The latest Mariah Carey album is really good, but not quite
as good as her last effort. The last one was the perfection of that modern
R&B sound she had been trying to perfect. This album is like her trying a
lot of different sounds, including gospel. The album is well produced as well
and MC’s lyrics are on point. Her singing is also really nice. Creatively it’s
a great album, but there’s not too much experimenting here. The album is a bit
long, but the guest spots are well used. They include Wale, Fabolous, Nas, and
Miguel. This is another win for her, and it may be enough to make fans forget
about those horrible albums she released in the early 2000s.
Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...
