DDG Fits 22 Songs Into 59 Minutes on "HIT-A-THON (Deluxe)," and That's the Point

  DDG · HIT-A-THON (Deluxe) DDG Fits 22 Songs Into 59 Minutes on "HIT-A-THON (Deluxe)," and That's the Point The deluxe edition adds seven tracks and nineteen minutes to a record built for the scroll — and the new songs turn out to be the best argument for the whole thing. By Stephen Agorsor | October 9, 2026 | 7/10 Artist DDG Album HIT-A-THON (Deluxe) Label Epic Records Released October 9, 2026 Runtime 59 min Rating 7/10 HIT-A-THON (Deluxe) is 22 songs in 59 minutes and 20 seconds. That works out to an average of two minutes and forty-two seconds a track, and only two cuts — "ROUND & ROUND" at 4:23 and "BAY 2 DA YAK" at 3:26 — get past three and a half minutes. When it arrived on 25 September it was fifteen songs and a shade over forty minutes. The version out now adds seven tracks and roughly nineteen minutes of new music. Very little of that extra time is spent on anything longer than the hook needs. That isn't a complaint yet. DDG has spen...

Mud by Remi Wolf — The Album Where the Smile Comes Off

Image
  On her third album, Remi Wolf hides the sugar rush rather than leading with it, and the 43 minutes that result are her first record that behaves like an album instead of a packet of singles. Stephen Agorsor / 10 October 2026 / 5 min read Remi Wolf — Mud, released 9 October 2026. Cover art reproduced from the album’s own artwork. Tracklist 11 tracks · 43:55 1 Bottle 4:18 2 Champagne 3:31 3 Twiggy 3:29 4 Burn Me Blue 3:22 5 Jamie 5:06 6 Covered In Mud 3:51 7 Moon So High (Remi Wolf & John Mayer) 3:46 8 I Won't Cry 4:20 9 Wine Drunk 4:24 10 Guess 3:37 11 Yellow Rose 4:11 Release facts on Apple Music Two hands, ten muddy fingers, and a grin that has clearly decided not to care. The cover of Mud is a woman in a wood with her face painted in wet earth to the hairline, palms squashed against her own cheeks, smiling straight at the camera. The title is not a riddle waiting to be solved. It's a complexion. That's the whole argument of Remi Wolf's third album in one photog...

Long Life Living for a Lover Boy by Joshua Slone — The EP That Won't Say Its Own Name

Image
  Five songs and eighteen minutes that save the title for the last three, because Joshua Slone's EP is built on withholding — and withholding is the one bet a record this short can't hedge. Stephen Agorsor / 10 October 2026 / 4 min read Joshua Slone — Long Life Living for a Lover Boy, released 9 October 2026. Cover art reproduced from the album’s own artwork. Tracklist 5 tracks · 18:47 1 Are We Ever Gonna Work Out, Baby? 2:52 2 Morehead State 4:34 3 Indebted 4:18 4 Be My Guest 4:06 5 Long Life Living for a Lover Boy 2:57 Release facts on Apple Music Five songs. Eighteen minutes and forty-six seconds, by the durations Apple publishes. And a title that doesn't arrive until the 15:50 mark, in a song two minutes fifty-seven long. Long Life Living for a Lover Boy is Joshua Slone's third release in under a year, and its loudest decision is a piece of staging: the record is named for its closing track, and the closing track is the second-shortest thing on it. A cover you have...
