Somebody should really tell me how to quit this album. I never listen to The War on Drugs before but this album seriously makes me want to explore their discography. Well, at least after I’m done with this one. How the music is pretty much influenced by the 80s and how old-school yet modern this album sounds are my top reasons why A Deeper Understanding won me over. I think I gotta give Strangest Thing—my favorite number—another spin right now.

ZOMBIE CHANG – WE SHOULD KISS

I’m gonna be honest: I’ve heard better than this from her. But still, this one is still a hella catchy tune and she looks so fabulous in the promotional video—as expected from the currently coolest girl in the Japanese music scene. Coincidentally I listened to some Mitch Murder before WE SHOULD KISS dropped and somehow it kinda reminds me of the latter but in a quirkier and cooler way.

 Keyakizaka46 – Masshiro na Mono wa Yogoshitaku Naru

I once listened to their solid debut single, Silent Majority, and was impressed. Despite that, I never really try to keep track of them as I’m really tired of anything that has to do with 48/46 groups. Silent Majority was one-time greatness, as I thought. But wow was I wrong. Sekai ni wa Aishikanai, Futari Saison (particularly this one), and Fukyowaon proved me wrong, even some of their coupling songs.
 
Masshiro na Mono wa Yogoshitaku Naru served as a decent first album. It's too lengthy for my liking, but still worth listening to as you can find gems here and there. They undoubtedly have the nicest vocals and best harmonization compare to their sister groups with edgier, cooler and darker lyrics—if those things sound appealing to you.

 Lana Del Rey – Lust For Life
 

This is probably her happiest record to date. And by happiest, it either means good or bad. It’s nice to see Lana exploring things she hasn’t done before but as for me personally, it was her dark works that captivated me in the first place. Nevertheless, Lana’s kind of happy still has this tinge of sadness in it, like 13 Beaches. At first, I thought this album rings a bell to Born to Die but the more I listen to it, the more I get this feeling that Lust for Life’s actually summarised her previous works but with a bigger theme. I do think some of the tracks are quite boring, maybe because it's too long, but overall it was a pleasant experience.
