Critic – Jake's music reviews

My 5th favourite release of 2019.

Denzel Curry – ZUU. Denzel Curry is a rapper from Miami, Florida. After his beautifully conceptual and encapsulating 2018 masterpiece ‘TA13OO’, an album that has become a personal favourite of mine for its experimental soundscapes and intriguing narrative concept, (splitting the album into three acts: light, grey and dark) I have clung to Instagram forContinue reading “My 5th favourite release of 2019.”

My 10th – 6th favourite releases of the year.

Welcome to my picks for my 10th to 6th favourite releases of the year. Listed here are the releases that I enjoyed the most from this year, emphasis on the word ‘enjoyed’.

Updated post schedule (until end of year).

Hello all, apologies for my radio-silence over the past week, but I have been preparing the count down to my choice for release of the year!

Having two great EPs under her belt, the most recently released of the two, ‘Space Cadet’ being one of my favouriteContinue reading “Don’t you (forget about Bea).”

Weekly track round up (24th Nov).

Welcome to the first official weekly track round up! I will be giving my thoughts about some of the music released this week (week starting the 18th).

PlayThatBoiZay steps out of the dark with NOCTURNAL.

Florida rapper PlayThatBoiZay has recently released his new album NOCTURNAL, and whilst it can be slightly immature at points, it is a giant step in the right direction for the young rapper. PlayThatBoiZay is very new to the music scene, his first single being released as recently as 2018. That being said, he has managedContinue reading “PlayThatBoiZay steps out of the dark with NOCTURNAL.”
