Review
Who doesn't love a world where Future releases back-to-back albums that keep your head spinning? "HNDRXX," dropping just a week after his self-titled "Future," flips the vibe on its head. This album digs a little deeper, really getting into Future's introspective side while balancing catchy radio-ready hits. With themes like personal reflection and relationships, it's clear "HNDRXX" isn't here to just ride the typical trap wave—it's doing its own dance entirely.
The guest lineup isn’t messing around—in fact, it’s on fire. With Rihanna bringing the heat on "Selfish," The Weeknd whipping up the magic on "Comin Out Strong," and features from Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown, you're in for tracks that pop and sizzle with top-tier collaboration energy. These artists don’t just sprinkle in stardust; they deepen the vibe, making sure "HNDRXX" speaks all kinds of musical dialects. The catchy hooks and distinct styles from these features bring a delectable flavor to Future's introspective tales.
Let's face it, "HNDRXX" isn't just shaking things up musically—it's letting you know it's got the chops to climb charts and turn critics’ heads. This album met with nods and applause, getting a respectable Metacritic score of 78. It's not just about chart-topping success (although, yeah, talk about that first-ever number one back-to-back on the Billboard 200); it's about the layers Future crafted here. Seeing "HNDRXX" grace multiple year-end lists, and scoring Platinum certifications, certainly shows it left its mark. The industry took note, solidifying this album as a resonant piece of Future's prolific arsenal. - Livia
