Full Time Job Album ∙ Worldwide ∙ 2024 Phyno With   Full Time Job , seasoned Nigerian MC Phyno resumes his role as cultural flag-bearer and dons the air of elder statesman. Wielding intergenerational and cross-cultural collaborations, Phyno tasks himself with the mission of a global ambassador. At the heart of this fifth studio album is both an unyielding dedication to the craft and a desire to punctuate moments of gratitude, joy, love, and accomplishment with authentic cultural expression. As the project traverses these and other emotions, the artist christened Chibuzo Nelson Azubuike highlights his sonic inventiveness through the album’s invitees. Building on the Afroswing explorations of yesteryear, Phyno reaches across the pond for an array of styles served up by Chip, ArrDee, and the collective NSG. Closer to home, frequent collaborator Flavour joins the homegrown contingent of Cheque, FAVE, Burna Boy, and Johnny Drille in crafting sounds drawn from across the Afrobeats songbo...

Lovin’ You

Image
Lovin’ You Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Richard Ashcroft For an artist who hadn’t released a new album of original material in seven years, Richard Ashcroft couldn’t have asked for a better reintroduction to the masses than opening for his old mates Oasis on their 2025 reunion-tour stadium takeover. But the former Verve singer didn’t just turn up to peddle ’90s nostalgia. He opened his sets with “ Lover ,” a joyous, R&B-inspired bop that sets the uplifting, genre-bending tone for  Lovin’ You , a collection of life-affirming anthems, unabashedly romantic serenades, and playful dance detours that showcase Britpop ’s most soulful voice in all its ageless wonder. It’s the work of a rock veteran who’s got an ear tuned in to the contemporary pop conversation: “ I’m a Rebel ” is a slinky, French touched workout (courtesy of guest collaborator Mirwais ) that sees the singer push his falsetto to ecstatic new heights, while the title track suggests his stormy solo signature “ A Song for...

The Life of a Showgirl (Track by Track Version)

The Life of a Showgirl (Track by Track Version) Album ∙ Pop ∙ 2025 Taylor Swift Listen to Taylor Swift break down every track on The Life of a Showgirl. The Confident Curtain Call: An Examination of Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl , emerges as a dazzling, assertive, and meticulously crafted pop record, a celebratory pivot from the introspective melancholy of its predecessor, The Tortured Poets Department . The accompanying " Track by Track Version" serves not merely as an aural guide, but as a deeper excavation into the artist’s mind, revealing the intentionality and thematic architecture beneath the album’s vibrant, synth-drenched surface. This collection of songs, produced primarily alongside Max Martin and Shellback , is an ode to finding contentment, owning one’s narrative, and embracing the theatricality of a highly publicized life. It is the sound of an artist stepping into the spotlight of her...

Wishbone

Image
Wishbone Album ∙ Pop ∙ 2025 Conan Gray When Conan Gray announced the arrival of his fourth studio album  Wishbone , he shared in a statement that he wrote the album in secret. While touring his 2024 album  Found Heaven , he would finish shows and sketch demos with zero stakes attached. He showed the songs to Dan Nigro, who helped Gray record his first album,  Kid Krow , way back in 2020. The tracks, created with the sort of vulnerability only achievable when writing without an audience in mind, ended up becoming the bones of  Wishbone , Gray’s cathartic exploration of his foray into adulthood. With his signature blend of beautiful vocals and earworm melodies, Gray opens up his diary to sing about the way romance has changed his life—for better and for worse. The powerful “This Song” finds Gray admitting that it’s easier for him to sing about love for his unspecified partner than it is to utter the words face to face. “Romeo,” on the other hand, begins with a playful ...

Ushuaïa Ibiza: Sept 12, 2025 (DJ Mix) Album ∙ Dance ∙ 2025 Calvin Harris An exhilarating set of hands-in-the-air hits from Scotland’s superstar DJ. The Art of the Open-Air Anthem : Analyzing Calvin Harris’s Ushuaïa Ibiza : Sept 12, 2025 (DJ Mix) Calvin Harris’s residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza is not merely a series of performances; it is an annual institution that defines the soundscape of the Balearic summer .

Infinite

  Infinite Album ∙ Hip-Hop/Rap ∙ 2025 Mobb Deep In hip-hop’s more than five-decade history, Queensbridge stands firmly as one of the genre’s foundational, load-bearing pillars. The same outer-borough NYC locale where MC Shan laid down the rap gauntlet with his seminal single “ The Bridge ” got reinforced further in the 1990s and 2000s by two more sons of the namesake housing development, Havoc and Prodigy . Their run as Mobb Deep hit its stride with 1995’s  The Infamous , with the pair remaining a force to be reckoned with both lyrically and musically for another two decades. Were it not for Prodigy’s untimely and tragic passing in 2017, it stands to reason that they’d still be repping QB as a unit today, something the release of  Infinite  demonstrates. More than a decade after their presumed swan song, the double-disc  The Infamous Mobb Deep , this posthumous collaboration not only honors the duo’s legacy but aims to advance what they cultivated as an enduri...

Brown Sugar

Brown Sugar Album ∙ R&B/Soul ∙ 1995 D'Angelo D’Angelo is a kaleidoscope of towering musicians: the founding father of neo-soul , the black Messiah , a tabloid star. But way back when he released  Brown Sugar , his 1995 debut, he was a 20-year-old kid who'd spent several years barricaded in his bedroom in his mom’s house in Virginia with the music that mattered most to him: Marvin Gaye , Stevie Wonder , Prince , A Tribe Called Quest . And then he came up with  Brown Sugar , a crazy haze of sound that points in a dozen different directions but stays in tight orbit around him: a new voice, a genius, a fan, and a geek. The album enlists a then-revolutionary hybrid of modern studio tech and defective analog cast-offs. And when the computer crashed in the tiny New Jersey studio where he was recording one day, D’Angelo killed 20 minutes by pounding out some vamped keyboard chords, coproducer Ali Shaheed Muhammad programmed a beat, and then they stared at each other in shock: T...

Anela

Anela Album ∙ Alternative ∙ 2025 Belén Aguilera Aguilera’s Anela Belén Aguilera’s 2025 album, Anela, is a pivotal work that elevates her artistry from Spanish electro-pop phenomenon to a singular voice in conceptual, experimental pop. The album is far more than a collection of songs; it is a meticulously constructed, immersive universe, a self-contained refuge born from a profound journey of introspection and transformation. The title itself is an acronym—Aunque No Exista La Arcadia (Although the Arcadia Does Not Exist)—a philosophical statement that encapsulates the album's core theme: true happiness is not found in the search for a perfect, idyllic world, but in the radical act of creating and inhabiting one's own truth in the here and now, regardless of external chaos. Anela is the sound of an artist confronting her fears, embracing her inner "mutants," and finding vocational peace through relentless intuition. The album's conceptual strength lies in its ...

TEN: The Story Goes On

TEN: The Story Goes On Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025 TWICE A decade after their debut into the K-pop scene, girl group TWICE celebrated their resilience with  TEN: The Story Goes On . While the 10-track album is mostly composed of solo tracks from the JYP Entertainment group’s nine members ( Nayeon , Jeongyeon , Momo , Sana , Jihyo , Mina , Dahyun , Chaeyoung , and Tzuyu ), it is tied together by lead single “ ME+YOU ,” a sentimental, ’90s-R&B-influenced track that expresses deep gratitude to their global fandom. TWICE is known for bubblegum pop, but  TEN: The Story Goes On ’s solo songs demonstrate the ways in which the group has increasingly reached beyond that style. In Jeongyeon’s “ FIX A DRINK ,” the singer embraces country music to nurse a broken heart, while Chaeyoung’s “ IN MY ROOM ” uses dreamy UK garage to rhapsodize the freedom of being in one’s own personal space. Dahyun’s “ CHESS ” samples Beethoven’s “Für Elise” for its story of learned manipulation. KPop Demon Hu...
