Album Review: "Before I Forget" by The Kid LAROI

"Before I Forget" by The Kid LAROI album cover
Avid readers of this blog know that I adore Ms. Tate McRae. She has been featured many times on this blog from an album review, being a regular on my Hot 10 list and making my year end recap best albums of 2025 list for her latest project "So Close To What?". Why is Tate being mentioned in a review about The Kid LAROI? That is the question I know you are asking as you are reading this review. She is being mentioned because that is how I discovered him as an artist. I knew of Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard because of his smash hit collab with Justin Bieber "Stay" but the truth is I have never listened to the song and have no plans to do so to be completely honest. Also, I became even more aware of him because he entered a public relationship with one of my favourite current pop stars the aforementioned Tate McRae but I still never listened to any of his music. That is until he was featured on her latest album on the song "I Know Love" which if you checked out my review of that album was one of my favourite tracks. So now it is 2026 and Tate and Charlton has broken up and we have heard her side of the story so I figured I might as well listen to his latest project and to hear his side. So with that in mind let us see what he ahs in store for us with latest album titled "Before I Forget"!

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. Instantly I fell in love with the song and had to find out more about this new artist.

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...
