229: Mark Ambor (B)

Mark Ambor in tier list I’m not counting Hello World as an album. That’s arbitrary, but so it is. I like him, all around. He’s super consistent, there’s not really a bad song. There’s not really anything special about the music, but that’s okay. It’s fun and enjoyable and that’s what it’s trying to be.Continue reading “229: Mark Ambor (B)”

228: Gloria Estefan (C+)

Gloria Estefan in tier list I think I’m gonna go with a C+. In a lot of ways, I like her solo stuff more than her Miami Sound Machine stuff. In most ways, really. Instrumentation is usually better, higher highs, more interesting songwriting. What MSM does better is stay simple. They’ve got their albums atContinue reading “228: Gloria Estefan (C+)”

227: Miami Sound Machine (B-)

Miami Sound Machine in tier list I at first only saw Let It Loose, which is credited to MSM and Estefan as separate artists, and I figured I could combine this with Estefan. I quickly realized my mistake, so this’ll go in as its own artist, and I’ll be starting Estefan’s solo stuff in earnestContinue reading “227: Miami Sound Machine (B-)”

Back, More English!

I’ve been thinking about how I want to write this post, how I want to convert the thoughts and conversations I’ve already had about it into something coherent, and I’ve ultimately decided that less is more. Those thoughts and conversations were coherent enough for me when I had them, and they can be coherent enoughContinue reading “Back, More English!”

226: Remi Wolf (A)

Remi Wolf in tier list kinda slaps, not gonna lie. It’s super tightly produced and arranged, aesthetically textured pop. Which is good, because I’ve been looking forward to listening to her for a while. I’ve loved every single song I’ve heard her with a credit on. Photo ID with Dominic Fike (though that’s pretty thoroughlyContinue reading “226: Remi Wolf (A)”
