Mac DeMarco: Salad Days review

The second full-length album from Indie Prince, Mac DeMarco demonstrated every aspect of his previously witnessed brilliance, while expanding his discography with diversity and personality.  Following his shaky debut on Rock And Roll Night Club (2012) a predecessor to a much more direct and polished 2 (2013), DeMarco had set his expectations high for Salad Days. Indeed, these expectations were met and exceeded, developing into … Continue reading Mac DeMarco: Salad Days review

Big Thief: U.F.O.F. review

Big Thief’s third full length album U.F.O.F presents as an astonishingly original LP containing a new and fresh taste of folk rock in every track. Following the release of the critically acclaimed Masterpiece (2016), and Capacity (2017), the band has discovered a whole new arena of thought, delving deep into a misty and cathartic masterpiece of folk music.

Tyga: Legendary review

2018 was a great year for Tyga, an artist who had seemingly descended into irrelevancy. Indeed, with his hit single ‘Taste’ featuring Offset, as well as ‘Dip’, Tyga re-emerged into the mainstream media, with many considering him the biggest comeback of 2018 (unless you are Soulja Boy of course). With his new album Legendary, Tyga presents an album with bass-heavy club bangers, featuring numerous significant … Continue reading Tyga: Legendary review

Despite it serving a as bold attempt … Continue reading Logic: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind review

Denzel Curry: Zuu review

In 2018, Denzel Curry released the innovative album TA1300, a collection of songs split into three distinct sections: ‘light’, ‘grey’ and ‘dark’. The album excellently executed this concept, delving deep into Denzel’s inner emotions and presenting an often dark, moody vibe. Has Zuu managed to continue Denzel’s ascension to stardom? Zuu is a clear departure from the style present in TA1300. While TA1300 was a … Continue reading Denzel Curry: Zuu review
