apparently teyena taylor put out a throwbackish EP a few months back & i like this bass track that interpolates "swing my way" (with good rapping by iman shumpert!)

i think i'm the only person who's checked for the natasha mosley album but it's really proving to be an excellent slow burn as the winter draws in. these two mid-album tracks work so well back to back

new Tiffany Evans EP is good, albeit not as good as the one she put out in 2013

i was sort of disappointed by it, will give it another shot though
the natasha mosley album seems barely to exist - i can't find production credits anywhere (was wondering which the zaytoven ones were, and there are some amazing sparse, subtle late-night sounds on it). it's not on allmusic or even wikipedia!

couple of interesting things out this week, the mila j mixtape makes pretty good use of her sour sneer and boots has released something called aquaria which...is pretty gnarly and weird on one listen, awkward rhythms and dense production and distorted voices and a hell of a lot going on
― lex pretend, Friday, 13 November 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link
the boots thing is interesting, sounds like Beck in midnight vultures mode to me

Danish singer, just 16 years old - it's a break-up song, title translates to something like "you and I are in the past tense now" ("we 2 past tense now")
Comments on youtube filled with young boys complaining that she must care a lot about the boy she's thrashing in the song since she wrote an entire song about him, such provocation

As we move into December, I'd like to drop a quick note to encourage any readers / lurkers / ilxors to post their favorite as-yet-unmentioned RnB tracks from this year to the thread so that I can hoover them into the ongoing spotify playlist. Last chance for any accessible stragglers that may not already be in the lexicon.

the Baltimore rap station has a habit of putting non-official versions of big songs into their rotation, for instance they only ever play the shorter EP version of "Adorn." and the only way they ever play "Swimming Pools" is in a weird mix that affixes a minute of that Lloyd mixtape version to the Kendrick original. so it's not bad but i kind of hate it.

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.
