Princess Nokia ha fully embraced her alt-rock persona and uses it with great effectiveness on her latest, i love you but this is goodbye.

With Soul,PRESENT, Q directly takes inspiration from the likes of Prince, Climaxx and Terrance Trent D'arby and executes with earnestness.

Olivia Rodrigo's Sour, while earnest in its teen angst, doesn't resonate with me as it will with a much younger, less experienced audience.

With the latest in their "The Book of Us" series, Day6 solidifies its status as a competent pop-rock band.
