Idk how to feel about Velvet Negroni. I like the name and the album artwork but the actual music is so-so.

xxpost thanks wtev! I need to update it - I've heard so much good stuff already since then.
xpost - I'm kind of the opposite with velvet negroni: the entire presentation seems like something i wouldn't go for but the music really works for me.

Gave Velvet Negroni another chance but it’s not connecting with me. There’s plenty of sounds in there which I like but as a whole package it’s not working for me, it’s just not my aesthetic at all, for every moment inside the song that fascinates me there’s two that I find boring... the length of the songs is fairly standard but it feels like they’re much longer.. speaking of, I’m also in the minority that doesn’t connect with Frank Ocean’s Blond and that’s the record it reminds me the most.
That said, I like “Feel Let”, imho it’s the one with the most interesting sounds.

"Feel Let" is my favourite.

Two great albums from South Africa that deserve a wider audience on ILM:Singer Samthing Soweto just released his first solo album (titled Isphithiphithi) since making his name two years ago with his feature on Sun-El Musician’s gorgeous “Akanamali” (a/k/a The Singles Jukebox’s highest rated song of 2017 and the #6 in ILM’s 2017 EOY Top Tracks).It features a beautiful mix of South African soul tracks and smooth amapiano house jams.For the former, try “Umuhle Uyasabeka” or “Omama Bomthandazo”, for the later “Akulaleki”.Speaking of amapiano, the jazzy-or-is-it house sound ruling the clubs and charts of SA that owes a surprising lot to Larry Heard:For an album of back-to-back smooth jams and bangers in that vein, may I recommend Scorpion Kings (nominally an EP) by DJ Maphorisa & Kabza De Small, who were also involved in the Samthing album. Try “Amantombazane” (with Samthing), “Vula Vala” or “We’Mama”.

(just to make it 11)
I heard this track last night on a New Orleans radio station that I listen to a lot and it prompted an immediate Shazam. GREAT tune, like a funkier Crowded House channelling F. Scott Fitzgerald. (But in a good way.) Can't find much about the guy, I guess he's from Bolton and is legally deaf. Not sure he even has an album out.

A pox on all of you who did not alert me to the band French Vanilla. I had to find out about them from...gasp!...college radio.
Anyway, 'How Am I Not Myself?' is dope af. (And so is the s/t from two years ago.)
