Song Review: XG – Puppet Show
Though I still wouldn’t call myself a fan, XG’s music has appealed to me more and more as their discography has grown. Last month’s New Dance was a catchy earworm, while GRL GVNG felt like their most convincing hip-hop track yet. After months of pre-releases, their first EP has finally been released alongside the music … Continue reading

It’s exceedingly rare for me to award any song a 10-out-of-10 rating on release day. Instead, … Continue reading
