The purpose built next generation interstellar Dawn Richard thread

"some dude" in the general rather than specific sense

nah we blazed

lol

yeah that part of the album. i kind hesitate to say so actually cos once u have it in mind then listening to 'frequency' suddenly becomes fairly hilarious

yeah it does give the lyrics a certain... precision that was not present before

oh! btw sorry can i just do this, tim (and all) u have to hear this recent find

some sort of local south florida radio minor hit from 94 apparently

Surprised that nobody here has made anything of the elements of the album that tend more towards deep house.

Sonically it plays as an updated version of what Gaelle was doing.

cannot listen to youtubes at work (also on that note sorry rtc I will revert in due course) - pray tell what are the deep house elements on Goldenheart.

How on earth did you uncover that, rtc? Amazing.

Any sort of radio exposure happening w/any of this over in the US? Curious as to how tracks off this wld sit outside of the album, &c.

<3 that Gaelle album, never stopped listening to it.

pray tell what are the deep house elements on Goldenheart.

Well it rings pretty clear to me on the first half of the album and crops up elsewhere (Though the dub elements may to an extent overshadow it on Pretty Wicked Things). In terms of tonality, mood and the steady insistence of the beats, there are pretty clear parallels.

The problem with vocal deep house is that the sample size is relatively small in terms of artistic output so there is a lot of room for mischaracterisation. But looking at Richard next to Gaelle, Lisa Shaw and Lysa Aya Trenier I do hear undeniable similarities.

Listening to the tracks would probably illustrate the point better than reading anything I have to say about it.

Perfect

holy fucking shit that angel moore song

also lol it's totally obvious how rtc found it

it doesn't seem to exist in mp3 form. maybe it never has!

also if tsrobodo's gonna introduce me to artists like gaelle let's hold off on the clowning gifs this once

never

also lol it's totally obvious how rtc found it

alas this deduction is incorrect as i already have a youtube of 'moments in love' permanently embedded in my soul

YASSSSSS, hq and everything

Okay woah @ Angel Moore.

Forgot about that Gaelle record!

The snarky bitchcraft is kinda lost on me.

IMO that gif expresses something rather more complex and ambiguous than snarky bitchcraft

Basically, I want to believe that you might be onto something tsrobodo, but the idea that "in terms of tonality, mood and the steady insistence of the beats, there are pretty clear parallels" works only at such a level of remove that I think it becomes meaningless.

Even with the artists you mentioned the similarity strikes me as one born of the fact that vocal deep house takes its cues from R&B, and there is a lot of other R&B I'd choose before Dawn to characterise that relationship of proximity.

Tim you so are good at explaining things nicely, I would send my kids to your school

I'd be interested in learning more about the "clapper trend" that was mentioned upthread. I hear dry, plug-and-play claps and hats and think "this sounds like footwork" but could somebody elaborate?

gif selection is a fine art yo don't ever get it twisted

that said, "bitchcraft" is totes going on my cv

bonus track

keep feeling like tsrobodo has a point about something, just not necessarily this album (yet)

praps if the q was like, what is it that makes zaki ibrahim sound like an eclectic house diva traveller but not ever really like an r&b singer despite notional similarity

yeah zaki is def. a better fit for this idea

Much of the rhetoric I've seen in the R&B and hip-hop threads here can be distilled down to "snarky bitchcraft" and while I haven't been around long enough to know if that's the norm, you guys do seem to love talking 'around' each other.

I'll concede that my characterisation was clumsy and lazy, but I wasn't implying that she took direct cues from deep house or even that they operate within the same frame of stylistic reference. I just feel that considering the extents to which popular motifs in dance, electronic and R&B music have shifted over the past decade, there is a notable sonic correlation between the two.

Curious as to what R&B you'd choose from the mid 00's that better characterises that parallel.

Why are the mid 00's particularly relevant here? (that's a non snarky bitchcraft q)

Why are the mid 00's particularly relevant here?

Nothing inherently special about the 00's in regards to this but the artists I referenced all released albums between 04 and 05. We could draw parallels with artists working concurrently but where's the fun in that?

Just to clarify I'm not implying a linear evolution from one to the other but speaking more in terms of how they incorporate prevalent trends into their music.

^^^ not getting mixed up in that

I got the physical v of this yesterday, am a little surprised at how...low-budget the art & layout are. no problem! I bought it this way since I'm willing to pay a $3 premium for the "artifact"; but I guess they're thinking this'll sell primarily digitally so why try very hard with the physical one. obv I don't really care because THE MUSIC MAN

obv i like that gif

u like the bitchcraft now but just wait til season 6

how long do i have to stare at this before something happens

so like, there's some dance elements... like house... and there's some moody vibes... like deep house...

female vocals too

to be really real in a boring way jill scott and angie stone have already got that deep house shit locked down, dawn missed a trick by not being around to get on some prog house extravaga biz back in 1994 or so.

Like you could see her and the drum club just ~vibing~

i will never understand why bitches never summon quentin harris

b/c it's like staring into the real of their careers

oh i see what u mean, cos the r&b diva ego resists being as entwined with the music as house makes it

yeah

quentin harris remixes of jill or seriously next level

*are

especially "hate on me" >>>>>>

man I even like that jill scott / 4 hero collabo.

did you guys ever hear his adele 'set fire to the rain' last year? removed from soundcloud now so here's the re up

wait, so were jill and angie gettin it in with the hauskru back in 90-something frealz and if so where do I hear that?
