Okay, real talk! 11:11 is officially my favorite Breezy album ever, no debate. He really went back to his pure R&B era with this one, and honestly? That’s his true genre, hands down. The whole vibe is just so chill, but at the same time, the songs hit so deep. Like, "tagos sa puso" level where you just find yourself reflecting on your whole life late at night.

My top favorites from the album are:

"Residuals" – Bro, I am literally floating every time I listen to this. The vocals? The melody? Absolute perfection.

"Angel Numbers / Ten Toes" – I swear this track was made for me. The lyrics hit way too close to me, it feels like it’s literally describing my life story right now.

"Sensational," "No One Else," and "Delusional" – Lowkey masterclass tracks. Total banger after banger.

I’m not even exaggerating, this album has been on non-stop repeat for me. Zero skips, purely elite vibes. Breezy really fed us good with this one!

Honestly, Purpose is easily one of JB’s best albums, hands down. He really knew what he was doing with this project, the whole album just hits that sweet spot between catchy pop bangers and chill, reflective music. The song choices are a total match to my vibes, especially when I just want to relax and listen to something that actually makes sense.

Here are my top favorites from the album:

"What Do You Mean?" – The tropical beat is just so smooth. It’s light, catchy, and automatically puts you in a good mood.

"Sorry" – Easily a classic. The rhythm is super addicting, but it still maintains that easygoing, chill flow.

"Love Yourself" – Super simple acoustic setup, but the lyrics really hit deep. It gives you that lowkey realization moment while listening.

"Company" – Probably one of the most underrated tracks here. The vibe is just elite, perfect for late-night drives or just hanging out.

Overall, Purpose just brings a mix of good energy and self-reflection. Definitely an album I still go back to whenever I want something easy to listen to!

Honestly, Rihanna is my ultimate favorite female pop artist, period! There is just so much in her voice that is enticing, addicting, and completely grabs your attention. When she sings, it literally feels like she is directly talking to you, like she's right there in the room!

That’s especially true for "Kiss It Better", which is hands down my absolute favorite song of hers. Every time I hear or play that track, the only thing that comes to my mind is: “Oh babe come on, you’re doing that again” hahaha! Her voice is just so sexy, smooth, and unique to me, it genuinely feels like a calling! hahaha.

Another standout for me is "Close To You." It’s such a beautiful, haunting song. By the way, it’s one of her low-energy ballads, kind of like "Take a Bow" (which isn't on this album, but same emotional depth). The raw emotion in her delivery just gives you instant goosebumps.

From start to finish, ANTI proves why Rihanna is on a whole different level. The vocal control, the attitude, and the sheer charisma in every track make this album a timeless masterpiece!

Cosmic by Bazzi is honestly one of those albums that will never get old for me. I literally started listening to these tracks back when I was in Grade 10, and until now, they're still heavily saved on my playlists!

My absolute go-to, on-repeat songs are definitely "Mine" and "Beautiful." Those two tracks are just elite. They’re just really good songs that never get tiring to hear, no matter how many times you play them.

One thing I really appreciate about Bazzi is how his songs are usually around two minutes long. Even though they’re short, he doesn't waste a single second. The vibes and the beats are always the exact match to what I want to listen to. Super chill, smooth, and not too loud or overwhelming. He just delivers the perfect aesthetic in under three minutes, leaves you wanting more, and makes you hit loop immediately.

If you like smooth, lowkey R&B-pop that you can just relax to, Cosmic is definitely worth listening to from start to finish.

Okay, real talk—the main thing I love about Post Malone is his genre-blending style! The way he effortlessly crosses over between rap, pop, rock, and R&B without it feeling forced at all is just pure genius. He really created his own path in the industry.

The top catchy, go-to favorites on this compilation are insane:

"Psycho"
"Rockstar"
"Congratulations"
"Better Now"
"Sunflower"
"Circles"

I still remember when I first got super interested in this type of music! The very first time I heard "Psycho" was back when I was in Grade 11 senior high school. Then, during the pandemic, these exact tracks became my ultimate go-to repeat songs to get through the day.

Honestly, I wasn't even really into the rap genre before. I guess my music taste just changed over time or maybe there's just really something about Posty's vibes and upbeat, super catchy melodies that just force you to get hyped up and jam along no matter what! The Diamond Collection is literally proof that he doesn't drop anything less than hits.

Honestly, I genuinely consider Chase Atlantic as the modern era of the Alternative music genre! They brought such a fresh, new taste to alternative music where you can literally sense a new mix of rock and pop styles just from the unique beats and overall vibe of their tracks.

My top favorite, go-to repeat songs from this album are "Swim," "Into It," and "Consume." The way these tracks blend heavy, dark alternative R&B with a slow-burn dark pop atmosphere is just insane hahaha. To be real, it’s almost confusing sometimes because the songs make me feel completely hypnotized or addicted. They just capture that perfect moody, late-night sound so well.

The very first song I ever heard from them was "Swim," and it instantly captured my attention because it sounded so completely new to me. I was honestly so ignorant about this genre at the time! But the song just makes you feel like you're completely unstoppable and indestructible hahaha, like you're the main character in a movie.

They’re actually pretty much alike with The Weeknd in a lot of ways, you can really tell both artists focus heavily on themes of hedonism and pleasure, giving us those dark R&B, toxic romance, and sensual, intimate vibes. But the main difference is in the overall theme and how they deliver their music! No offense, but listening to The Weeknd makes you way more emotional or sensual, like full-on sad boy mode hahaha. But with Chase Atlantic, even though it has that same dark taste, it doesn't make you sad. Instead, it actually hype you up, makes you want to move forward, and brings realizations to go out there and do things!

If you want music that's dark, addicting, and totally elevates your late-night drive, this self-titled album is 100% an absolute masterpiece!

Honestly, I’m usually so indecisive when it comes to choosing my favorite EDM/dance-pop artist; I’m always torn between Marshmello, Avicii, Jonas Blue, and The Chainsmokers. But at the end of the day, my all-time favorite is definitely The Chainsmokers, no other than! Their music never fails me, and there are just so many core memories attached to it.

For me, Collage is genuinely their best work. The lyrics play out like a full recap of high school days, all about parties, loved ones, friendships, and late-night walks with friends on the open road. Every time I hear this album, it instantly reminds me of my younger self and how young and dumb I was back in high school hahaha! I was so playful, clumsy, and stupid in love. Honestly, listening to these songs feels like a fun way to just forget all the past mistakes and stupidity you’ve made!

Even until now, I still listen to this album on repeat, especially "Closer," "All We Know," and "Don't Let Me Down." The nostalgia is so strong that every time they play, how I wish I could just go back to my younger self and enjoy life simple and free like before.

Whenever I’m feeling sad or whenever I’m driving, these are my go-to tracks to lighten my mood. The music just makes me feel positive about everything I do and fills me with so much hope and joy. Truly an iconic album!

Honestly, Doo-Wops & Hooligans is an absolute classic. It is so good that almost all of my go-to, on-repeat songs are literally just from this one album: "Grenade," "Just the Way You Are," "The Lazy Song," "Marry You," "Talking to the Moon," and "Count on Me."

Every time I hear these tracks, it instantly brings me back to my elementary days. It’s actually funny because listening to this album back then literally taught me how to be "in love," even though I was just a kid! It just has that kind of magical, nostalgic effect.

I also really have to point out how much I appreciate Bruno Mars' vocals. His range is insane, honestly, I wish I could have his voice hahaha.

But beyond the amazing vocals and catchy melodies, I just really appreciate the songs here because they actually make sense. The songwriting is so clear, and the messages behind the lyrics are things I can genuinely reflect on in my own life. Whether it's about friendship, heartbreak, or just having a lazy day hahaha, this album just connects with me on a personal level. Truly a masterpiece!

Honestly, The Secret by Austin Mahone is such an incredible album, and I still can’t get over how good it is!

Real talk though: I didn't actually follow him before or even know who he was until the pandemic year in 2020. I first heard "All I Ever Need" as background music on TikTok hahaha! But the moment I heard it, I had to search for his full songs immediately.

After listening to his songs, the only thing that came to my mind was that this singer is so totally underrated. Back then, I really wondered why he wasn't more popular because his voice is literally freaking great. His smooth, emotional vocals give off major David Archuleta vibes, who is also an amazing singer. At the same time, Austin can easily pull off a Jay Sean style too, especially with his upbeat dance tracks on this album.

No debate, "All I Ever Need" is my ultimate favorite song of his. It’s the kind of track that makes you continuously fall in love more every time you listen to it. The song carries this comforting message that love will still remain strong and never fade, no matter what.

If you haven't checked out The Secret yet, you are seriously missing out on some hidden gems!
