Unfortunately, she only came around to a handful of singles, therefore making me look like a fool. Promising a dip to Claire Boucher\u2019s earlier days, \u201cMy Name is Dark\u201d and \u201cSo Heavy I Fell Through the Earth\u201d juxtapose <em>Art Angels<\/em>\u2019 electro-pop hybrid. When her fifth LP <em>Miss Anthropocene<\/em> drops in February, our chips will be on Grimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Poppy will be the breakout artist of 2020.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Described by the artist themself as \u201cpost-genre,\u201d Poppy\u2019s stage name could be quite misleading. Singles \u201cConcrete\u201d and \u201cBLOODMONEY\u201d play like diary entries of early Avril Lavigne with cliff notes from Pantera thrown in. This is the exact kind of rule-breaking music that\u2019s exploded lately- just look at the twisted take on pop music Billie Eilish introduced to the mainstream. Poppy\u2019s album <em>I Disagree <\/em>drops today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Normani\u2019s debut album will follow the story of Carly Rae Jepsen\u2019s <em>E\u2022MO\u2022TION<\/em>.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The former Fifth Harmony member\u2019s debut single \u201cMotivation\u201d was a stunning achievement in pop- that feeling of listening to something clearly radio-friendly, but even anti-Top 40 purists can fall in love with? It\u2019s a rare emotion last felt with, well, <em>E\u2022MO\u2022TION<\/em>. Despite being a commercial failure, Carly Rae Jepsen\u2019s 2015 LP became a sacred cult hit for those often put off by stuff atop Billboard. Its varied list of producers gathered the best in the industry to craft nostalgic sounds of \u201880s pop, similar to the path Normani appears to be venturing down with \u201800s R&amp;B. Here\u2019s hoping the latter\u2019s upcoming release will garner more attention than CRJ\u2019s opus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Van Weezer<\/em> will be the worst album of 2020.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just when it seemed like Weezer was finally on the brink of recapturing their \u201890s glory thanks to back-to-back charmers <em>Everything Will Be Alright in the End<\/em> and <em>White Album<\/em>, <em>Pacific Daydream<\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/scadradio.org\/2019\/03\/05\/black-album-proves-weezer-is-still-past-prime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><em>The Black Album<\/em><\/a> relegated them back to cruise ship music. And let\u2019s not talk about that covers LP they did. It\u2019s a shame, too- Rivers Cuomo has been notoriously afraid to take risks as they did on the untamed <em>Pinkerton<\/em>, and it\u2019s costed them their reputation in the 21st century. <em>Van Weezer<\/em> won\u2019t be any different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Migos will break up.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlanta trio\u2019s always been on good terms as a family and a band, but there\u2019s a reason people can only handle a visit to their kinfolk twice a year. Migos will finally call it quits, though it won&#8217;t be through an N.W.A.-style meltdown. While they\u2019ve said their solo albums didn\u2019t mean the group was splitting, it\u2019s undeniably a step away from the rat pack they were back in the \u201cVersace\u201d era.
