Any decent music? We review the reviews. You get the final word

Megan Thee Stallion  Megan

Megan is a supremely charismatic person and rapper, but MEGAN makes way for too much seriousness, as if she needed to prove herself after the Nicki debacle earlier this year Northern Transmissions

Megan Thee Stallion  Megan

The feelgood fun of Hot Girl Summer and WAP has been replaced by icy tales of false friends, adultery and incessant betrayal in a broadly humourless, navel-gazing album The Guardian

Megan Thee Stallion  Megan

The Texas rap star’s new album has something for every type of Megan Thee Stallion fan—and the strain of catering to the masses has begun to crowd out the goofy charm of her best music Pitchfork

Megan Thee Stallion  Megan

Free from Good News’ and Traumazine’s burden of rewriting the narrative around her, Megan could benefit from time and space to rest, play, live, and further define who she is for herself out of the public eye — so she can make stronger choices on wax. Regardless, Megan is a vibrant coronation for her hottest summer yet Rolling Stone

Megan Thee Stallion  Megan

A confident, cohesive third album that colourfully showcases all aspects of the rapper’s identity and personality NME

Camila Cabello  C,XOXO

It sounds like it's been purchased from other talents rather than being curated and homegrown by Cabello and her team. You gotta hand it to her for trying though, even more so for the fact that it nearly, just nearly, works Exclaim

Loma  How Will I Live Without a Body?

As a whole, How Will I Live Without a Body? will neither wow the listener nor will it disappoint and it includes some alluring material with a few tasty morsels that will provide a marvelously whimsical late-night headphone excursion Under The Radar

Mabe Fratti  Sentir Que No Sabes

Lauded by musicians and producers from Chris Cortano to Oneohtrix Point Never to Ben Howard, it seems there’s something in Fratti’s work – whether that’s glossy atonals, chiptune motifs, or dark, groovy basslines – for everyone The Line Of Best Fit

Dirty Three  Love Changes Everything

On its first album in 12 years, the veteran instrumental trio discovers a newfound spontaneity, summoning some of the most beautiful and emotional work of the group’s career Pitchfork

Bonny Light Horseman  Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free

Modern folk trio branch out into Americana on life-improving, morale-restoring, expansive third albu musicOMH

Johnny Cash  Songwriter

A meticulously-produced collection of what is likely to become Cash classics Clash

Hiatus Kaiyote  Love Heart Cheat Code

The Melbourne quartet’s fourth album is irrepressibly joyous and alluringly weird The FT

Johnny Cash  Songwriter

This album has been lovingly produced and arranged and it is a Johnny Cash album. Songwriter comes from a transitional time for Cash and is important to hear, something between his vastly underrated Mercury albums and his Rubin records. And, really, the bottom line is it is a new Johnny Cash album Spill Magazine

Camila Cabello  C,XOXO

To its credit, there are some interesting ideas on C, XOXO. “pretty when i cry” is the best song on the record simply because of its normality — no piano cuts, awkward interludes, gibberish or autotune, it’s a solid Afrobeats number that interpolates some house elements later on Northern Transmissions

Camila Cabello  C,XOXO

The pop star’s fourth studio album is remarkably apathetic and lacks the charisma needed to leave any kind of worthwhile impression Paste Magazine
