I'm feeling June's Diary, the band Kelly Rowland put together on Chasing Destiny. I'd post YouTubes but I'm on a train.

"LANCE" is an awesome record

I am not that into the k michelle but do love tweet and King and maxwell

After the influence of a few friends I'm coming around on the DVSN

I'm more looking for new artists or singles a little off the beaten path tho, like tweet and Maxwell have been making music for 1-2 decades

the dvsn was not as bad as i thought initially but i still find it pretty ponderous (prob the point)

I just wish there was a star, the anonymous thing is weird to me

I wish the Jacquees mixtape got more run

oh yeah i like that too

PJ's album is dropping in a week, I believe.

new Diana (Wynter) Gordon track up on the fader is pretty strong - excited for more.

can we assume j0rdan's in a string vest with a can of red stripe jammin that new partynextdoor

yes but to the new tyga

heh acceptable

'nasty' still >>>>>>> tho, as deej will advise

that song is great

the new torey lanez is the real dud

really liking diana gordon's new one!

fantasia's new album is out today omg i had no idea!

omfg this fantasia record

aw yeah the nao record rules too. happy r&b day everyone

texturally this nao record is extremely my shit

i agree on the texture. vocally it's a little.... how do i put this..... british?

oh yeah but I don't particularly mind

wow fantasia, i knew she could do earthy but i didn't know she could do light and spacious, this album is great

had been underwhelmed by nao's ep and the singles i bothered hearing (and annoyed by her all-caps insistence), the album wasn't doing much for me but around "in the morning" it sort of...blossoms quite nicely and surprisingly

catching up on the pj album mentioned earlier too and that's really brilliant on one listen, though could do without the children's tv interlude thing and also why does g-eazy exist

i hereby decree a use other words please ruling on texture

certainly a bit of the old heliumballoonageorge about this nao. sounds ok on flick-thru but i don't anticipate ever recalling the songs

two-thirds through it i was thinking it could use either more hooks (cuz none were particularly memorable) or fewer hooks (and just commit to the semi-reverie she was poking at) but around the time when the beats got crunchier it seemed to resolve itself, albeit this is just one listen and i couldn't sing anything back to you yet. it's a weird thing about these aluna-ish voices that they're all ethereal/breathy but when it comes down to a whole album surprisingly inflexible

i mean one-third

of the fantasia songs that are new to me (only about half the album, though the half i've heard was stunning already) "stay up" is so incredible

i would merely add nao to the bashmore dornik etc ersatz uk parlour boogie pile

by the by i really quite like all alunag's new stuff this year! seems to be struggling for momentum though

i hereby decree a use other words please ruling on texture

the surfaces are good

anyway I too was annoyed at the insistence of nao and wasnt really planning on listening to the record but I came away so pleasantly surprised, much as the particular grooves and sounds it's using are kinda designed in a factory somewhere to make me lose my shit

thought it was sort of weird that even beyond the opener being titled "get to know ya" i was reminded at various points of maxwell's now

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"

heliumballoonageorge

hehe

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

― art baengels (monotony),

good record! "Diggin'" is one of my jamz of the year

adding to the Ngaiire love - it is filling the Jessie Ware shaped void in my life right now

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.

ngaiire i think did make the record i wanted jessie ware's "tough love" to be

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.
