Album Review: “Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd” by Lana Del Rey
This is Lana Del Rey's ninth studio album (if you count "AKA Lizzy Grant" as her first.)

Album Reviews: Demi Lovato, Carly Rae Jepson, and Tove Lo
"HOLY FVCK" by Demi Lovato ★★★★★ Demi released "HOLY FVCK" in August 2022. It's absolutely different from her prior pop albums which leaned much further into hiphop. But traces of her new rock sound surprisingly takes me back to her debut days, like "Don't Forget" from her first album in 2008. Of course, much, much,… Continue reading Album Reviews: Demi Lovato, Carly Rae Jepson, and Tove Lo
“Midnights” by Taylor Swift | track by track review

Album review: “=” by Ed Sheeran
It started with "+", then "x", and then there was "÷" ... finally, the equation is complete with "="! One of the first album reviews I made on this blog was for 2017's "÷". Ed Sheeran started out in 2012 at the very start of his twenties with an indie-style that focused on dark issues… Continue reading Album review: “=” by Ed Sheeran
