Chromakopia by Tyler, The Creator: Chromakopia is Tyler’s most personal album to this date. On October 28, 2025 Chromokopia, a new beautifully crafted addition to Tyler’s discography, was released to streaming platforms. Tyler’s new album touches on personal and sensitive themes, such as fatherhood, unexpected pregnancies, the finding of one’s true purpose, growth,and the passing of time. Chromakopia has both hard-hitting and melodic cuts, with “Sticky” being a stand-out in the hard-hitting lane.

Songs of a Lost World by The Cure: A beautifully mournful ride through Robert Smith’s mind after a 16 year hiatus. On the 1st of November, 2024, Songs of a Lost World was finally released, capturing the attention of old The Cure enjoyers and many new fans. I think it is safe to say that Robert Smith has not lost one bit of what first made The Cure popular; beautiful song-writing, great abstract and heart-wrenching lyrics, and amazingly unique vocals. While this album has many slow cuts, adding to the mournfulness of its lyrical themes, there are many energetic and strong tracks as well. The energetic tracks can be attributed to drummer, Jason Cooper, and bassist, Simon Gallup,who both are great musicians that add the energy and force to tracks such as, “A Fragile Thing.” Songs of a Lost World is a greatly strong comeback for this legendary band, and it is a must-listen for any music fans in 2024.
Brat by Charlie XCX: On June 7, 2024, Charlie XCX finally released her extensively hyped album, Brat. This album pushes the boundaries of pop music, with its bold production choices and distinctive vocals. Charlie’s new album has great synth pop tracks filled with energetic production and cutting edge sounds. Moreover, Brat also explores various themes of personal growth, rebellion, and self-esteem. Some highlight songs of this project include “B2b,” “Rewind,” and the biggest song of the album, “Apple.” Brat is unique in many ways and it is filled with bangers from start to finish.
