Latest Reviews

Kendrick Lamar just released a new album titled “GNX”. I’m not going to dive too deeply into the songs or break them down in detail—because, honestly, I can’t talk right now. I’m too busy dancing to them. You should put it on immediately.

Okay, this one is a bit different. I’m a big fan of Ariana Grande, so I try not to miss anything she releases. That’s why, right now, I’ll be talking about her latest release, “Popular”, which is part of the soundtrack for the movie Wicked. The new Wicked movie was released just three days ago, along with its soundtrack.

Aminé has recently dropped a new four-track single titled “.mp3s.” In this review, I’ll focus on the opening track, “s2wik.” From the very start, the song feels incredibly fresh and dynamic. As a fan of artists like Kaytranada, PinkPantheress, and Fred Again.., I found the track’s vibe immediately appealing. The beat leans into an industrial sound—perhaps a nod to the fact that the artist performing on it didn’t produce it. Regardless, Aminé ties it all together seamlessly with his compelling vocal delivery.

Amber Mark has recently dropped a new banger titled “Wait So Yeah.” My personal favorite by Amber Mark has always been her cover of Sade's iconic track, “Love Is Stronger Than Pride.” Before hearing “Wait So Yeah,” that was pretty much the only song I had listened to thoroughly by her. With this in mind, I didn’t quite know what to expect.

In psychology, there’s a recurring idea that “the psyche is image.” Every thought that drifts through our mind is painted, sculpted, also composed. Each mental scene carries the transcendental, divine hue of poetry. It’s fascinating, then, that “Floating gold”—an ambient, nearly 70-minute odyssey of psychedelic textures—finds its inspiration in an unexpected place: the waiting line for Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It’s a reminder that no matter what we’re doing, even standing in line, our minds weave everything into poetry.

The one-chord, constant strumming of the guitar, paired with an upbeat singer, has been a signature of the rock-pop movement for decades. Often stereotyped or caricatured, we imagine beautiful singers strumming away with conventionally angelic voices—this representation, across various forms of media, is almost inevitably accompanied by insinuations of a lack of depth in both the music and the artist.

FINNEAS has released a new single, "Lotus Eater," as part of his latest album, For Cryin' Out Loud. While this review focuses on the single, remember there’s plenty more to explore on the album, which marks his third full-length release, excluding two deluxe editions of previous records.

Fie Eike is back with another wonderfully relaxing, piano-driven track. Her latest single, "Omrids," is a melodic treat, featuring only piano—beautifully and masterfully. The song starts off strong and sustains its promise throughout. The melodic theme comes in at just the right moment, adding an extra layer of beauty. Fie hails from Denmark, where this track was created. I'm not sure if it should be classified as Danish folk music, though it does remind me of some old Swedish folk songs I'm familiar with. But honestly, the genre doesn’t matter much here—just listen to it!

Kygo and Imagine Dragons, two pop powerhouses, have teamed up for a new track titled "Stars Will Align." It's a natural collaboration for these chart-topping artists, and on this song, they show not only their individual strengths but also an impressive synergy. Both are known for their high-energy hits—think "Believer," "Radioactive," "Stole The Show," and "Firestone." Ring any bells?

Barry Can’t Swim has recently released a new EDM-infused banger titled Still Riding. The title perfectly reflects how the song feels to listen to. Some songs really carry you through them like a moving train, constantly pushing forward. Sometimes that momentum can feel overwhelming, but Still Riding is definitely a chill ride. It has a beat reminiscent of artists such as Fred Again, Four Tet, or Mall Grab.
