Reviews
Here’s where I post all of my album reviews.
Fresh Tunes
All my thoughts on the new releases I’ve been getting my teeth into.
- Detach the hype of ‘Prelude To Ecstasy’ and enjoy The Last Dinner Party for who they are.
- On ‘That! Feels Good!’, Jessie Ware demands that you seek pleasure in your life.
- ‘Ocean Blvd’ takes the world of Lana Del Rey to previously unimaginable territory.
- On ‘Desire’, Polachek wants to show you all the cool sounds she’s found.
- Despite a fresh new sound for The Murder Capital, ‘Gigi’s Recovery’ comes up empty.
- Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ is a deliriously self-affirming tapestry of black, queer expression.
Oldies
