Top-tier Album

After Hours is an album which contains 14 songs (four were released as singles) and it's released in 2020. After Hours is an album by The weeknd, who is a canadian singer and songwriter. Album has done well worldwide, and the album has been on top places in twenty other countries. The weeknd is a R&B-musician, and this album is his fourth one. So the album genre is R&B. I chose this album because I wanted to listen to some new albums, and this was recommended in a podcast.

The songs have a good vibe in the album and melody and instruments were well used in the album. Instruments that I recognized on the album were some kind of keyboard and drums. They were the main ones. If I'm honest, I haven't listened to any other songs by him except Blinding lights and Starboy, and blinding lights was easily the best song in this album. So the artist is kinda new for me. But i think i will listen to him more. Songs are about promiscuity, overindulgence, and self-loathing. There were points where he talked about overindulgence. Just some points where he talked about money etc.

After all, the album is a good one, the podcast presenter was not wrong about this album, not my favourite one, but solid 8.5 out of 10.

Energetic music from young boy

Kuva
I’m reviewing Robin Packalens first record. Robin is Finnish pop-artist. He started making music in the year 2012 when he was only 13 years old. He blew up pretty soon and got a lot of attention especially from young girls. His artist name was just Robin. He made five albums and in the year 2017 he went for a break from music. He made a comeback in the year 2019 singing his new song “I’ll Be With You” in Emma-gaala. Before the break he sang in finnish but nowadays he sings in english and is trying to get international popularity. He also changed his artist name to Robin Packalen. I chose to review this record because I like it a lot and it has been very important to me because I listened to it almost every day when I was 8-9 years old. I liked and I still like the songs because they are super energetic and the lyrics are kind of relatable. Songs are most likely about normal teenagers' lives, friends and crushing for example. Almost every song has a very good vibe and they're ea...

Sempiternal - screams for help

Kuva
✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ The album Sempiternal (published in 2013)  is british rock band Bring Me the Horizon’s fourth album. Such as the previous albums, this one is very typical of the band’s style - the metalcore and post-hardcore genre keeps going just like it has done before. But unlike it’s ancestors, Sempiternal has few lighter and more emotional songs, such as the final track called “ Deathbeds ”, which is probably one of my favourite tracks on this album. It’s a great contrast to the band’s original style of making music and gives such an emotional and fragile ending to the whole album. According to Geniuslyrics (https://genius.com/ ) the whole album got it’s main themes from the band’s lead singer's Oliver Sykes's mental health problems and abuse of drugs and alcohol. For example the album's opening track, called “ Can You Feel the Heart '' and the tenth track “ Seen It All before ” are pretty obvious about their subjects. The lyrics are about asking forgiveness and the ...

There’s a ‘Fine Line’ Between Love and Hate

Kuva
Hi everyone! Today I’m going to write a record review of Harry Styles’ second solo album called “Fine Line”.  Harry Edward Styles is a British singer and songwriter. His musical career began back in 2010 when he participated in a British music competition The X Factor. He used to be a part of a boyband One Direction until 2015 when the members decided to focus on their solo careers. Styles released his sophomore album “Fine Line”, a collection of 12 tracks and a mixture of genres such as pop and rock on 13th December 2019. It holds beautiful and emotional tracks not forgetting the compelling and upbeat ones.   It seems to me that the album is mainly about relationships and emotions. In my experience “Fine Line” which has the same name as the album itself, “Lights Up”, “Golden” and “To Be So Lonely” are the finest songs on the album. The horns at the end of the song “Fine Line” give me chills every single time I listen to it even though I have listened to it hundreds of ti...
