Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd? - American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey follows up on her 2021 double release with Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. Stating that she wanted her latest record to have “a spiritual element”, Del Rey’s latest offering is complex, unsettling and profound. Under-appreciated as a writer, her latest entry is slightly obscure, with some fairly lengthy tracks, yet this ninth studio album is possibly her most important one yet.

Following collaborations with a whole host of hip hop artists over the past couple of years, including Kanye West, it was a surprise to see Blake return to his musical roots, with electronic, dance, and experimental music on his latest album. With varying textures, ambient soul and pulsating synths, Blake is incredibly engaging and at times, haunting.
