RRRomeo is not only an album dedicated to the grainy fallen world

ANIMAL is JO1’s most recent EP. Featuring 6 tracks, it incorporates elements of dance, rock, rap, hip-hop, electronica, trap, and R&B. The band endeavors to further diversify as it explores different genres and uses a musical formula borrowed from American musical influences. Due to this, the EP feels quite mixed to me as a listener. Overall, I would recommend select songs from this EP, such as “SAKURA” and “ANIMAL,” which offer a glimpse of what JO1 would be like if it had a more distinctive musical identity.

Miley Cyrus is now just Miley, and her tenth studio album, Bass Persuades, arrived on September 18th through Atlantic Records. The ten-track project follows 2025’s Something Beautiful with a new name, a danceable pulse, and a heart set firmly on love. Across roughly 38 minutes, it plays like a love story told from the first spark to the quiet aftermath, and it holds together better than most albums of its size.

Tinashe released her debut studio album, Aquarius, on October 3rd, 12 years ago. In the years since, she’s pioneered a wave of pop that blends hip-hop, rap, and electronic music. Some of her most popular hits, like “2 On,” “All My Friends,” “Me So Bad,” and “Nasty,” have become classics, regarded as 2010s and 2020s pop anthems. More recently, “No Broke Boys,” her collaboration with DJ Disco Lines, became the biggest hit of her career and set the stage for her latest album – her eighth – Popstar.

The second half of this gets real unhinged. And honestly, that’s valid. BTS are unhinged individuals as well; they’d be proud.

South Korean boy group, Cortis, returned on May 4th with their second EP, GREENGREEN, which is the six-track follow-up to their 2025 EP, COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES. Their debut project introduced a group that seemed much more interested in playing around than settling into one polished sound, and GREENGREEN doesn’t abandon that instinct. If anything,
