Review
Alright, let's talk about Roy Woods' 2025 drop, "Dark Nights." This nine-track joint, clocking in just over twenty-six minutes, ain't got no filler – it's pure, unfiltered emotion. Woods has been keeping it real since his debut, and here he's still grappling with the tangled mess of love, the betrayals that sting, and how this whole music hustle can mess with your head. From the jump, "So Obvious" sets that melancholic vibe, straight up comparing fleeting romances to seasons just passing by.
Roy ain't holding back for a second on this one. He's confessing his past screw-ups on "What I Used to Get Into" and even owning up to how his life grinds down real relationships, like he spells out on "Stay With Me." When he gets into it on "Disrespectful," you can practically feel the tension jump through the speakers. Dimi, his longtime beat wizard, keeps the production dark and hazy, perfectly backing up every raw feeling. The album closes with "Tell Me What I'm Living For," leaving you with Woods still chasing answers, proving he's still that artist who keeps it all the way authentic. - Livia
