GNX
While ‘Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers’ saw Kendrick retreat into himself, interrogating his relationships with religion, family, and the world over a sprawling hour and 20 minutes, ‘GNX’ instead cleaves closer to ‘DAMN.’ in its catchy, explosive hooks and trimmed down runtime of just 45 minutes

Nobody Loves You More
It may have taken her nearly 40 years to go solo, but it was well worth the wait: Nobody Loves You More is some of her finest music yet, and while any of these songs would've been a standout with one of her other projects, it's all the sweeter that they're hers alone
