Review

Okay, listen up, fam! Rick Astley's 'Whenever You Need Somebody' is basically the '80s in a bottle, and I'm living for it. This album is straight fire, no cap. It's got those irresistible bops that'll have you dancing in your bedroom mirror faster than you can say "rickroll."

Let's talk about the tracks, 'cause they're absolute bangers. 'Never Gonna Give You Up' is the OG viral hit before viral hits were even a thing. It's been topping charts and sliding into DMs since before sliding into DMs was cool. And don't even get me started on 'Together Forever' - it's the kind of tune that makes you wanna grab your squad and hit the dance floor.

Stock Aitken Waterman really said "go big or go home" with this one, and Rick's vocals? Chef's kiss. Some haters tried to throw shade back in the day, calling it "Yuppie-boy muzak," but please. This album's got more staying power than your average TikTok trend. It's sold over 15 million copies worldwide, which is basically like going platinum 15 times over. So yeah, Rick Astley and 'Whenever You Need Somebody'? They're never gonna let you down. - Morgan
