 Sfera Ebbasta’s new album, Rockstar, is a frivolous, silly, weakly provocative album.

 Instead, we find ourselves facing a rather unattractive album born old, which instead of launching Sfera as the credible new face of Italian pop, presents him as the trapper skilled at exploiting a trend he himself helped create.

The review critiques Sfera Ebbasta's album Rockstar as a step backward artistically, recycling trap sounds that feel outdated. While certain tracks show promise, much of the album falls short of the creative maturity previously displayed. The album favors style and noncommittal themes over depth, disappointing fans expecting innovation. Overall, it portrays Sfera more as a trend exploiter than a forward-thinking artist. Discover the rise and pitfalls of Italian trap with Sfera Ebbasta's Rockstar—listen and decide if it's fresh or recycled!

 Bob Dylan has an enormous musical output, which includes about 650 songs.

 The album doesn’t add anything to Dylan’s production, just as it’s evident that it contains what are considered great classics along with some 'unusual' choices.
