you think? some woozy (flanged?) synths and super dry drums in a simple midtempo pattern always sounded kinda lazy and nothing to me.

not crazy about the track but it does brutalize speakers for sure

jax, i assume that suggesting moroder would kinda be unnecessary for ya?

what are you thinking of? i have most of his stuff. only thing i can think of is donna summer's 'grand illusion'. rest is pretty dancey. i think this thread was to catch up on modern r'n'b that people like lex think we're overlooking by listening to indie-ish groups like the weeknd.

i thought you were looking for ambient abstract trip electronic rnb on the faster than the speed of love tip, my mistake

i would just like to put it out there that i have listened to nothing but r'n'b for the past 2 weeks. catching up on both real and indie spectrums. stuff people thing i should be listening to. trey songz 'pp&p', ciara 'basic instinct', electric red 'how to be a lady vol 1', frank ocean 'nostalgia/ultra', how to dress well 'love remains', jeremih 'all about you', jhene aiko 'sailing souls', the dream 'love king' and a bunch of mixes of r'n'b influenced stuff. nguzunguzu, kingdom, deadboy. i have loved lots of these albums (j.aiko, dream, jeremih, ciara, electrik red). thought some of them were pretty boring (trey sonz, htdw) and sorta half half on the frank ocean. after all of this, i can say i am still a fan of the weeknd. oh well. at least i like lots more music than i did 2 weeks ago.

not going in that other thread because it's a beast and people are hardly talking about music

o, and the ty&kory mixtape which was kinda meh. 'stripclubs' is cool, but only because it reminds me of something off around the world in a day.

i think its a mistake to frame this as 'if only you had heard these first,' fwiw & def wouldnt expect that to convert you. i do think it makes an argument against this music being particularly unique tho

good approach jax

More songs to talk about: Lil B's "I"m God", Rihanna's "Russian Roulette", Rick Ross' "Aston Martin Music".

forgot how great this one was. 'myspace' is pretty amazing too

not feeling this one tbh. it's almost there, but the choruses are kinda corny. something about the chord changes, melody & modulations have this cliched feeling of like overcoming pain & empowerment or something. hollywood ending type shit

i love the way the beat goes underwater when drake starts singing. just wish he'd stop singing

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of "Russian Roulette" TBH, I just think it's an interesting point of comparison because the music's totally in the Weeknd vein and thematically it's sorta there as well, the only difference is that it's a power-ballad.

i thought of this thread because i can imagine this song playing in the most depressing club ever and that's what's good about it

i think the whole ryan hemsworth wedidit vibe is a bit like the day after the party when the smoke clears, walking home the next morning with the sun shining.

this is def not what i'd be looking to hear in that situation

it so reminds me of that cracked out feeling of buying a litre of orange juice in a petrol station the next day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUi_S6YWjZw

ryan hemsworthless, am i right

RIGHT

dance game macklemore

album is not quite as bullshit as the remixes but it is bullshit nonetheless

have we talked about how post-weeknd-core is more prevalent than ever now thnx to like partynextdoor & shit like that

nb this is way better than spooky black although still ... you know

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfT6tdIH95A

https://soundcloud.com/thestand4rd/sets/thestand4rd-album

solo spooky sux but i did quite like the crew record actually

it's vaguely as if james blake had been told to start at the very bottom if he really wanted to be a part of dungeon family

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIYISblJiSI

have also been known to have an occasional singalong to this succulently patronising numero

pnxd is responsible for some truly savagely bad music tho

Did you know he's dating Kehlani

:(

i did not know that

def got me feeling some type of way :C
