DAMAN^AUGUST/SEPTEMBER2019(^54) trying so hard to
come out from his
comfort zone.
Ed Sheeran is back
with his fourth full-
length release titled
“No. 6 Collaborations
Project.” As the
name suggests, the
record features guest
appearances from
the likes of 50 Cent,
Justin Bieber, Camila
Cabello, Cardi B,
Chance the Rapper,
Eminem, Bruno Mars,
Travis Scott, Skrillex,
and many more.
So, what can you
expect out of this?
Well, despite that it’s
an album that filled
with an eclectic mix
of songs, it really
feels that this time,
Ed Sheeran is simply

IN MY DEFENSE
Iggy Azalea
Known best for
being the son of Will
and Jada Pinkett
Smith, Jaden Smith is
trying to cement his
position in the world of
music. The title of this
album is pretty much
a reference to the
hypebeast character
Jaden Smith created
for the lore behind his
debut album SYRE.
For his second album,
Smith’s giving us a
strict, hard rap album
with a back-to-back
high tempo. It’s safe
to say that Smith has
found his own voice.
As they saying
goes, a sophomore
album is often a break-
or-make project, a
big test of the artist’s
creativity. In this case,
“In My Defense” by
Australian rapper Iggy
Azalea demonstrates
her variety. Consisting
of twelve tracks,
including “Sally
Walker,” and “I Know,”
the album also
features collaborations
with the likes of Lil'
Yachty, Juicy J, and
Kash Doll.
If you’re getting
bored with millennial
noises, then SUM 41’s
new album could
really bring back a bit
of nostalgia. For their
seventh full-length
release titled “Order in
Decline,” the Canadian
punk-pop quartet
delivered one of their
most accomplished
albums. It shows a lot
of maturity, is purely
emotional and offers
variety between
tracks. They’ve proven
that they still have
something to offer this
late in their career.
