but around "in the morning" it sort of...blossoms quite nicely and surprisingly
also my initial posts about it itt were almost 100 percent motivated by the synth that appears halfway through "in the morning"

i would merely add nao to the bashmore dornik etc ersatz uk parlour boogie pile
anderson paak, kaytranada, gallant over here
the pj is def good. seems like kehlani is aiming for the radio with her new stuff so pj sort of scratches the old kehlani itch.

ngaiire is sorta vaguely r&b, more ppl should be talking about that album other than brad, tim and me lol

Has anyone heard or talked about the new Michael Kiwanuka? I don't like Danger Mouse too much, but he got some good stuff out of the guy. Very melancholy Isaac Hayes.

PJ was the opening act at the K Michelle concert I was at last night and she was really good. Agree with above that the album is great.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Monday, 1 August 2016 10:51 (seven years ago) link
is the kiwanuka an improvement over his first (and imo boring) album?
― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Monday, 1 August 2016 14:37 (seven years ago) link
I think so. It's still boring, I guess, but as an aesthetic? First track is this 10-minute epic, which is like Pink Floyd meets "Hot Buttered Soul." Isaac Hayes' "Echoes?"

I know old Stax singer William Bell doesn't exactly fit into this thread, but his new album, This is Where I Live, is nice and he sounded great live last night in a club with the Atlanta based Total Package band.

I know zero about this serpentwithfeet, but the single off the EP is so lovely.

I've been toying with starting a Sevyn thread because she is just so faultless and it bewilders me that she isn't a major-league star yet.

Man, it's been five years since King of Hearts, and almost seven since the Young Goldie EP. I wonder if he even has a label anymore?
― Evan R, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 15:03 (seven years ago) link
From what I read last night after coming across the clip, there's an entity that's going to release an EP soon — not sure what label that is though.
― maura, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 15:04 (seven years ago) link
EP is a good format for him. Low key, intimate, low stakes. I still return to Young Goldie every year or so and love it
― Evan R, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 15:06 (seven years ago) link
"tru" is easily one of the most-played songs at the r&b station here so he must have some kinda label support
― dyl, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 15:51 (seven years ago) link
been so long since i last thought about lloyd. didnt he have an idiotic rapping phase
still remember u all fronting on 'cupid' though (tim excepted) so WHATEVER GUYS

He put out that Playboy Diaries mixtape, which was bad, then got in a feud with Miguel because they both had the same haircut. Then he disappeared.
― Evan R, Wednesday, 31 August 2016 16:07 (seven years ago) link
i wasn't feeling "tru" the first time i heard it but it kinda has a confessional tp-2.com era r kelly thing going for it

― thrusted pelvis-first back (ulysses), Thursday, 1 September 2016 15:19 (seven years ago) link
or you could just come to terms with him being kinda good? lol looks like he's not in jail either. Apparently the girl was crazy.

that chris brown song is nice in that it doesn't try and bash you over the head but it also doesn't really have much of a chorus to it & it's a blatant rip off of "what do you mean?" just grafted onto more traditional pop house instead of trop house

i can see how it sounds like bryson tiller kinda, and i know that's the knock against dude, but it doesn't sound like a drake song to me except in the most "minimal/icy R&B slow jam sung by dude being a sleazeball" sense
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 1 September 2016 17:07 (seven years ago) link
