Ringo Starr’s ‘Zoom In’ is by no means groundbreaking, but remains fun listen

With a couple of gems, such as the lyrics of “Zoom In Zoom Out,” or the overall arrangement of “Teach Me To Tango,” Zoom In isn’t completely unlistenable — just an EP that will by no means go down in the history books.

Photo of the single "Thumbs" by Lucy Dacus

Lucy Dacus’ ‘Thumbs’ delivers devastating emotional storytelling

“Thumbs” is no longer a live show secret, but Dacus’ listeners are better off for it — the song’s lyrics warrant multiple listens for full appreciation of the artist’s storytelling ability.

Cover of Beautiful Mistakes, ft. Megan Thee Stallion

Maroon 5 and Megan Thee Stallion’s latest single “Beautiful Mistakes” isn’t beautiful, but it is a mistake

‘When You See Yourself’ is bland resurgence for Kings of Leon

While an upgrade from their previous streak of albums ranging from bad to abysmal, When You See Yourself is the sound of resignation from tired artists churning out new music long after they’ve run out of creative steam.

Photo of Zara Larsson's album "Poster Girl"

Zara Larsson’s ‘Poster Girl’ is glitzy, intoxicating bubblegum electropop

Photo of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard album

‘L.W.’ proves King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard can master microtonality a third time
