3/5

Fun

How did I not know about this band? I’m sure if I had discovered them in 2011 I would have been obsessed. As it is it has a nostalgic sound without me ever having heard them before.

The Notorious B.I.G.

Some classics here. Fun vocals and bluesy instrumentation.

Not really my thing

The monologue was not my fave. But his voice is smooth and funky. He was definitely ahead of his time. Just wish the album was longer.

Ray Of Light

Madonna

There are some songs here that I will be listening to again. But there are also some songs that border on outdated and a little culturally appropriated.
