MUSIC REVIEWS

Drake’s 8th solo album, ‘For The All Dogs’, is seen as a make-or-break moment in the artist’s career. The 23-song album includes several notable features, but it suffers from incoherent narratives, seen as a “rough listen” by critics. Standout tracks like ‘First Person Shooter’, ‘8am in Charlotte’, ‘Calling For You’, and ‘Drew a Picasso’ showcased guest artists like J. Cole and 21 Savage and hinted at Drake’s past appeal. However, many songs seemed forgettable, earning the album a rating of 5/10.

Chris Brown has unexpectedly announced that his much-awaited album, 11:11, will be released a day early on November 10. The surprise news, shared via Instagram, sparked excitement among fans. The album features songs like “Stutter,” featuring romantic lyrics and a slow jam sound, “Nightmares,” a collaboration with Byron Messia, “Summer Too Hot,” characterized by silky vocals, “Angel Numbers / Ten Toes,” a resilient and inspiring track, and “Press Me,” a commercial R&B record with excellent tempo and catchy chorus.
