Back at the point, The Weeknd is bringing a new path to music industry.

In March, Abel brought old and unknown popularly rhythms on his brand new work, ‘After Hours’. 

Showing some sadness and melancholy in his songs, he manage some powerfulness and losses. 

Opening his album with ‘Alone Again’, he proves that he didn’t came to play. 

A mark to ‘Escape From LA’, a trap and nightsong well-made.

‘Heartless’ shows some apathyness over his lover, then ‘Faith’ comes and he asks if he OD’s, will she OD with him? This song especifically shows the melancholy side and the persona of what Abel is musically. He seems like other person in this song aparently, singing with magnificent falsettos and the instrumentals growing over his voice. He seems that’s not afraid of death if his lover is over him to give love and careness; 

‘Blinding Lights’, such a song that A-ha would make in the 80′s. It seems like a inspiration. ‘In Your Eyes’ has some good elements, the sax is well-managed. 

‘Save Your Tears’ shows some ‘Starboy’ elements, a right tempo for the album, to break the ice. It shows some elements of ‘Secrets’ made by him. 

‘After Hours’ the title-track, shows some sorrow and agony on his vocals, the instrumentals especifically in the almost-half of the song is sick and managed with greatness.

In the end of the album, ‘Until I Bleed Out’ shows some raging Abel, wanting ‘to cut out his dreams’ (his lover), and wanting to wake up of this nightmare, he seems lost in his alter-ego. 

Abel have a good story to tell to you if you haven’t listen to his new masterpiece, well-made and bizarre.

A Melodrama review.

Lorde in 2017 proved us that she didn’t came to stay in the side of the industry. When she made ‘Melodrama’, her most recent record, she made with the sad & beautiness of her mind. 

In the first call of the album, she show us that her ‘Green Light’ single is powerful, a full electro-pop song with decapitating lyrics. Trying to get off of her break with her ex. Then ‘Sober’ comes on and tells the story of a party, full of psychosis and a vicious pitch of ‘Night, midnight, I lose my mind’. Then it breaks on the edge of the bridge and brings us back to reality in the end of the song. 

A mark to ‘The Louvre’ and ‘Supercut’ that were the most happiest and lovesongs in this record. A dream of being on the back of Louvre’s with her lover, Lorde tells a story in every song. 

Darkness and sorrow in ‘Liability’, ‘Hard Feelings’ and ‘Sober II (Melodrama)’ (especially this one), Ella tells melancholic stories at her side. 

Finalizing the album with ‘Perfect Places’, it’s a Bowie anthem. She’s telling that her heroes are fading, and ‘what the fuck are perfect places anyway?’ and these words never seem so familiar to us

Lorde is so sensitive and brave on this one that shes unique on what she does. 

YOU SHOULD LISTEN: Hard Feelings, The Louvre and Sober.

In her debut, Sawayama’s is powerful. 

A review of SAWAYAMA by Rina Sawayama:

Showing that she didn’t came to play (but playing anyway with this production), Rina has identity and charisma. 

Songs like ‘Fuck This World’ and ‘STFU!’ makes your world, into hers. Making the production unbelievable and happy with a sad touch and reflexive, Sawayama’s is back (since her song ‘Cherry’ in 2018), and with fire in her eyes. 

‘Snakeskin’ makes you feel her revenge. ‘XS’ about capitalism that makes you feel that isn’t about it, you could dance with this song. A mark to ‘Bad Friend’ it is given. It’s the peak of the album, but there is also songs that shows her own identity and ambitiousness.

SAWAYAMA is a album of genres. A album that you could dance and cry on the dance floor. She didn’t came to agree with the industry but to agree with herself.

A review for Rare (Deluxe) by Selena Gomez:

In her best body of art, Gomez opens her mind and songs being independent and versatile. 

Songs like ‘Souvenir’ and ‘Vulnerable’ makes the listener enchanted with the production. Also songs like ‘Cut You Off’ and ‘Ring’ turns like a spin-off/filler on the album. 

With her most beautiful and opened piece of art, Gomez turns the dance-floor into her own thing again. Reflexive and her best album, Rare is showing the maturity of Selena’s into years of turbulance and sadness.
