Review
Alright, let’s take a trip to Jack Harlow's world with his second album, "Come Home the Kids Miss You." This one's got a glamorous guest list of some of the biggest names in the biz, like Drake, Justin Timberlake, and Lil Wayne. These features surely bump up the album's star power, but they might not necessarily crank the depth up to eleven. Playing the tracks, you’ll be hit with some seriously posh production vibes—hats off to folks like Pharrell Williams, Boi-1da, and Timbaland for those slick, radio-ready beats. Songs like "First Class" and "Movie Star" will have you nodding along with their catchy choruses, while "Poison" and "Lil Secret" take it down a notch for that chill, electronic vibe.
When it comes to the lyrical side, well, Harlow's shooting hoops, but he’s not always sinking them. Sure, he’s got that quick wit and some snappy lines that'll crack a smirk, but once you hit the middle of the album, it’s like, here we go again—same themes of fame, ambition, and relationship drama. Lyrically, it doesn’t really dig deeper than the superficial glitz of his lifestyle. While his guests—shine as they may in their own spotlights—didn't quite bring their A-game across the board. Flow-wise, Harlow's got swagger for days, cruising through different rhythms like a pro. But, hey, with all the razzle-dazzle, it feels more like flick-through singles rather than a big-picture masterpiece. So, while "Come Home the Kids Miss You" jams hard on the soundscapes, it's a bit slim on soul-searching. Let’s hope Harlow's got bigger pops of insight left in his creative tank for the future. - Asher
