affirmations & incantations: thraed of AMAARAE

Co-Star just clicked. WHOA

I'm very late to the party but ditto, I just had to pay attention to the production and rhythms. The mix of harp, horns, pop rap, r&b is dazzling, bubbling, seductive, fun. It has the charm of the wild and unexpected invention, the cohesion of being all over the place and occupying all corners, but also the focus and the flair and the sharpness. So many highlights.

that tiny desk concert just upthread is a great way to hear the underlying song structures, it offers a really cool lens on the album

had to give my amaarae ticket for next week away because i won’t be around ;_;

otoh i did give it to someone whose final day was today and she was delighted so i got a good vibe off it.
