the ty tape is great except for the pharrell song which is dogshit
the melody on that one is so off-putting.

The Pharrell track sounds as if he's trying to do an Andy Partridge (XTC) impression.

i agree that it's a weird fit in the context of the project, but divorced from that context it's cool, if a little long.

a bit of a step back for them but it's a charity single (released for world children's day) so i'll let it slide. that mixtape from earlier this year is still very good

haven't listened to the full-length but among the small # of youtubes i perused from the lyrica anderson album this is the one i'll prob come back to most. (i also like the instrumental break section in the music video to "don't take it personal" [not a monica or jermaine jackson cover] but it's not present on the album version!)

quick check suggested charles x has not been mentioned on ILX before and a quick scan of his last album suggests he's pretty greatthe video for "Can You Do It" is from last year but is showing as part of an animation festival this month; give it a spin.

so good

I really like the Lyrica Anderson album! It's nice to hear this ~smoky ambience~ Tinashe-style of production with someone with a full and rich voice instead of varying degrees of Aaliyah softness it usually comes with. I didn't realise she had a hand in Elijah Blake's "I Just Wanna..." which is one of my favourite r&b singles this decade.
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 16 December 2017 11:36 (six years ago) link
just came across this album, which is really nice
