ALBUM REVIEW:: BEYONCE – Lemonade

By now you would have heard of the talk this album has caused. It’s almost taken over the loss of Prince. In my eyes, this woman is a genius. Not just musically, but even if this album isn’t about her rumoured unfaithful and equally famous husband, Jay-Z, it’s got people talking and asking what does she have to say? Just remember, this album was released exclusively to Tidal. Who owns

ALBUM REVIEW:: RIHANNA – ANTI

Finally, the most anticipated album is here. After basically years and delays, with not even an official release date, we have finally been given a look at what Rihanna has been hinting at this whole time. If you’ve ever wanted to give RiRi a chance, this is your opportunity to jump onto the bandwagon. ANTI is so cool, vocally powerful like you’ve never heard before, lyrically well structured and special

ALBUM REVIEW:: JUSTIN BIEBER – Purpose

I’m going to make this as short, sweet and simple as possible. The Biebs is back and he’s better than ever. No, seriously, he will make all the haters stop in their hate rally and with the help of this album, will turn everybody into Beliebers by the end of the year. Well, one would hope so. This kid deserves some solid respect after what he has achieved with Purpose.

ALBUM REVIEW:: DEF LEPPARD (2015 Self-Titled)

This album sounds nothing less than a Def Leppard album. There are some modern influences throughout, whether intentional or not, but overall the Lepps are back, their concert isn’t far away, and I must learn some of their new songs. This album made me so happy from the get go. Pour Some Sugar On Me, is undoubtedly Def Leppard’s most well known song. Let’s Go has a bit of that

ALBUM REVIEW:: TYRESE – Black Rose

R&B is back! Real R&B is back. You can tell quite quickly once you begin to indulge into Black Rose that Tyrese has matured. It’s honest, it’s powerful and most of all, it has a lot of soul. You can really sense the deep and enormous heart Tyrese gives in this album. I cannot compliment it enough. The most incredible thing about Black Rose is Tyrese’s fight for people to

ALBUM REVIEW:: JAMIE FOXX – Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses

I must have been living under a rock for the last month or so, because I had no idea that Jamie Foxx was releasing a new album. It has been a while for Foxx, but I guess he has been too busy winning Oscars and what not. I absolutely love Jamie Foxx, especially as an actor. He’s definitely a great vocalist as well, more noticeably when he’s throwing out all

ALBUM REVIEW:: JINUS – THE BEGINNING EP

I have been dying to receive some local-based music to critic. My prayers were answered when I received an email last week labelled ‘Jinus’ The Beginning EP promo album. Enjoy.’ I was told this EP was a throwback of the Trance I once listened to, with a mix of that Big Room House stuff. I haven’t listened to Trance in such a long time. This brought back so much love

ALBUM REVIEW:: CALVIN HARRIS – MOTION

I don’t quite understand why Calvin Harris is being criticised for his latest album ‘Motion’. All I’ve read is that, the fact that he is now the highest paid DJ in the business; he can take the foot off the accelerator, and only stick to what he knows. Still producing quality music, but playing it safe. But why should he steer away from what he is good at? He can

ALBUM REVIEW:: ARIANA GRANDE – MY EVERYTHING

There’s two things my mind keeps tracing back to when I listen to ‘My Everything’ – Nickelodeon and Mariah Carey. I know we all know her very well from those Nick shows, and I know she has been compared to Mariah a lot, but I am yet to be able to set her apart. Undoubtedly, Ariana Grande is talented. The girl can sing, she looks great and she’s likable. Also,

ALBUM REVIEW:: IGGY AZALEA – THE NEW CLASSIC

So, I decided to give this Iggy chick a chance. To be honest, I had low expectations and lucky I did, because ‘The New Classic’ absolutely blew me away, unexpectedly. It didn’t sit right with me that she was Aussie born and raised, rapping with an American accent. Anything goes in the music industry these days. But, then you listen to her talk and read her story, and it makes
