NAV - Good Intentions (Album) Nav has released his fifth full length studio album. It features many high profile features on nearly every song. Immediately in the second song you're greeted by Young Thug followed by Future in the third song. The features don't plan to go anywhere either as Gunna and Travis Scott are quickly found on the next song. NAV has been called out for his career being carried by other artists since he started making music and this album doesn't seem to try to prove them wrong. Other features include Lil Uzi Vert, Don Toliver, Pop Smoke, and Lil Durk. Kehlani - It Was Good Until It Wasn't (Album) Kehlani who many may know from her many smash hits has released her 4th full-length studio album. With  features including James Blake, Tory Lanez, and Jhene Aiko the album has a star studded cast. The album features a couple of skits, has a runtime of 39 minutes, and features 15 songs. The album is sure to be a charting success and it is likely w...

May the 4th is today and May the force be with you! While Star Wars is certainly a film series, a book series, multiple tv shows, and many other things, the Star Wars experience certainly is very different without its amazing music. Everyone can hum the "Duuh  Duuh da da da Duuh Duuh da da da Duuh Duuh dun-dun-dun-duuuuh..." and it's been stuck in everyone's heads forever. Well, that's thanks to Star Wars' music composer, John Williams. John Williams is a seasoned veteran when it comes to making music for films. Even if you're not a huge fan of Star Wars he may have scored the music for your favorite film. His catalogue includes films like Jaws, Harry Potter, E.T., and at least one hundred more films. He did the music for the 9 Star Wars saga movies although he claims he's never actually seen one in its entirety. It seems that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker  (2019) is also the last Star Wars entity to actually have the music composed by him alt...

Kid Quill is an artist that you've possibly listened to, however, it's unlikely. He's an artist that busted onto the scene in 2014 with his first album, Ear to Ear. His upbeat rap and r&b influenced upbeat music is hard to truly pin down into one genre. His lyrics are amazing if you love storytelling and witty one liners. Many of his songs also capture nostalgia in the best way such as in songs like "Kids in the Summer" and "Rain, Rain". On "The Name Above the Title", the album that I first discovered Kid Quill through, he makes many upbeat songs with great hooks and great lyricism. This is still my favorite album by Kid Quill and perfectly captures many different emotions like in "Sounds Like You" it captures how a guy can feel about a girl. A song like "As Long as I'm Me" is a mellow, sad song about Kid Quill's comeup. "A Song to Sing" is the most fun and upbeat song on the album which sounds li...

Gorillaz have released a new song featuring the late Tony Allen and the very much still alive Skepta. The song is a single for the band's upcoming album, Song Machine. The song features afrobeat legend, Tony Allen and British rapper, Skepta. Skepta is the primary vocalist in the song and the song is very much a rap song. So why is this song's release such a big deal? Well, because afrobeat legend, Tony Allen is featured on the song. The musician died just two days before this song's release. His death was unrelated to coronavirus and was instead due to a heart attack. Former band mate, Damon Albarn, who also runs Gorillaz decided to pay tribute to a friend and legend in the music industry. Although his only vocals on the song is a bit of humming, his impact in music as a whole is way bigger. It is said that he is one of the Godfathers of afrobeats and without him the genre would probably not exist.

Drake - Dark Lane Demo Tapes (Mixtape) Drake, the biggest artist of the last decade, has released his first full-length project in this new decade. Do not be confused, however, this is not an album and is not his followup to Scorpion (2018). This is instead best described by Drake himself, " put together alot of the songs people have been asking for (some leaks and some joints from SoundCloud and some new vibes)". In other words, it's more or less another Care Package  (2019), this time with different leaks and some new songs. This mixtape also features his chart-topping single, "Toosie Slide". He confirmed in an Instagram post that his forthcoming album will indeed be releasing this Summer. Car Seat Headrest - Making a Door Less Open (Album) Car Seat Headrest's new studio album is not a huge departure from their usual sound. The album sounds very similar to one of their older albums,  How to Leave Town (2014). While it does take strides into p...
