I've got to the head-over-heels stage with Honey Cocaine
― lex pretend, Friday, 17 April 2015 22:33 (nine years ago) link
The Honey Cocaine EP is great.
My favourite is probably 'Done Done', mainly because it features the great diss 'what type of man has a heart as small as his dick'.

damn that tamia track is really great

listening to that new kehlani right now, really enjoying it so far
― j. winters (josh), Tuesday, 28 April 2015 06:11 (nine years ago) link
listened through twice so far and I think most of my favorite tracks have already been released but it's a good tape overall. I think I preferred how succinct her previous one was because songs like Bright and The Letter kind of stunt the mood (especially since they're the longest tracks here aside from The Way).
― misterjoshua, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 08:59 (nine years ago) link
looking forward to the kehlani, didn't realise it was coming so soon!
new sevyn streeter is a lovely low-key thing:

oh yeah and i have upgraded the honey cocaine ep from "pretty great" to "near-flawless", i love her
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 11:03 (nine years ago) link
also i know that this thread is, in general, determined to let estelle pass it by but this deep cut from her new album is just a brilliantly performed and written song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKf7XZzYN1U
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 11:06 (nine years ago) link
this kehlani album is pretty brilliant imo. a lot more plain-spoken than i expected. she really lays it all out there.
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 12:57 (nine years ago) link
Like that Seven track. Hope she gets a full-length soon
― Evan R, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 14:22 (nine years ago) link
That Sevyn Streeter song is lovely.
― The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 28 April 2015 14:28 (nine years ago) link
that estelle lex posted is pretty flimsy, though much of the album is enjoyable. the kehlani is lovely, wanna try more.as the artist specific thread has been tanooki'd, what does an R&B thread think about the new Janelle Monaehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OkB6p_FZAw
― Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 28 April 2015 14:30 (nine years ago) link
fwiw, i think the song is pretty awful but likely just a dispensable cut/populist outlier for whatever the new album is; she does that
― Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 28 April 2015 14:34 (nine years ago) link
yeah dreadful song

Good song. Going to be huge.

bad song, not going to be huge

i'm feeling this sevyn streeter song tho

"Unconditional" off the new Kehlani is fire
― deej loaf (D-40), Tuesday, 28 April 2015 19:28 (nine years ago) link
i feel like i know what "4th Street" is interpolating... anybody wanna help? sounds like late 80's stevie wonder.it's a nice song.

does this track get the lex approval?
― djmartian, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 21:35 (nine years ago) link
I actively dislike Janelle Monae's music (she's a great performer) aside from a few songs but that song is definitely among her worst.Don't see a reason to listen to that when i can hear that Jidenna song too.
― misterjoshua, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 21:52 (nine years ago) link
Also, Yoga is appearing on the Eephus EP (5 songs), not Monae's own album afaik. Should be out relatively soon.I initially thought Eephus was gonna be Jidenna's own thing but it's actually showcasing Wondaland Records as a whole.

yeah this has been in my head all day
― bae sremmurd (monotony), Friday, 1 May 2015 07:14 (nine years ago) link
yeah that's one of my favourites, i like how she gives the ~flaws and all trope a slightly novel and distinctive-to-her twist, presenting it as an ultimatum like that
very into "you should be here", "jealous" and "yet" as well
― lex pretend, Friday, 1 May 2015 07:57 (nine years ago) link
though it's really a very impressive body of work overall, it might not have a summer jam like "fwu" but her songwriting voice comes through so strongly
― lex pretend, Friday, 1 May 2015 07:58 (nine years ago) link
"Yet" is my other favorite

don't necessarily disagree but wouldn't be surprised if it didn't catch

"did catch"
I would be surprised if it did. So dull.
