glaive
This album has a lot of sounds and styles, and I think the highlights of this one are amazing. The Band, Spinning Around, Weston Super Mare are my favourites after a few listens, but there are some songs that kinda feel uninteresting to me like Yaya Toure. Still, there is a lot to process in an album like this with less than 30 minutes runtime and overall it's a solid collection of songs within their own electropop / indie-rock lane.
Gunnr
I hear from a lot of people that Gunnr is a style biter and while this sound does sound similar to the likes of 2hollis etc., I don’t mind it at all. That being said there’s still a lot of artistic uniqueness in some songs and these are also the ones I enjoy the most.
underscores
The singles are carrying this project but I really like the slower, more hypnotic songs too. Excited to see what underscores comes up with next
Jack Harlow
Love the direction Mr. Harlow went with for this pretty short album. While the reactions online are pretty funny, I like that so far we all (more or less) think this is his best work. I haven’t listened to a lot of slow music lately so this was a welcome surprise. Still, after a few listens it feels like such a coherent album that I don’t remember which song was which and I really can’t tell what my favorite tracks are without listening back in. After doing just that I gotta say that Trade Places definitely takes the cake out of the only 9 tracks.
kurtains
Really nice exploration of sounds and genres here, I thought kurtains would be more popular than he is right now.
Charli xcx
I wouldn't say this sounded like brat, it sounds like she's going further down the road to her charli album, think "white mercedes" etc. These tracks actually made me wanna go watch the movie (or read the book) so hollywood pay this girl a little more for next time! I think 'House' is a classic by default and I actually like the true romancey tracks on here, especially 'My Reminder', even though they're very stripped down and simple in nature. Her bringing in pop prowess into these cinematic (but still very synthy) instrumentals made this special. I'd say this is another certified Charli dinger
Baby Keem
Bottom half of the album is amazing, top half of the album is not really what I want from Baby Keem, but it's fine in a way where I wouldn't skip any songs if I was listening in the background. I like that he kept it short with this one.
Maxwell
His voice is a little generic and doesn’t really have a lot of character, but the overall mood of the album is so groovy it doesn’t really matter. I loved it when I first heard it a few years back, and now coming back to it the hype kinda wore off. Still an amazing album that I will for sure spin in the future
Jane Remover
One of the most positively confusing first listens ever
Olivia Dean
Breath of fresh air with this album, but very short-lived as I think if she keeps this style going it will get boring fast
After
Deep Diving got recommended to me and the entire EP sounds pretty awesome too in comparison! Very 2010s sounding, it’s like if Owl City made a mixtape with songs just like Fireflies
Frost Children
I’m pretty new to electronic music but I’m glad I got into it, this is pure energy!!
Thee Sacred Souls
Very simplistic and beautiful, sometimes too simplistic in that we don't really get any surprises from this album. Still a solid project, Marvin Gaye would be proud
2hollis
"you once said my name for the first time" is beautiful asf man
Stormzy
Heard this for the first time when I was sick and stuck in bed. Love the mellow energy tracks
Mazzy Star
"Fade Into You" is obviously a classic but this album has a lot more to offer than just that. Do not apply any rational thought to this album
Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic
Proven formula, but still very sonically pleasing. The instrumentals in each track are so good, there is a generic theme of the album but this is still on repeat 4 years later.
SIENNA SPIRO
Found "MAYBE." by Sienna randomly via the Spotify algorithm and got hooked immediately. Haven't listened to this album in a while but it will probably end up in my favorites list of 2025. Definitely give it a try!
