Jess Glyne - I Cry When I Laugh

When I first saw the title of the album, I actually felt inclined to listen. I can totally relate to the title. I like what Jesse Glynne with this album. It was very empathizing and encouraging. She also has a great voice and range. She has a variety of sounds in this album. I noticed that she included a lot of dance music in her album. Im not sure if it would be considered “electronic” or “deep house”. Regardless of the genre, I like her music.

Tiara Thomas - Up In Smoke

“Up in Smoke” is a great project. Tiara is very talented and I love her flow. This EP is better than I expected it would be. I havent heard anything from Tiara Thomas since Her feature on Wale’s “Bad”. I'm sure Tiara’s Fans will greatly appreciate the EP. Tiara made her music very personal by including songs like “Nikki” where she talks about a broken-hearted girl. It does seem like she kept all of her music to the minimum. I feel like she could do more with her voice. Inevitably, I really liked this EP.

Teedra Moses - Cognac and Conversation

Teedra Moses has a beautiful voice! I feel like she really took her time with creating her music and didn’t just throw things together. Currently, music doesn’t hold very much substance in my opinion. This album held an abundance of depth. I applaud Moses for that because depth is what many people look for when listening to R&B. I think Teedra Moses did a great job in displaying quality music.
