Like Eminem’s previous work, his ninth studio album "Revival" is colossal, with 19 tracks clocking in at over an hour and 15 minutes.

Tove Lo has carved out a niche in the music industry that is uniquely her own. Much like Lana Del Ray, some may be skeptical of her antics (singing about drugs and lots of sex), but both artists have never faltered from who they want to be.

Sam Smith’s “The Thrill of It All” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, his first album to do so. So maybe the world doesn’t need to hear anyone say how incredible Smith’s vocals are, how his lyrics are an emotional punch to the gut or how he has made leaps and bounds in production...
