The Weeknd – Echoes Of Silence

The Weeknd - Echoes Of Silence

By Milen Jonas

There’s something hauntingly sincere about The Weekend, real name Abel Tesfaye. Raw emotions are generally hard to portray musically in our digitalised day and age. But the young Canadian singer/producer continues to do this with incredible flair in his latest free album, the last in a critically acclaimed downloadable trilogy.

Bruno Mars – Koko, London

Take some squeaky clean pop vocals, throw in some guitar riffs and a membership to Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club and you end up with the chart topping artist that is Bruno Mars.

Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty

It is time – finally the long awaited album from Big Boi is here. Otherwise known as the less extroverted half of the Atlanta based hip hop duo and Grammy award winning super group Outkast, Big Boi is known to stay true to the art of Hip hop and the streets that made him.

The release of his first solo album was pushed back so many times, many wondered if it was ever going to grace the shelves of any record stores. But the son of Chico Dusty was so adamant to share his vision of bringing back good music, that he simply switched to another label in order to get the full backing he felt the album needed. … Continue Reading
