Music of the Month: January 2018

Grammy Recap
Nothing impressed me that much so I really didn't have a favorite album of the month. Instead I thought I'd do a small recap of the Grammys (You can checkout the full list of winners HERE).

As expected, Bruno Mars did some heavy damage. Not necessarily exciting to see but it is typical of the Grammys to choose the most widely known and poppy artist instead of one that actually had a solid or lasting album.

It was nice to see Kendrick win as well as The War on Drugs, but overall the Grammys were pretty bland and lame. Winners weren't unexpected and the live performances were alright, but then again it is the Grammys, so there isn't much to expect in the first place.
