love this cover art

nxd, Thursday, 6 February 2020 17:25 (six years ago)

I've said before and I'll say it again: the first two EPs were extraordinary instances of trip-hop revival, everything since then has been middling, with flashes of brilliance here and there.

emo vocals is the US equivalent of that fake Mockney way of singing that sounds like Lily Allen with a mouthful of food

parklife!

(wrong artist name on the image moka)

ymo sumac (NickB), Thursday, 6 February 2020 17:39 (six years ago)

too low

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 17:42 (six years ago)

my no. 1 (.... did you vote alfred???)

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 17:42 (six years ago)

Okay I'm listening to the Burna Boy now and it's extremely great.
But I do know what is meant by 'tasteful'.
A lot of afrobeats tends to be a little less hard-hitting and less raw than hip hop and Caribbean music.
The Burna Boy album is particularly smooth and mid-paced. There is stuff out there that's more dancehall influenced, but this isn't it. Worth following the deciated thread if that's what you're looking for

I really fell in love with Jamila Woods in the last couple of months. Had a really good time getting to know her debut as well. Anyone who samples/quotes The Cure, Stereolab and the Dawson's Creek theme tune on the same album was always going to do well with me. Legacy Legacy is an incredible album and whatever position I had it on my list was too low.

kitchen person, Thursday, 6 February 2020 17:47 (six years ago)

Love Legacy Legacy too. Only criticism is her voice is too amateurish in spots. I mean it sorta is all the time but for some reason it doesn't work in certain spots.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 6 February 2020 17:49 (six years ago)

legacy legacy was my number three. it's just so good.

her winking allusions are always nice moments of levity

ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Thursday, 6 February 2020 17:51 (six years ago)

voted for Jamila! great album it was obvious would do well.

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Thursday, 6 February 2020 17:55 (six years ago)

yep, auto-tune and white nationalism are the same thing

On board with this take

totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP), Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:01 (six years ago)

Ît's no secret that I am to r&b as Tuomas is to rock. Except, well, not really, as I actually enjoy about 5% of it.

Double-checking the spreadsheet and Jamila Woods has only one number one vote.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:08 (six years ago)

what's the actual #11?

totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP), Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:08 (six years ago)

11 is not a joke post. Some of us in ilm really love TS that much

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:08 (six years ago)

Woods was my number three.

I need to go back and hear These New Puritans.

aphoristical, Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:09 (six years ago)

My #1 for sure. I copypasted.

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:09 (six years ago)

TOO LOW, the Curator (imago), Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:09 (six years ago)

still haven't heard it, but its release inspired me to revisit red, which was nice.

american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:13 (six years ago)

It was an interesting strategy for Swift to use the worst two songs as the lead singles.

aphoristical, Thursday, 6 February 2020 18:14 (six years ago)

Buttegieg is behind all this.
