New material dropping this Thursday…

Yeah the snippets here and there have been brilliant.  I think he's so fresh and in your face good. 

 

Hi Ren gets me right in the chest though, even after 100 listens

Yep, it’s superb. What a generational talent he is .. head and shoulders about the rest. Reincarnated is up there with his best ever songs for me. 

 

Just given it its first spin - another top tier record -  And much like the others its got its very own identity-  Greatest Rapper of all time IMO

I'm liking the new album by Halsey, it's very poppy and has a major pop punk influence which I usually wouldn't like, but I admire how real and honest she is talking about her struggles with mental health and her illness. Also even though it is still within the pop realm I like how she's developed from a purely electropop sound to a more mature one with rockier and singer-songwriter influences. Think she's really come on musically and I like how she's not afraid to show vulnerability.

TORSO is a decent new album by Soap&Skin.

New Michael Kiwanuka album yesterday. Perhaps as a whole a little less immediate than his others, but still very wonderful. He just makes my ears extraordinarily happy.

Only got to this yesterday… a couple of listens in.

There surely can’t be a more talented U.K. solo act than Kiwanuka..

this album is like sinking into a warm bath after being outdoors on a November day.. just beautiful.

 

knowing my luck (ticketless) he will headline The Park next summer..

these tunes floating over a warm June evening……

The new Soccer Mommy album is lovely. Bit less expansive and psych than previous albums, more minimal and showcasing her songwriting talents. Music that makes you feel stuff - takes me back to that great run on Woodsies this year of Mannequin Pussy / Soccer Mommy. For people who like emoey music with reflective vibes, reflecting on grief and change.

Been listening to the new Kendrick quite a bit, wouldn't say it's his best but it's still amazing as per everything her puts out. Bit more minimal instrumentally, with a bit of old-school west coast flavour, definitely putting his rapping center-stage on this one. He manages to make a lot more hooks just in his vocals which is great. Reminds me a bit of DAMN which did the same sort of thing. After the Drake beef and success of Not Like Us i'm not surprised he's gone in a poppier direction, though he's definitely kept the rawness and subversiveness he always has. Still the GOAT, just riding high atm.
