Back with the Bellas after college to find their lives just aren’t all that great in the “real world”. They’re all in jobs that they seem to hate and miss singing together. They’re thrilled when they’re invited to a performance by the current Barton Bellas only to end up disappointed that they’re not performing themselves. Then it just gets crazy. They end up on tour with other artists who are (unsurprisingly) a lot more talented than the Bellas. Some very well done “riff offs” ensue and of course when the Bellas stop taking themselves seriously they get a lot more popular. This storyline was a bit of fun if not completely predictable and as a Pitch Perfect fan I wasn’t really complaining - I’m mostly there for the music at the end of the day. It was after this though that the movie lost me completely. Turning into an espionage movie where they do indeed sing to get out of trouble. The Bellas are luckily rescued by the military and Beca is encouraged to take an offer from DJ Khaled to sing alone. Then in the final seen Beca opens for DJ Khaled alone but invites the Bellas onstage to sing Freedom! ‘90 with her creating a touching scene that Pitch Perfect always manages to do - especially as this seems to be the end of the road for the group. I loved the song choices in the movie and that the competition was higher stakes but between the convoluted plot line and sometimes forced comedic moments this definitely wasn’t my favourite Pitch Perfect installment.

Overall a very good album..
I have been a fan of Ed Sheeran since I was in high school (before he reached his current popularity). I saw him live at a very small venue in Pittsburgh, way before he was used to singing in huge arenas all around the world. His songs have always been very sweet and heartfelt, and I am glad that this new album did not stray from that despite his new popularity. I also enjoy some of the hip hop aspects of the album, especially like Eraser and New Man. Those two songs are definitely some of his strongest off of the album. I definitely recommend this album to people who have either already loved Ed Sheeran, or want to start!

Not quite sure how I feel about the album. When I first recieved it, I was quite excited about the Latin theme and many of the tracks that featured Latin singers that I am a rather large fan of. After listening though, I found that on many of these tracks the Latin artists don't get any of the spot light. In addition each song on the album gives drastically different vibes, that leaves the listener attempting to understand what story Madonna was trying to paint with this album. I will say there are a few songs that stuck in my head and had me singing them for a few hours, but nothing that made me want to come back to them over and over again.
