I posted this in rolling r&b, but it belongs here too (great new track):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4t37sXE_N0

^I can't stop listening to this on repeat - I think there's something wrong w/me

it's good but i don't love it in the same way that i've loved much of her previous work

It’s not objectively exceptional but somehow it has its hooks deep in me; I have to ride it out until I tire of it somehow!

I'm the opposite of ufo - I like this a great deal more than anything else I've heard from her

Yeah, I wasn't particularly a fan before ("Headaches" notwithstanding) – but this new song seems to have been lab-grown (...as they say) to produce an addictive response in me. I'm spinning it again today...

something kind of scary is I like it even more the more I listen to it... even the parts that seemed a little weak before (like the pre-chorus and outro) are now a-ok with me
it's kind of "90s," I guess, but I don't know what specifically it reminds me of. "No Scrubs"?

New song! (nearly a year later) – not sure it really plays to her strengths as a singer, but I like it:

Jamming the new album (Asha's Awakening) – it's really good! Any Raveena fans left up in here(??)

In the queue for later. Did like the new singles.

Even the "Guided Meditation" track at the end is good stuff (the only bummer: no physical media option, or even download... album seems to be streaming-only).

Not true in the US at least -- $8 through iTunes.

Ah, thx... well, I don't do iTunes. (I guess she falls in that gap of artists who are too major-label for Bandcamp, but not big enough for their label to press a CD)

In any event, very nice listen all around. Didn't expect "Mystery."
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 12 February 2022 22:21 (two years ago) link
Yes! That’s a highlight

7digital is where you want to go to buy mp3s from artists that aren't on bandcamp

this album is good but not as special as her debut
― ufo, Sunday, 13 February 2022 01:56 (two years ago) link
I agree her debut is special, but it's so mellow as to be near somnambulant. I am glad she has gotten into beats & "tempo" (to a degree)

(thx for 7digital, btw... never heard of that. Sometimes I'll buy digital to "support the artist" if there's no CD option, much as I dislike MP3s)
