Amber Gomez – “I’m Not Black and Blue” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ I’m not sure whether I’ve ever expressed this opinion out in the open, but man, I’m really not a fan of Taylor Swift. Questionable ethics aside, her music is… nothing to me, and that is her greatest sin in my humble opinion. To my ears, it is a big, meaty slab… Read more
