What else has dude done? I feel like I've listened to several hours of music that sounds just like this over the last few years, and I can't remember a single damn chorus from any of it

He helped do the only good Sky Ferreira track
That's all I know
Most of the album I listened to was boring but I'll rep for champagne coast and chamaray

I think it's called Chamakay.
I actually quite like a lot of the stuff he's done with female vocalists but Cupid Deluxe was a real bore.

if Solange likes Kelela so much, she should just make a Fade To Mind-produced record too (or even better, hire another like-minded crew of producers and take the same approach).

I have a lot of problems with this whole aesthetic; the biggest is that artists use it as an excuse to disguise thin songwriting. But the one that bothers me the most is the way every artist seems to think its incredibly unique and novel, when in reality the internet is saturated with this stuff

Dev Hynes did this which is def the best fake Prince song I've heard this year

Not sure if this belongs here. Was listening to the Diskotopia label releases the past few days, trying to figure out why they're hyped in a way, and this Fujimoto Tetsuro record stood out after a couple of listens. It's nothing remarkable, but hits a sweet spot of like IDM-versioning Rock the Boat-era Aaliyah.

hmmmmm
In L.A.'s revivified funk scene, the 26-year-old Bay Area native is emerging as a potential torchbearer. On his debut full-length, Contact, Brown triangulates early Prince, a grown, sexy Janet Jackson and Mr. Contact himself—Carl Sagan, if you're nasty—connecting the corporeal, the spiritual and the extraterrestrial through vintage synths, bangin' drum machines and the occasional ripping guitar solo. And he does it while rocking a look best described as Lloyd Christmas-meets-new jack swing.

the new Jai Paul release has shot straight to the top of the RYM 2019 chart. listening now I can't really hear what's so special and his stop-start production trick got stale very quickly but...why does RYM love it so much?
obviously ilx hates him, or at least did back when the lex posted
― imago, Tuesday, 4 June 2019 13:17 (four years ago) link
it's not exactly new since it first leaked 6 years ago but i haven't really given it much thought since then. i think it's just the whole cult of mystery thing - him releasing two promising and distinctive (though still fairly overrated) demos before all these other demos leaked and he disappeared for ages. it seems like a shame they did leak because hearing more polished versions of some of those songs would have been cool, instead of what happened which is that the leak freaked him out and frustrated him enough to not release anything until now. skimming through the 'album' again i still really like 'str8 outta mumbai' and some of the rest shows some promise but it's not too special and i don't get why people are so enamoured with it.

They fit the thread, but that’s kinda the problem. They’re not doing much new with this approach. Not bad . Just ok imho

Maybe you don’t always have to do something “new,” but there’s something missing from the Black Grapefruit song that keeps me from being wowed.
