new music from ⟢ Troye Sivan, Slayyyter, Remi Wolf, horsegiirL, METTE, Current Joys, Goldie Boutilier, Rochelle Jordan, Dawn Richard… Troye’s ‘She’s the Best’ is one of my favorites this week. a lot of textures and sounds here that i really wasn’t expecting to hear, there’s some electronica, trip hop, and even breakbeat moments. really enjoyed hearing him try all of this, and it’s the album i’m most excited to spend more time with this weekend. Remi Wolf’s album also had some

new music from ⟢ Madonna & Charli xcx, Tame Impala & Fcukers, Tinashe, Jae Stephens, M83, Phoebe Bridgers, 2hollis, Perfume Genius, Rex Orange County… Madonna’s “Danceteria” remix with Charli is one of my favorites so far. i expected them to change up the production a lot more, but they kept so much of what i already loved about the song. we also got Fcukers’ remix of Tame Impala’s “Loser.” love these two artists but i was so confused by this one, the tempo doesn’t really mat

new music from ⟢ Miley Cyrus, Tove Lo, Carly Rae Jepsen, beabadoobee, Boy Harsher, Troye Sivan, Beck, ROSÉ, AZ Chike, Kim Petras, Yeat & Drake, Travis Scott… so many albums this week, but that’s always a good problem to have. based on first listens Boy Harsher’s album is probably my favorite so far. this band continues to be underrated, definitely worth your time. the Night side of Carly Rae Jepsen’s double album is another standout for me. it’s such a great, cohesive dance r

new music from ⟢ Slayyyter, Jhené Aiko, Tinashe, Bloc Party, Bonobo, Hercules & Love Affair, Sophia Stel, Victoria Monét, Shygirl, FKJ… good week for electronic and neo-soul music! really loved the new Hercules & Love Affair record ‘Danseur.’ released in two parts over the last few months, the full project is finally here and it’s such a great listen from start to finish. it’s rooted in queer club culture, house music and the history of the dancefloor, it sounds nostalgic and

new music from ⟢ Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, LISA, ADÉLA, Laundry Day, Rebecca Black, Joy Crookes & Ravyn Lenae, Fat Dog, Nsqk… Beyoncé released the 20th anniversary edition of ‘B’Day’. this is probably the most Beyoncé album out of her entire discography and it’s been expanded to 31 tracks, including b-sides, spanish versions, remastered tracks, unreleased features from Pharrell, Maluma & Selena + new remastered 4K B’Day videos on the way! Miley Cyrus is also back with her new sin

new music from ⟢ JENNIE, Erykah Badu & The Alchemist, Interpol, Haute & Freddy, Ruby Doll, Olivia Rodrigo, Majid Jordan, Alabama Shakes, Boy Harsher, Turnstile… Erykah Badu & The Alchemist finally dropped their collab album. this is such a perfect pairing, Erykah sounds completely at home over The Alchemist’s production and I love that she was also really hands on with the production herself. they spent 18 months working on the album between Dallas and LA, and you can really

new music from ⟢ Jungle, Troye Sivan, KATSEYE, Phoebe Bridgers, Tinashe, Erykah Badu, Ayra Starr, benny blanco, Icona Pop… Phoebe Bridgers has finally made her return with ‘Lost Weekend,’ and the whole world she’s created around this album is just stunning. definitely one of her most exciting albums yet, she really made some of her best music to date. what stood out to me the most after my first listen was how cinematic a lot of the outros are on these tracks. excited to spen

𓇳 album review _ issue 22
Music, Fashion, Film / @charli_xcx instead of trying to recreate Brat, she made one of her most introspective records yet. it’s an indie rock album with deconstructed production that explores getting older, identity, and figuring out where she fits now. what are your thoughts on the new album??? swipe through for my full album review + in the same rotation playlist on spotify + apple music ♫ overall rating: 8.3 / Replay

new music from ⟢ Steve Lacy, Nia Archives, Syd, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rick Ross, beabadoobee, Gracie Abrams, Mariah Carey, Leon Bridges… The Internet fans really won today. Steve Lacy, Syd, and Matt Martians all released new projects. Steve Lacy’s album is much more rock forward and neo-psychedelic than I expected, but it works so well. every track has its own standout moment, and even at only 10 songs it doesn’t feel rushed or underdeveloped.. i wanted to replay every song befor

new music from ⟢ Madonna, Justin Bieber, La Roux, Rico Nasty, Jon Hopkins & Imogen Heap, Sienna Spiro, Sophia Stel, Fat Dog, Ken Carson… Madonna’s return with Confessions II completely exceeded my expectations. I was expecting another great dance record, but what surprised me most was how vulnerable she is. beneath all the production, there’s a real sense of reflection and acceptance that makes some of these songs hit much harder than I expected. after spending most of last n

new music from ⟢ Charli xcx, Phoebe Bridgers, Ryan Beatty, Steve Lacy / SZA, beabadoobee, Katy Perry, Madeon, Carly Rae Jepsen, WILLOW… this is one of the most stacked weeks we’ve had all year. Ryan Beatty released his new album ‘Sweet Fortune’. sonically it picks up where ‘Calico’ left off, but the production feels much bolder and more expansive. i really loved how the writing centers around love, vulnerability, and the fear of losing someone. definitely an album that’s goin

new music from ⟢ Steve Lacy, Madonna, Malcolm Todd, horsegiirL, Joji, Tinashe, Ellie Goulding, Kelela.. Steve Lacy’s new single “the feeling” is funky, psychedelic, and a little understated instrumentally, but there’s so much emotion packed into it. i’ve been replaying ‘Gemini Rights’ a lot lately, and this feels like the perfect next step. if this is any indication of what we’re getting in July, we’re in for a really good summer. and if you want more Lacy, he also shows up o

Ariana Grande officially kicked off her petal era with “hate that i made you love me” and i really love her tone on this. it feels more mature and lived-in, and sonically it fits the aesthetic of the album so well for me. excited to sit with the rest of this project and hoping for more rnb. also was really surprised to see we’re getting a second album from WILLOW this year ‘petal rock black’ was already one of my favorite albums this year. her first single “Talk On The Hill”

Ariana Grande surprise released the 10 year anniversary edition of ‘Dangerous Woman’ with “Knew Better Part Two” officially getting released after floating around online for years. i love the updated version she put together for this release, it feels nostalgic while still adding something new to the era instead of just reuploading the album again. still really enjoying where Charli is heading with this new era. i love this more laid back sound from her, it’s somehow calming

Drake released three different projects last night, so i’m still sitting with all of them, but “Fortworth,” “Little Birdie,” “Stuck,” and “Prioritizing” were some immediate standouts on first listen. also really loved the new releases from Tove Lo, Dua Saleh, GIVEŌN, Rostam + Clairo, Nick Hakim, ANOTR, Shakira + Burna Boy, and Kaleena Zanders. and of course Gaga finally released the MAYHEM REQUIEM live album through Apple Music.. if you don’t have Apple Music, definitely watc

Kelela might have my favorite release of the week with her new single “linknb”. these first two songs from her upcoming album have been incredible so far and she somehow keeps refining her sound without losing what makes her music feel so immersive. it sounds futuristic, emotional, and a little cold.. it’s everything i love about her music. Charli xcx also dropped her new song “Rock Music” and it sounds like something that would work in an album tracklist but not a lead singl
