" since hearing their new album what did I think of it? I loved the new sound on the new album it sounds spacey with space pop. It feels like I am in space listening to a few tracks that has space pop. It's a great album I dont understand why some fans did not like it. I guess it takes more listens for it to grow.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Star Treatment" which is the first track on the album. This track is absolutely amazing. It sounds like alternative rock from the 70s. It's a great track. "American Sports" it's another good track quite underrated but it sounds decent. I loved Alex's lyrics on this track. "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" I loved Alex's lyrics. The track is about a hotel which Alex made a reference by singing "Hello Mark Speaking Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino". "Four Out Of Five" another space pop track on the album which is about giving how many ratings out of 5. "She Looks Like Fun"is a decent track it's more of a pop rock on this track. My least favourite track was "The World's First Ever Monster Truck Flip". It's alright but not the best track on the album.

Overall I enjoyed "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino". It was a good album. I do see myself going back to this album. I thought it was good. It's a 7/10.

Kali Uchis Isolation Album Review

Kali Uchis Isolation Album Review 
Rating: 8/10 
Favourite Tracks: Miami, Just A Stranger, Flight 22, Tyrant, In My Dreams, After The Storm 
Least Favourite Track: Nuestro Planeta 


On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released on the 6th April 2018. It is the debut by Colombian American singer 'Kali Uchis' called "Isolation".

Kali Uchis is a Colombian-American singer, songwriter, poet, record producer, music video director, and a fashion designer. She is known as her collaborated song with 'Daniel Caesar'  "Get You" which was nominated for Best R&B Performance in the Grammy's. I first discovered her from her track "After The Storm" featuring 'Tyler The Creator', 'Bootsy Collins'. Which I thought was a great track. Tyler's flows were really good. I loved her voice on "After The Storm". Her voice is so smoothing. She has one of the most smoothing beautiful voices of 2018. Discussing about her projects she has released one EP. "Por Vida" which is a start to her music career. I quite enjoyed her first EP I thought it was really smoothing. During that time it was released (2015) I knew this girl was going to be successful. She's really beautiful she deserves to be more heard from around the world. Discussing about her debut album "Isolation" since hearing this album what did I think of it? Can I just say 'Wow' I am very impressed with this album. This album is so beautiful. I just love how she sings mixed Spanish along with English. Her voice is so beautiful. It's defintley a contender for my Top 20 Best Albums of 2018 which will be revealed in December. It's also likely to be nominated for the next Grammy's hopefully. She really done well on her debut album. Absolutely love this album.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Miami" featuring 'Bia'. I love the collaboration on this track. 'Bia' done well on this track but 'Kali' vocals on this track is simply amazing. "Just A Stranger" featuring 'Steve Lacy' I thought the production on this track was good the production was decent. The collaboration was alright. "Flight 22" I love how 'Kali' is a cabin crew on this track by saying welcome aboard to "Flight 22". It's basically a takeoff track. Her vocals is so smooth and beautiful makes me want to relax. "Tyrant" which is featured with 'Jorja Smith' defintley my overall favourite on the entire album. These two artists are the future of music and they showed it on this beautiful track. "In My Dreams" which was produced by 'Gorillaz' Aka 'Damon Albarn' It's sounds like an 80s synth pop track. "After The Storm" featuring 'Tyler The Creator' and 'Bootsy Collins' a great track. Impressed with Tyler's rap flows on this track. Lovely vocals from 'Kali' and 'Bootsy'. My least favourite track was a track called "Nuestro Planeta" it's alright but it sounded more like Spanish reggae 'Reggaton'. Not the strongest on the album. But it's still alright.

Overall I enjoyed listening to Kali's debut album I loved it it was beautiful. I would listen to it again. It's an 8/10.

Nils Frahm All Melody Album Review

Nils Frahm All Melody Album Review 
Rating: 7/10 
Favourite Tracks: Sunson, Human Range, Forever Changeless, All Melody, Momentum 
Least Favourite Track: My Friend The Forest 


On this review I will be reviewing the new album from 'Nils Frahm' which was released on the 26th January 2018. It's the ninth studio album by 'Nils Frahm' called "All Melody".

Nils Frahm is a German musician, composer and record producer based in Berlin. Originally from Hamburg. He is known for combining ambient, classical, and electronic together. He mixes on a grand piano with an electronic synthesizer "Roland Juno-60" and many more. He uses a lot of vintage gear during his live performances and on his songs from his different albums. I dont know Nils that much since I don't listen much to his music but he is actually a good composer. Just love how he plays the grand piano and mixes it with a synthesizer. He has released nine studio albums which I haven't heard his albums that much apart from hearing "All Melody" in full. Since hearing this album what did I think of it? I thought it was interesting album I liked it. I loved how he mixes Ambient and Classical together. Despite I am not a fan of Classical music but I prefer Ambient than Classical. It's a good album to relax to. Definitely recommend if you are looking for ambient classical and electronic all together on one album. When he plays the grand piano on some tracks it feels like it was recorded on a voice notes from a phone. I heard the background noise in the studio.But overall it's still a good album very impressed I will need to hear his other albums.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Sunson" I love how the build-up on this track the synthesizer really does build-up on this powerful track. "Human Range"a relaxing soothing ambient sounds on this beautiful track. "Forever Changeless" great piano solo on this track. Love the production on this track another relaxing track to relax to. "All Melody" a beautiful piano melody which includes a soothing ambient sound. "Momentum" a interesting noise sounded like a choir. My least favourite track was a track called "My Friend The Forest"  it's an alright track I guess but not quite my favourite.

Overall I enjoyed this album it was a good album. I would listen to it again. It's a 7/10.

J. Cole KOD Album Review

J. Cole KOD Album Review 
Rating: 6/10 
Favourite Tracks: ATM, Kevin's Heart, Brackets, Friends, 
Least Favourite Track: Motiv8 


On this review I will be reviewing the new J. Cole Album which was released on the 20th April 2018. It is the fifth studio album by J. Cole called "KOD".

This is the fifth full length album from the North Carolina rapper. Who I think is a great lyricist. But at times when it comes to his albums he has not put a strong album. At times it has been weak. But I feel J. Cole can do so much better. At times most of his fans prefer his trap mainstream side whereas I prefer his Hip Hop side. He is a Hip Hop artist with just only a few trap rap tracks. J. Cole has been in the music scene for a long time now. He released his first mixtape back in 2007 "The Come Up" which was viewed for over 1,274,000 it was the start of J. Cole career. His second mixtape "The Warm Up" the viewings increased up to 3,100,000 times. His third mixtape "Friday Night Lights" it's been known as his best mixtape out of the other 2. I like J.Cole I am fan of some of his albums but I don't listen to him that much. I wouldn't say he has the best discography but he has some decent studio albums. Discussing more about his studio albums starting with his debut album "Cole World: The Sideline Story" which is an okay debut album not the best debut but it has some interesting messages and flows on his debut album. His second studio album "Born Sinner" I did not really like his second album just did not like it. It's his weakest album.  His third album "2014 Forest Hills Drive" is my favourite album from him. I love the conscious hip hop on "2014 Forest Hills Drive". His fourth studio album "4 Your Eyez Only" another good album from Mr J.Cole himself. I love the Jazz rap on this album with Conscious rap just like "2014 Forest Hills Drive". Which brings us now to his fifth album "KOD". Since hearing this album what did I think of it? This album was rushed when it came to the stages of recording. It's not that bad but I can tell why most fans would say it's boring since some think he is not entertaining does not have a strong albums just like Kendrick's. I think this album is okay it would have been better if production sounded more jazz hip hop just like the intro on the album.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "ATM" this track is about counting how much money you have.I love the chorus 'Count em up count em up count em up count it'. The production is excellent. Definitely one of the best songs of 2018 so far. "Kevin's Heart" which is about Kevin Hart himself about him cheating his wife with someone else. The music video is funny with Kevin Hart being funny as always. The track is good J.Cole flows is too dope on this track. "Brackets" it's a decent track not quite the strongest but at least it's decent. "Friends" which is speculated to be Cole himself in the form of an alter-ego. The track is good his flows were interesting. He mentions Trump and Clinton as saying 'Blame Trump and Blame Clinton'. As we all know 2016 election was a joke those two candidates were a joke. He also blames trap music as well on the track. Since he has been beefing with 'Lil Pump' past few months. My least favourite track was "Motiv8". It sounded so weird his flows did not match the production style.

Overall I thought this album was okay. Quite disapointing that jazz rap was not on the entire album apart from the intro. I would maybe comeback and listen to it again but not at the moment. It's an okay album. It's a 6/10.

Janelle Monae Dirty Computer Album Review

Janelle Monae Dirty Computer Album Review 
Rating: 9/10 
Favourite Tracks: Dirty Computer, Crazy Classic Life, Django Jane, Pynk, Make Me Feel, I Like That, Don't Judge Me, Americans 
Least Favourite Track: Screwed 


On this review I will be reviewing the new Janelle Monae album which was released on the 27th April 2018. It is the third studio album by Janelle Monae called "Dirty Computer".

Janelle Monae is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer, actress, and model. Janelle originally began her music career back in 2003 when she released her demo album "The Audition" She then went on to release her first EP back in 2007 "Metropolis:Suite I(The Chase)". Her genre is a funk, with R&B, and a bit of art rock included with hip hop. She was signed to 'Bad Boy Records' where she released her debut album "The ArchAndroid" back in 2010. "The ArchAndroid" is a decent album it's an okay debut album with great tracks such as "Faster", "Locked Inside", "Cold War", "Tightrope" and many more. I love the track "Tightrope" from her debut album which is featured from one half of 'Outkast' 'Big Boi'. "Her sophomore album (Second album) "The Electric Lady" is a great album it's very entertaining with jazz influence. Gospel also had some influence on this album. I saw a live performance on YouTube of Janelle performing the track "Electric Lady" I loved her atmosphere when she performed that track live. I love her energy I love how she jumps to the crowd whilst "Electric Lady" is being played. "The Electric Lady" is a great album just like the first one. Moving on to her new album "Dirty Computer" after hearing her new album what did I think of it? It keeps getting better and better. I loved this album it's defintley a contender for album of the year and likely to even be nominated for Grammy Album Of  The Year. This album is superb I loved the collaboration on this album. The collaboration includes 'Brian Wilson', 'Zoe Kravitz', 'Grimes', 'Pharrell Williams'. The opening track on the album "Dirty Computer" which is featured the legend himself Mr Brian Wilson. It's a good opener to the album but I feel like we should have heard more from Brian. The track "I Got The Juice" featuring Pharrell Williams not the best track but it's alright I love the funky production.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Dirty Computer" Which is featured the legend himself Mr Brian Wilson. I love the harmony sounds on this track. But I feel like we needed to hear more from Brian. It felt like he was the backing vocalist. "Crazy Classic Life" I love the repetition on this track I love her smooth voice on this track. I love how she changes from singing to rapping in approaching the end of the track. "Django Jane" I love her rap flows on this track it's so catchy. Her flows and lyrics are just too good. "Pynk" which is featured with 'Grimes'. At first I didn't like the track but then after few listens I started to enjoy it. "Make Me Feel" This track is amazing I love the 'Prince' vibes on this amazing track. "I Like That" it's an okay track I loved her rapping flows on the end of the track. "Don't Judge Me" I love the guitar intro on the track it sounds like a mid 90s R&B track. "Americans" it's a good track. I like the production on it. It's quite underrated track. My least favourite track was a track called "Screwed" which is featured 'Zoe Kravitz'. It's an okay track but I didn't think it was strong as the others.

Overall I loved and enjoyed this album. It will defintley make it into my Top 20 Best Albums Of 2018 list which will be revealed in December. I would listen to the album again. I loved it. It's a 9/10.

Post Malone Beerbongs & Bentleys Album Review

Post Malone Beerbongs & BentleysAlbum Review 
Rating: 5/10 
Favourite Tracks: Zack And Codeine, Rockstar, Stay, 
Least Favourite Track: Spoil My Night 

On this review I will be reviewing an album released on the 27th April 2018. It's the sophomore second studio album from 'Post Malone' called "Beerbongs & Bentley".

Post Malone also known as Austin Richard Post is an American rapper singer songwriter and record producer. He gained recognition with his 2015 debut track "White Iverson". Which is not his best track but the production is decent. Before signing a record deal with 'Republic Records' he released his debut album "Stoney". Which was an album I did not care to much about since it wasn't that good. His other big track was a track called "Congratulations". Which was a track that I did not enjoy that much. I would say that "White Iverson" was much better than "Congratulations". Post's genre has been described as R&B, Hip Hop, Rap Rock and Cloud Rap. At times he can be an R&B artist with his guitar. It kind reminds me of Kurt Cobain when he has his acoustic guitar with him. It's like he's trying to be a rock artist. Moving on to his new album "Beerbongs & Bentleys". After hearing his new album what did I think of it? It's better than "Stoney". I thought this album was average it did not really surprise me if Im being honest. It's better than "Stoney" because at least it's a mixture of genres whereas in "Stoney" it just trap rap on the entire album.

My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Zack And Codeine" which is the underrated track on the entire album. Post's flows is decent on this track. It's a reference to the Disney show "Suite Life Of Zack And Cody". "Rockstar" is probably the best track of Post's career. It's such a good track. The production is excellent. '21 Savage' flows were good on this track despite I am not a fan of '21 Savage'. "Stay" is one of the tracks where he plays acoustic guitar. It's like an acoustic guitar session. It's an underrated track on the entire album. My least favourite track was a track called "Spoil My Night" which is featured 'Swae Lee' from 'Rae Sremmurd'. The track is awful the collaboration is terrible. 'Swae Lee' sounds like a child on this track his flows is not even that good.

Overall this album was average. I would not listen to the entire album again I would listen to only the tracks that I liked. It's a 5/10.
