Alessia Cara is a very young artist, and
honestly, she shows a lot of maturity on this album. The hit single Here is
very antisocial but hot. She really shines on just about every song. The
production is the low point, but its just below a 9/10. The single Here is amazing and creative. Four
Pink Walls is my favorite track, as is the next track, Wild Things. Vocally she
sounds young (I mean she is) but her singing is really good and the choruses
are great. The album has great depth and you donāt really feel like you needed
more songs here; its just right.
The Verdict: 9.2/10
This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85
