Latest Reviews

Madison Beer has released a new album titled Locket. This piece zeroes in on one of its standout tracks, “Bad Enough,” though I definitely recommend giving the entire album a listen—you’re almost guaranteed to find something that catches your attention.

Carpenter Brut has released his new single “The Misfits The Rebels,” the latest track taken from his forthcoming album Leather Temple, due out February 27 via No Quarter Prod and Virgin Records.

As Megadeth count down the days to the release of their final studio album, the band have unveiled “Puppet Parade,” the last single fans will hear before the self titled record arrives this Friday, January 23. The song closes out the album’s rollout with a darker, more reflective tone that feels intentionally full circle for a band preparing to say goodbye.

Charlie Puth is one of those artists I feel more familiar with from YouTube clips than from a deep dive into his discography. Attention was a banger. There’s no denying that. And there’s definitely no denying Charlie’s insane musicality. That’s the frame of reference here. With that in mind, let’s talk about Beat Yourself Up.

Three tracks from Charli XCX have been released so far in anticipation of her upcoming album Wuthering Heights. This piece will focus on Wall of Sound, her latest release. Taken together, the three tracks feel like a kind of loading screen for the album. The first two tracks, House featuring John Cale and Wall of Sound, have a distinctly cinematic quality, as if they exist mainly to build atmosphere and tension. That said, they still sound great. Chains of Love feels like the most fully realized song of the three.

Madison Beer has opened 2026 with the release of her third studio album, Locket, a record that presents the singer at her most reflective and controlled. The 11 track collection arrived on January 16 through RCA Records UK alongside the music video for the single bad enough, and it quickly set the tone for a year that looks set to be dominated by Beer’s thoughtful pop vision.

Jordan Ward has returned with his latest single, “CHAMPION SOUND,” released on January 9, 2026. The track previews his highly anticipated second studio album, BACKWARD, due January 30, 2026. One YouTube user summed up the vibe perfectly: “This is the music I would blast while riding downtown while the sun starts to set for the weekend.”

Multi-platinum artist and BRIT Award nominee Matt Cardle kicks off 2026 with the release of his new single ‘Fading Lights’. Marking his return after a seven-year gap between albums, the track is a confident and feelgood statement that sets the tone for his forthcoming record, The Great Escape, due April 10th.

Zach Bryan’s long-awaited sixth studio album, With Heaven On Top, arrives today as a sprawling, deeply personal statement from one of modern country’s most singular voices.

David Byrne has never been an obvious choice to revisit a modern pop heartbreak anthem, which is exactly why his new take on Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” feels so alive. Released today, the cover arrives on the fifth anniversary of the original song and serves as the first instalment in a planned series of reimagined versions tied to Rodrigo’s debut album, SOUR.
