As much as I cheer for regional differences in radio play, there are times when I feel cheated by them. My rap station is playing "Wicked Games" about three times an hour now, and it feels like a violation every time

and here i thought making people feel violated was the weeknd's whole raison d'etre

22. Mary J. Blige - “Don’t Mind” (Geffen)
This album didn't get much love, but it had some great singles on it

15. José James - It’s All Over Your Body” [Blue Note]

i feel like we need brainwasher to start the 2013 thread just so we can have that optimistic list of artists at the top
― lex pretend, Thursday, 3 January 2013 09:26 (eleven years ago) link
in the meantime the entire jojo mixtape is still giving; this is a slow burner, but her songwriting and vocal nuances are so on point in it

OK, one last drop from me before Brainwasher reminds us that the K. Michelle album is coming out for real in 2013.
I've been lukewarm on AlunaGeorge, but their new track "Diver" is fantastic. No YouTube embed yet, but Stereogum has it here: http://stereogum.com/1228872/alunageorge-diver/mp3s/
This Austin Brown mixtape is like a weird mix of young Marvin and New Edition, filtered through the Elephant 6 collective. Shit is all over the place, but he has sort of a Bruno Mars star quality, so I feel like he could be a thing:

And because we all like her:

I'm not sure if we have much of a choice as to whether Michael Jacksons nephew becomes 'a thing'.
