I can't stop listening to this song. Jazz's voice, in the beginning, is beautiful and Sisqo is so damn soulful. I still don't know what Case actually did on this song.

hi. thank you for the recommendation! just a few songs into the link shared but first listen love on "commitment." it is bilingual and it is quite wonderful.☺β™₯

luna luna β€” "commitment" (2019)

undertow by goapele is one of my favorite r&b tracks of the 10s. Could say that about the first three songs on break of dawn tho. I just listened again and my immediate thought was wow i bet the producer of frank oceans 'pyramids' lifted this full stop for the 2nd half of that song. checked it out and... its the same producer.

β€œUndertow” is so so great, and β€œPlay”, wow…

never knew about the β€œPyramids” connection

β€œPlay” not produced by Malay tho - but I see he also did Lorde’s β€œSupercut” - and that his first stand-alone production work was for… Danity Kane and Day26 #onethread

corrs unplugged, Friday, 2 September 2022 10:48 (one year ago) link

stretching the parameters of r&b to the utmost there, but that’s a brilliant track. I was in fact totally obsessed with it at the time, pun not intended at all.

ethel beatty - "it's your love" (1981)

two months pass...

one of the more niche things that stones throw ever did was the soul cal label, which was reissues of disco obscutities from southern california. i paid attention to the first couple releases, but it eventually got lost in the shuffle. revisiting now; highly recommend across the board. a more disco-fied eccentric soul kind of vibe. really hitting the spot.

luther davis - "you can be a star" (1982)

someone you'll probably only ever hear about on this thread: Chitlin Circuit Double-entendre-filled Soul 2004 (and onward) Theodis Ealey's "Stand Up In It" is a song of the year
