album reviews

Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.

Labyrinth Voices
I’ve been a fan of Ill Melley for about five years now. I’ve witnessed his growth from a couple of mixtapes to producing for other artists and putting out singles on a consistent level. He has been working with another producer who goes by the name of Sorrow Beats on weekly singles and now a beattape. I’ve been waiting for this event for probably a month or so and now it is finally on different streaming services. Behold, Labyrinth Voices.

"Living in the City" - New Album by Big Harp George
Chromatic blues harp virtuoso, Big Harp George, takes a giant leap forward with the release of his fourth album, Living in the City (Blues Mountain Records). Recorded at Greaseland Studios and expertly produced by Chris Burns, this album is a self-portrait of a mature artist demonstrating prodigious skills as a musician, singer, songwriter, and bandleader — and enjoying the hell out of himself in the process!

Live Around the World - Queen + Adam Lambert Album Review
October 2nd brought the long-awaited 1st release from Queen + Adam Lambert, since joining forces a decade ago, the band has been almost entirely focused on playing live shows. They finally broke their silence on April 30th, 2020 when they released a YouTube video titled, You Are the Champions, which was a rendition of “We are the Champions” released as a fundraiser for The Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund for The World Health Organisation. But when their 2020 tour was postponed due to the virus, they got to work compiling a live album to give fans a taste of the arena experience, today we are going to take a closer look at the path that lead to this release as well as the 20 tracks on it.

Detroit 28 album review.
Big Sean took a hiatus from music after his less than stellar collab project with Metro boomin and left a lot of fans unsure what was next. I was one of those fans.

Savage Mode II Album Review
“Great men with great ideals can be separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles and still be in the same place. They can be years or even generations apart in age. And yet, somehow, find themselves on the exact same page. When these men join forces to put the focus of reaching the same goals... they are not two, but one. Instead of simply adding one's common attributes to another's, they somehow tend to multiply all attributes of both. Whether from St. Louis or East Atlanta. Whether from a savage land or a booming metropolis. Whether they are two or two billion, the greatest their numbers could ever become, is to truly become one.I now present to you SAVAGE MODE II."Morgan Freeman

BLACKPINK "The Album
For all those who don't know, BLACKPINK just released their debut album. For years since their debut, this has been a long time coming. It's crazy to think about; the group is internationally known and favorited behind BTS to breakout into America. The crazy part is, before this album, they had only 13 songs out. Any controversies with the group will be saved for a different time. Without a doubt, that is what took this album this long to come.

Cuties Soundtrack
Netflix's Cuties is one of the most controversial films I have ever watched but you gotta admit the songs are a bop. Even though I am not a fan of the film I do adore the songs from the film. I have tried to find the songs from the film multiple times but I kept hearing the songs from the movie trailer and from the grotesque dance sequence until now I found the soundtrack finally uploaded on YouTube.

John G. McDaid: Found in Translation
Let me introduce you to John G. McDaid. He was my student in the MA in Media Studies Program at the New School for Social Research in New York City in the early 1980s. I was delighted when his first professionally published science fiction story "Jigoku No Mokushiroku" (in Asimov's Science Fiction magazine) won the Sturgeon Award in 1995, right around the time one of my first published stories, "The Chronology Protection Case," in Asimov's older sister magazine, Analog, was nominated for the Nebula Award. I was pleased when I began to see John start showing up in Media Ecology Association conferences about a decade later, singing a variety of catchy songs.

'Wonderful Crazy Night'
In the mid-2010s, Elton John's life was in a good place. He had a loving family with his husband David Furnish, and two sons, Zachary and Elijah. So his approach coming into the studio for the work that would become Wonderful Crazy Night was that he wanted to make an upbeat album with a live feel.

Hardy Is NOT just a broke boy, He is OUR boy.
When I decided to do a full album review on Hardy, I knew I had to be somewhere I could sit, listen to the words more intently, and not have the wind blowing from the windows being down...... I have listened to this album on repeat since it came out... I am a fan, and I honestly think Hardy should be president, because he's just that amazing.... Here is my honest review on an honest man whose album is one of the greatest albums I have ever listened to, and I'm putting him up there with Shania's Twain Come On Over Album, which I still to this day listen to with happiness in my soul.....Here's the long awaited album review on Hardy, enjoy bbys!
