Hey, Listen to This!

Matt and Ryan continue their dive into Women's History Month by reviewing their first album that was released in 2026: "Luck...Or Something" by pop singer-songwriter Hilary Duff. We talk about the return of one of the 2000s' most recognizable names, as she deals with adulthood, lost romance, and realizing that time stops for no one. This blend of electro-pop, dance, and indie-folk stylings comes together, and we break it down in this full-length review of the latest LP by Hilary Duff.Listen to the album: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kUdssG540qK7KSdt7Qs58AVhHEtKrKXnM&si=1IHAgf_uvCf-7ZELPurchase the album:https://shop.hilaryduff.com/products/luck-or-something-cd?srsltid=AfmBOorY2SiITD_Pad9JQIRyAQJ21uGTWG0i2z786mlLnfM7QOSA8XnuIf you love what you hear, please give us a five-star rating and share the episode with a friend!Have an idea for a future episode?

On this week’s episode, Matt and Ryan finish off their celebration of Black History Month with a review of Heavy Heavy by Young Fathers. Stripping back the polish for a more "back-to-basics" approach, this 2023 Mercury Prize-nominated project is a kaleidoscopic blend of soul, trip-hop, and African-inspired rhythms. The Scottish trio explores themes of joy, struggle, and heritage through a wall of gritty, lo-fi sound, ranging from the gospel-infused energy of "Geronimo" to the pounding, rhythmic drive of "I Saw."
