Republic US レコード& CD

Review: American artist Kid Cudi dropped his eighth studio long player Entergalactic on his own Wicked Awesome label. It is an accompaniment to an adult animated special of the same name in which he stars on Netflix. It is a record that finds him doing something rather different than before and features a lot of songs about love and relationships, but from an imaginary perspective given that he was single when he wrote them. He says he found the whole process incredibly exciting and the alt r&b that results sure has got fans excited.

Review: The fourth studio album from Canadian R&B pinup The Weeknd (released last March) was produced, in the main, by the artist himself. Previous collaborators like DaHeala, Illangelo, Max Martin, Metro Boomin and OPN also stepped up to give a hand and between them, the four singles 'Heartless', 'Blinding Lights', 'In Your Eyes,' and 'Save Your Tears' topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum making the album another hugely successful one. After Hours explores the themes of promiscuity, overindulgence and self-loathing which help to make it one of his finest to date.
