Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

4/5

lots to say about this. this should have been 2 separate albums honestly, vol 1 and 2 are so so different from each other (and made it long as fuck christ). her voice is absolutely insane (we knew this but was a good reminder. what a powerhouse voice). halfway through the 'thank you (dedication to fans)' really just? feels? so weird? its a song full of voicemails left for christina about how much they love her. it feels a bit. odd. ain’t no other man, welcome, candyman and hurt are my faves.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

i really enjoyed this! suprised its from the late 60s, it felt more modern than that for me. each song different but still couldnt single one out that i liked more. fun :)

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

so beautiful. listened to this all the way through twice, immediately after each other. wow. his voice sounded familiar then i realised this guy made the “big little lies” theme song. banger. loved this

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

5/5

first off let me say. fucking loved this. wow. i really love funk music it seems but this also was a strong rock album! second, this album isn't on tidal (current subscription) and wasn't on spotify either (not subscribed) so i had to resort to youtube. so it's likely that i won't listen to this again bc of the inconvenience. but this was an incredible album
