Vinyl - Day 263
“Let It Be” The Beatles (1970)

“Let It Be” remains a timeless Beatles triumph — warm, weary, and spiritually charged. McCartney’s hopeful anthems shine, Lennon’s raw edges cut through, and Harrison glows quietly. A bittersweet, beautiful farewell to a legendary era.

Vinyl - Day 262
“Dance…Ya Know It” Bobby Brown (1989)

Dance!…Ya Know It! is a remix album that never lifts off. Safe, tame, and barely different from the originals, it feels more filler than fire. Not terrible, just forgettable — pure mid-era Bobby without the spark.

Vinyl - Day 261
“Aretha” Aretha Franklin (1986)

It’s a solid but mid effort, lifted by her soulful fire and a sleek ’80s sound. The songs don’t all soar, but the George Michael link-up adds real shine. Not her best, yet it kept her in the mix — and that continued relevance deserves full respect.

Vinyl - Day 260
“Impossible Princess” Kylie Minogue (1997)

“Impossible Princess” shows Kylie at her most adventurous—an indie-leaning, introspective detour full of cool textures and left-field charm. It’s bold, thoughtful, and still fun, proving she can shine far beyond pure pop sparkle.

Vinyl - Day 259
“Disco Nights” GQ (1978)

A funky masterclass in groove! GQ’s Disco Nights glides with silky vocals, irresistible bass, and late-night swagger. It’s the sound of mirrorballs, sharp suits, and endless rhythm—disco perfection that still gets the floor moving.

“Parallel Lines” Blondie (1978)

“Parallel Lines” is pure New York energy—slick, sexy, and unstoppable. Blondie nail that perfect mix of punk bite and pop sparkle. Debbie Harry oozes charisma, every song a cool rush of rebellion and rhythm.

Vinyl - Day 257
“Close To You” Carpenters (1970)

Karen’s voice on Close to You is pure magic—warm, silky, effortless. The whole album glows, and “We’ve Only Just Begun” is my absolute favourite, a timeless, emotional masterpiece that still hits straight to the heart.

“Forever, For Always, For Love”
Luther Vandross (1982)

Smooth,and effortlessly soulful, it’s Luther at his warmest. Every note feels like a hug you didn’t know you needed—lush arrangements, velvet vocals and pure devotion. A timeless slice of R&B comfort you can play on repeat.

Vinyl - Day 254
“Dookie” Green Day (1994)

“Dookie still hits like a burst of teenage truth — raw, loud, and oddly timeless. It’s messy in the best way, packed with hooks and heart, and captures that restless ‘90s energy that never really fades.”

Vinyl - Day 253
“Be Here Now” Oasis (1997)

A wild, bloated, glorious mess. Be Here Now isn’t perfect, but that’s what makes it special — loud, overstuffed, and full of attitude. It’s Oasis at their most excessive, but there’s still magic in the noise and swagger in every chorus.
November 7, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Vinyl - Day 252
“The Age Of Pleasure” Janelle Monae (2023)

Janelle Monae turns the vibe dial all the way up — The Age of Pleasure isn’t her peak, but it’s still a silky, sun-soaked groove. Confident, carefree, and full of warmth a good time from an artist who always knows how to make it feel good.

Vinyl - Day 251
“Men and Women” Simply (1987)

An uneven effort from Simply Red — Men and Women has its dull spots, but “The Right Thing” and “Infatuation” shine through with real groove and soul, showing flashes of the band’s charm even when the rest feels just okay.
November 5, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Vinyl - Day 250
“Headlines” Midnight Star (1986)

“Midas Touch” shines with irresistible groove and polished production, but the rest of Headlines struggles to hit the same gold standard. Slick yet predictable, it’s a solid ‘80s funk record that plays it a bit too safe for its own era.
November 4, 2025 at 5:11 PM
Vinyl - Day 249
“Band On The Run” Wings (1973)

A sun-soaked rush of melodies and adventure — every track feels like a burst of freedom. It’s heartfelt, bold, and timeless, the kind of record that makes you want to drive with the windows down and sing every word.
November 3, 2025 at 7:24 PM
Vinyl - Day 248
“Slicker Than Your Average” Craig David (2002)

Craig David’s Slicker Than Your Average is a confident, gleaming follow-up packed with slick beats, smooth vocals, and undeniable charisma. It’s the sound of a star refining his groove and proving he’s got both style and soul to spare.
November 2, 2025 at 5:56 PM
Vinyl - Day 247
“Like a Prayer” Madonna (1989)

A heavenly riot of faith, funk, and freedom — Like a Prayer turns confession into celebration. Madonna dances through gospel fire and electric pop glory, proving sin and salvation sound best on the same dance floor.
November 1, 2025 at 9:35 PM
Vinyl - Day 246
“Halloween OST” John Carpenter (1978)

John Carpenter’s Halloween soundtrack is a spine-tingling synth masterpiece—minimal, menacing, and unforgettable. Every note slashes through silence like a knife in the dark. The true heartbeat of horror.

Vinyl - Day 245
“Make It Big” Wham! (1984)

“Make It Big” bursts with infectious hooks and glossy ‘80s charm. Wham! deliver irresistible pop confidence, from “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” to “Careless Whisper.” A bold, joyous statement that defined the decade’s sound.

Vinyl - Day 244
“461 Ocean Boulevard” Eric Clapton (1974)

461 Ocean Blvd is a smooth, introspective blend of blues, rock, and reggae. Its laid-back tone and restraint mark a confident reinvention, though some may find it too mellow compared to his fiery earlier work. A refined, soulful comeback.
October 29, 2025 at 5:07 PM
Vinyl - Day 243
“Caribou” Elton John (1974)

Caribou shows Elton John’s flair but feels uneven — flashes of brilliance like “The Bitch Is Back” and “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” can’t fully hide the filler. A rushed album with moments of magic, but lacking the polish of his best work.
October 28, 2025 at 6:07 PM
Vinyl - Day 242
“The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” Chappell Roan (2023)

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess shines with confidence and chaos in the best way. Chapel Roan blends humor, heartbreak, and campy pop magic into something that feels bold, personal, and totally unforgettable.
