The next album retrospective is "Short n' Sweet" by Sabrina Carpenter.

Short n' Sweet is the sixth studio album by American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It was released on August 23, 2024, by Island Records. Primarily a dance-pop record, Short n' Sweet was produced by Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, Ian Kirkpatrick, and Jack Antonoff. The album explores Carpenter's love life and her perspectives on 2020s dating. Its title is a reference to the emotional impact of her shortest romantic relationships, as well as her short stature and the album's brief runtime. She stated that Short n' Sweet is her second "big girl" album where she has had complete creative control of her music starting from Emails I Can't Send (2022), her first album with Island Records. Two singles, "Espresso" and "Please Please Please", preceded the album's release; both topped the Billboard Global 200 chart and exposed Carpenter to wider commercial success. The two also marked her first number-ones on the UK Singles Chart and the latter her first in the US Billboard Hot 100. The third single, "Taste", peaked at number one in the UK and number two in the US. Short n' Sweet topped the record charts in 18 countries and received certifications in 10 nations. "Bed Chem" and "Juno" were released as the fourth and fifth singles. To support the album, Carpenter embarked on the Short n' Sweet Tour, the first arena tour of her career, in September 2024. Upon release, Short n' Sweet received critical acclaim from music critics, who praised the confidence of the lyrics and the music's enjoyability, although some criticized the songwriting as serviceable and low-risk. Short n' Sweet and its tracks received six nominations at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, and won for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Espresso". Carpenter became one of the only fifteen artists in history to receive nominations in all four main General Field categories in a single night. She also released a deluxe edition of the album including a duet version of "Please Please Please" with Dolly Parton and "Busy Woman".

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
