All Your Fault Pt. 1 from Bebe Rexha In All Your Fault Pt.1, Bebe Rexha establishes herself as a broady babe, full of attitude and grittiness. This album is her ode to girl power and ultimately a break-up manifesto. Her voice and lyrical ability are strong. And she shows her writing prowess in every song […]
Music Review: The Latest from Syd – “Fin”
Syd’s career was born and bred in the Odd Future collective around artists like Tyler, the Creator, Frank Ocean, and her brother Taco. Syd, aka Syd Tha Kid, released three albums with The Internet as their vocalist. But now we get to see her, just Syd, being Syd, and it’s half woman, half amazing. […]
Music Review: Kehlani – SexySweetSavage

She stays true to herself, while showing that she can collaborate with artists whose genre or overall sound is so far from her own.
