I feel like I should type this whole album review in all caps for Rico Nasty and to express my excitement, but I’ll refrain. Fans were patiently waiting for Nightmare Vacation since early Fall of 2019. Then after six years in the game, she released her debut studio album Nightmare Vacation on December 4, 2020. Rico explained in an interview with Dazed that the album "is not based on one […]

LANY just came out with their third studio album this month, mama’s boy, and the only word I can use to describe how I feel about it is disappointment. Their first two albums and the EP’s they’ve released all had songs that I would add to playlists and frequently have on repeat.
