Rating Hugo by Loyle Carner


Hugo

10) Georgetown

Interesting pick for the second single for the album in my opinion. I like his flow, but I am not a fan of the instrumental, it gets repetitive.

9) Blood on my Nikes

I like the context of this song as it discusses the knife crime epidemic within the UK however, as a song it will have to grow on me.

8) Speed of plight

Good song, Loyle Carner definitely feels in his element as it’s clear to hear however, this is a reoccurring theme throughout the album so would have been nice to hear him step out of his comfort zone more.

7) Nobody knows

The last single for the album, very similar vibes to isle of Arran which is a banger. It’s not quite as good but still amazing.

6) HGU

Great song to close the album, love the off-beat drums throughout the song and the passion in the vocals. Drumming was on point in this album.

5) A lasting place

Such a vibe! Would be higher on my list if the audio clip was took out the song to be honest. Only downside of the album I would say is there are too many audio clips.

4) Polyfilla

This song makes you want to bounce your head to the beat. Once again, the bouncy sound of the piano just outs this song to that next level.

3) Plastic

Such a groovy song. Hats off to the drummer and bassist doing wonders for this song. I like the message of the song which is saying get lost to plastic or ‘fake’ people.

2) Hate

The lead single of the album did not disappoint. Love the drums creating that rock rap similarly to no CD which is in my top 3 Loyle Carner songs.

1) Homertown

My personal favourite from the album. Love the vibe and the pianist smashed it out the park with this one. Great tune for a late-night walk.

Being funny in a foreign language 11) About you This one will definitely have to grow on me. After first listen it hasn’t quite connected with me but not all of their songs typically do after first listen. 10) The 1975 The bands best intro song to an album yet! It sets the album up perfectly with hints as what is to come specifically, Matty’s experimental vocals which is a reoccurring theme throughout the album. 9) Part of the band I was confused as to why this was the lead single for the album. I get it now. Probably Matty’s best lyrics on the album. Unique song! 8) Human too Another song showcasing Matty’s improved singing ability which I have really noticed throughout this album. Another great song will probably be higher on my list after a couple more listens. 7) When we are together Another great outro song to a great album. “Central Park is SeaWorld for trees” is a personal favourite lyric from this song. Gives me birthday party vibes. 6) Wintering What sounds like Matty making a...

Rating The 1975 self-titled album

The list 16) An encounter This lyric less, ambient song creates an atmospheric mood from start to finish. 15) The 1975 This intro song sets the tone for the album and prepares you for what is to come. 14) Talk! Matty Healy said this song contains the best lyrics off this album, however, is a lesser favourite of mine. 13) The city This song used to be much higher on my list however has dropped off overtime. 12) Is there somebody who can watch you? Matty’s most personal lyrics within the album. Beautiful sounding song accompanied by piano to close off the album. 11) 12 To me this song does what an encounter tries to do but better. Beautiful! 10) M.O.N.E.Y This song is like marmite, you either love it or hate it. I love it! 9) Pressure Great song but I do think this song sounds better live due to mainly the saxophone player. 8) Girls Just like the city, this song used to be higher on my list. Great song, nonetheless.   7) Heart out The repeated vocals throughout the chorus do wonders ...
