LP1FKA twigs

Rated 10/10

Oh, I already know this is going to be a 5. I’ve loved this album since it came out. One of the sexiest, most ethereally beautiful albums and music artists out there. Words can’t describe how much I love all these songs and their music videos.

Rated 8/10

Damn, I knew Carole King’s music before I knew it was Carole King hah! I feel like nearly every single song on this is well-known, which is wild. Solid album.

One of my favorite bands and albums before even getting this. But I’m excited to give it a 100/5 stars anyways.

…..and, yup, still as glorious as ever. Love them so much.

Literally the moment the first song started, I became mesmerized by the beats and Kendrick’s raw rap talent. Admittedly, some of the lyrics early on about women were not my favorite and almost put me off listening to the rest, but then I looked this up and learned that Kendrick is purposely telling a narrative about his complex life as a teenager and is open about the perspectives he held at the time (which he then challenges in a self-reflective way later on). It softened me and helped me experience the album as essentially a movie of his relationship with his life and how he is challenging his own narrative that wasn’t even his, but that he was influenced to have.

Honestly…I’m kind of in awe of his storytelling and vulnerability after listening to the whole thing.

What an artist. There is no doubt that Kendrick is one of a kind and is one of the best out there.

I feel like I’ve been transported to a roller rink in the 90s and am skating in circles with my friends while a bunch of flashing strobe lights are illuminating the whole place…

And I am HERE for it! Such fun energy.

I feel like I just listened to a college/coming-of-age movie soundtrack from the 80s. Or maybe a horror comedy with some of the songs. Fun, unique, upbeat energy.
