In February, there was an extremely wide range of music for every taste, so this time the article is filled with different genres so that none of them is repeated twice. Although even this approach will not fully reflect the rich repertoire of the last month of winter. We deliberately passed by Usher’s new album, opting for other pop and R&B album, and also ignored the joint project fool Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign. In general, it turned out to be a very eclectic selection — from straightforward pop to uncompromising deathcore. Read more about the music releases of February that interested us the most in the article below.

This musical cocktail with a slight longing for the 80s sounds surprisingly incendiary and harmonious, especially the tracks Let Go and Touch we are recommended. Not bad for a band that celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

Everything here is as it should be within the genre — furious extreme, machine-gun bursts of blast beats, metalcore breakdowns, powerful guitars. Through this furious wall of rattling and screeching, it seems, once even a quite melodic guitar solo breaks through, but you should not expect compromises: this music is quite suitable for festivals in hell.

Probably only the lazy have not heard that Lopez resumed her relationship with Ben Affleck and married him 20 years after their first failed engagement. In 2002, the album This Is Me… Then was released, which contained the song-confession of love Dear Ben, in the new work, which is an ideological continuation of its predecessor, we have Dear Ben, Pt. II — everything is consistent and logical. From the musical point of view, this is the familiar J. Lo — lyrical, tender, R&B. But most importantly, she’s infinitely in love.

The Canadian band has long been able to find its own style, which is difficult to confuse with anyone else. These guys and girls can change the tempo/mood within one track; what can we say about a full album, which contains a whole palette of emotions and feelings. We especially recommend paying attention to the tracks Explode!, Forever and The Matrix (Keanu Reeves probably cringed somewhere in the world).
Genre: progressive rock

The Circus and the Nightwhale — is an extremely atmospheric, somewhat melancholic and full of virtuoso guitar solos work from a true master. Here, he combines elements of such styles as jazz fusion and blues, alternates calm ballads (Ghost Moon and Living Love is unsurpassed) with energetic prog rock, and guitar solos sometimes give way to incendiary saxophone (Taking You Down). Not a musical album, but a solid theatrical performance for the ears.
Genre: house, trance
Release date: February 16

Although the album’s colorful cover suggests that it’s cold enough for snow, we shouldn’t forget that spring is just around the corner.

The band’s trademarks are found on their seventh LP, The Catalyst, which looks like one of the best releases of the month, in the humble opinion of the author of these lines. This extremely energetic work rushes through the mind like a hurricane and leaves no chance for sadness.
Genre: synth-pop, cold wave
Release date: February 23
Number of tracks: 11

In response, I would like to say only the following: to hell with those trends, if your music is of high quality. And the retro aesthetics of Girl with No Face are really fascinating: the album is atmospheric and full of emotions, and Allie X’s sonorous vocals simply cannot leave you indifferent.
