How do I get my album reviewed by blogs

[Somasu]

I'm talking about both small and big ones. I'm a new artist but I would really like my album to be reviewed in order to get more of a following. my album is available everywhere online (apple music, tidal, amazon, google play etc.)

This is my album https://soundcloud.com/stateofmodernage/sets/occassionalesque

I would love to get my album reviewed by Pitchfork but I think they only review big artists

Most blogs and music sites have the submission details available right there. Have a look.
You can hire a publicist, but it is not an inexpensive venture.

Congrats on your release, but please know that Pitchfork caters to hipsters.

they review rap and r&b too

Even though my album is self-released, it's available everywhere. And I did message someone to review it. But I don't know if or when they will

It's really difficult. I can imagine its much easier if you have someone recommending you.
But like someone said, pitchfork and a lot of these sites are for hipsters (hipsters can like hip hop too) which for me turns me off anyway.
I hate how you have to try hard to be 'cool' to fit in and be accepted.

It's so frustrating. It feels like the fucking hunger games with regards to getting my music heard. I feel if blogs actually took the time to listen to my album (in the same way they would for a bigger artist's album) they would probably enjoy this album.

Yes. That is why paid promotion and publicity exist.

which ones are the best?

The one you can afford. We're talking a few hundred dollars to a few thousand or more per week, for a minimum 3-month contract.
