BØRNS plays to his strengths on ‘Blue Madonna’

Grace Weissend | Tuesday, January 23, 2018

On Garrett Borns’ sophomore album as BØRNS, the indie pop artist sticks to what he knows. “Blue Madonna” is 12 tracks of airy, danceable, lustful pop music, and it’s exactly what one would expect from a BØRNS album in the best way. “Faded Heart” was the first bit of “Blue Madonna” to hit the airwaves

Robbie skates through a troubled life in ‘I, Tonya’

Grace Weissend | Friday, January 19, 2018

Tonya Harding is ready to tell the world how it all really went down. “I, Tonya” tells the true-life story of the former U.S. Olympic figure skater, culminating in the infamous Nancy Kerrigan knee-smashing incident.

Fergie certainly understood the pressure that comes with a ten-year break between albums, but rather than pushing too hard to impress or to prove her staying power, the Dutchess delivers an updated and innovative album for the Girlboss

Angus & Julia Stone repeat and clash on “Snow”

Grace Weissend | Thursday, September 21, 2017

If Angus & Julia Stone released anything on their new album “Snow,” it was an identity crisis. The newly released album, from the Australian sibling duo that created a lasting hit with their 2010 track “Big Jet Plane,” has significantly less bright spots and “hits” than it was expected to have.

The Script deals in disappointing cliche on ‘Freedom Child’

Grace Weissend | Tuesday, September 5, 2017

From the album art to the tracks themselves, The Script is simply trying too hard on their latest effort. The Irish band’s fifth studio album, “Freedom Child,” is ridden with cliches, piano overlays and intense drumming. The fourteen tracks feel almost never ending due to the lack of differentiation among them. Past The Script albums have
