odd but enjoyable video for the Daniel Caesar "Cyanide" remix, gives her verse the spotlight and reduces exposure to Caesar's questionable pas-tois (though I basically dig the song):

Apropos of her feature on the J Hus album:
when u hear the other tracks i did with her. KMT it’s looooooong ! https://t.co/M9stGiWj1y— JAE5 (@JAE5_) January 24, 2020

She is awesome on that track (outshines J Hus imo!). It's funny how very slowly her and Burna Boy are moving toward appearing on the same song together. V pleased about Jae5's involvement in her album, assuming that's what's being implied here
― rob, Sunday, 26 January 2020 15:42 (four years ago) link
So she won the Grammy last night, and coincidentally I happened to hear "Toast" on the radio and look her up right after she'd won. Late to the party, I know. Great track and the whole EP is good.

I made a joke on the Grammy thread, but it is genuinely cool that she won as I swear if there's a Marley nominated it literally always goes to them whoever the hell they are. Anyway: delighted you discovered Koffee

love the 70s studio rat sound on Rapture and absolutely love her vibe as a humanthe backup singers rule too
― rob, Tuesday, 28 January 2020 14:50 (four years ago) link
they softened Toast a bit too much for me, but I really dug "W"
― rob, Tuesday, 28 January 2020 14:54 (four years ago) link
Was W originally written for Rihanna? I always get that impression when I listen to it for some reason.

do you mean the lyrics?
― rob, Tuesday, 28 January 2020 22:06 (four years ago) link
Lyrics, melody, hip hop adjacent toned down reggae sound, gunna feature, etc. It all sounds like something she (and the team) might have attempted to write for Rihanna but used themselves when she (or her team) turned it down. But it's just a hunch, nothing more
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Tuesday, 28 January 2020 22:09 (four years ago) link
yeah I can kind of hear what you're hearing, though I think there might be a few too many word per bar for someone who's more of a singer than rapper. I have mentally filed that Rihanna "reggae" album under 'so not gonna happen' (of course I will be thrilled if it materializes)
― rob, Tuesday, 28 January 2020 22:12 (four years ago) link
Didn’t Rihanna “hire” her for exactly that purpose, or is that what you’re referring to?
― breastcrawl, Tuesday, 28 January 2020 22:38 (four years ago) link
yes there was a rumor (mentioned upthread iirc) about her being one of the many JA musicians said to be involved in the possibly mythical R9 "reggae" album
― rob, Tuesday, 28 January 2020 22:48 (four years ago) link
i am, as the kids say, "here" for a Rihanna/Koffee single in 2020
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 29 January 2020 00:09 (four years ago) link
Well yeahMore realistically I am already there for a Koffee/ Burna Boy collab
― rob, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 01:56 (four years ago) link
Koffee-free content, still relevant:Last night I dreamt I saw the new Rihanna video premiering on TV, and it was a South African-inspired dance track, supposedly amapiano, though from what I could pick up it didn’t really sound like that.
― breastcrawl, Wednesday, 29 January 2020 08:42 (four years ago) link
ha ha. W sounds like something someone like Koffee might have written if they wanted to make a 2020 Bitch better have my money/Work for her. If it was turned down it was probably because it's not as outright swaggy as those two are. But it's not too far off either. I'm sure Koffee would have added some words for her own version.Anyway, W is one of the serios growers of late 19. It didn't make too much of an impression on me at first but it has staying power. I suspect it will be with us until summer at the very least, unless she drops something bigger inbetween.

I'm enjoying how massively beloved she is by the rest of the music community too. Popcaan making a silent cameo in this video, Aidonia has a line in a new song: it's a celebration, Koffee play "Toast"

― rob, Friday, 31 July 2020 14:18 (three years ago) link
nice way of putting that it’s not as good as “Lockdown”!
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Friday, 31 July 2020 14:54 (three years ago) link
lol true, it's definitely just "solid"* while "Lockdown" is already one of my faves for the year.But I did also mean thematically it works as a mirror image of Lockdown's joy in freedom to touch, release from confinement, and being financially stable.
*tbrr though I'm glad she's still putting out straightforward reggae. As a genre partisan it's nice to have someone with such a high profile repping for it.
