i mean yeah objectivity don't really come into it but eh who cares
basically i glean all of this from the tim westwood radio show here because tim continues to curate his dancehall style juggling sections of mustard wave and it is all simply irresistable
like the other week he even had me vibing on this before i had to slap myself

not that anyone should be proud of capitalizing off 'thots' but of COURSE its French Montana who manages to swipe that one
― deej loaf (D-40), Sunday, 11 January 2015 14:05 (nine years ago) link
lol yeah there is quite literally no other explanation for a fondness for that tune
tim seems to still have his old hotline to ny going so he plays the shit out of even the most minor french montana appearance, and that plus tim's trick of playing no more than 90 seconds of anything leads to these regrettable jammings
fwiw i checked the recent show i was thinking of and he fired thru all these in series

i passed on covering natalie la rose for the french montana/jeremih record for my column but i feel like the latter just has a nice menacing darkness to it which is refreshing in the ratchet milieu
― deej loaf (D-40), Monday, 12 January 2015 02:51 (nine years ago) link
la rose's mannishly dorky "in the cluuhhh like wuuhhh goin duhhh like wuhhh" bit is a relatively unexpected treat, for a leona lewis lookalike at least

that la rose song is great, we touched on it in the pop thread. lol-obv whitney interpolation but it works a lot better than "don't tell em" imo
the jazmine album is so, so well sequenced, albeit it feels like its narrative starts at "mascara" and ends at "masterpiece" (with "if you dare" feeling like a victory lap bonus track)

new ciara single out of nowhere ... prod by harmony samuels, co-written w/ some fool from rock city who's really taking the success of "i don't mind" as license to do his fake migos ad libs all over the place

i'm.... willing to give this the benefit of the doubt. i guess i have a soft spot for songs that sound like fake ne-yo songs written by stargate

imagine they're gonna need a new single to really get an album in motion but this is decent gossip fodder at least

The new Ne-Yo album is really great, glad he's mostly jettisoned EDM (and in the moments that it's used, it makes sense within the context of the songs)
― Tay-Tay Brooklynpants (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 16:15 (nine years ago) link

Mine has 19, but yeah, it's kinda long so it fizzles out a bit near the end and "She Knows" is reallyyyy jarring within the context of this album, like they should have made it a bonus track or left it off entirely
― Tay-Tay Brooklynpants (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:13 (nine years ago) link
"coming with you" is very "down on my luck"!
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 18:01 (nine years ago) link
LOL @ the moment "she knows" comes in, i think murgatroid's warning made it less jarring than it probably is.
yeah, i'm enjoying this so far. "integrity" was quite striking
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 18:27 (nine years ago) link

speaking of nineties comebacks: the new Johnny Gill track has him doing a credible Pharrell imitation.

honestly, making songs as good as those then just sitting on them

Stupid Girl should be huge. The problem is that they seem kinda intent on hiding her from view since she's gained weight, cf. the album cover.

KING is proud to announce their long awaited debut full length album We Are KING will be released on February 5 through the band's independent label KING Creative. The first sampling from the album is "Hey (Extended Mix)". In a review on Pitchfork naming the song 'Best New Track' writer Marcus Moore wrote, "'Hey' is perhaps the best song in KING's discography so far. It's remarkably blissful, recalling tender milestones no matter how modest or grand."

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with a few new adds (Jill Scott, Van Hunt, V. Bozeman) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
