    Got into Lissie through the amazing Twin Peaks musical performances. This is her new album. Excited.

    New Sleep album, first in decades, hath descended. Heavy enough to fall through my loungeroom floor alright.
    Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content.

    Listening to the Saba album as it's gotten really good feedback.
  • Will check the new Alela Diane out.  To Be Still and About Farewell are the one's I've got, used to listen to the former loads.  

    Always thought Lissie was talented but a bit inconsistent on the albums.  Her Jools Holland performance of Oh Mississippi doesn't seem to be on Youtube any more, otherwise I'd post that.  Terrific performance, great song.
  • Finally listened to new Kasey Musgraves and, oh my, it’s really rather excellent.

    Otherwise it’s Kid Moxie and Beck. Looking forward to seeing him next month so much.
  • Still can't get enough of this stunning, stunning album. Closes spectacularly, as heard here:

  • Now listening to:

    J. Cole - KOD

    Yv0WRzK.jpg

    Excited to hear this. He's got some talent and no mistake.
    "Given how long it's taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account."
  • Enjoyable album that. Not up there with his best but still solid throughout with some top lyrical work. Nice use of melody too.

    Now listening to:

    T-Pain - Oblivion

    iABWsHX.jpg

    I was sad to see the hilariously titled Stoicville cancelled, but I am still glad to see T-Pain back. He deserves way more respect than he gets in R&B circles. He was along with The-Dream one of the people to keep the genre alive during its fallow years. His use of autotuner as a vocoder/talk box style flourish is probably the most influential thing in R&B of the last decade.
    "Given how long it's taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account."
  • And a lot of rap too.
    "Given how long it's taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account."
  • Lovely production on this.
    "Given how long it's taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account."
  • This album is actually really fucking good. Glad to see it got a good review on Pitchfork to make up for the miserly one star review in The Guardian. Sounds fresh, but has the old T-Pain flavour in there too. Stands nicely alongside the new wave of Noir R&B. Lovely production, top level hooks.

    I particularly like this track with the underrated Ty Dolla Sign.

  • Now listening to:

    BJ The Chicago Kid - In My Mind

    YRLU9MY.jpg

    Shout out to one of my old friends Facewon for getting me on to this guy.
    "Given how long it's taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account."
  • Good God Lissie is great.
  • Did you see her perform in Twin Peaks? She killed it!
    "Given how long it's taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account."
  • Nope. Literally never heard of her until about 10 posts back.
  • Very very very Stevie vibes on her earlier stuff which put me off. Will try and remember to check this stuff out though.
  • Come with g if you want to live...
  • Not quite @TheDaddy of all performances, but good nonetheless:  



    The Jools one has been blocked everywhere.

    Werd. I was too quick to dismiss the second album, because I love the new jack/Mixtape feel of the first, but there's some good stuff.

    I assume you heard mr dukes album?
    I'm still great and you still love it.
  • I liked the first half of In My Mind quite a bit but it lost me after that.

    Is Mr Duke on Spotify?

  • Liking what I'm hearing of PnB Rock. Nice track here.

    Would guess so. Guest list is strong.

    Fuck me. I always do this. Mr Jukes artist. Album "God first"

    I'm still great and you still love it.
  • Also, if you're listening to j Cole, please tell me you hit Vic Mensa from last year? Also also, Joe budden: ordinary love shit. From a couple of years ago. Would have thought he's not usually your bag, but it's basically him baring soul about relationships over Sade beats. It's amazing.

    Thanks for the recs my friend. Will check them out tomorrow :) Watching all of Twin Peaks The Return today.

  • Actually fuck it, will listen now!

  • Just finishing listening to this album by PnB Rock:

    PnB Rock - Catch These Vibes

    aT0V2PC.jpg

    Not A+ Noir R&B, but a solid B-. Nice production and some memorable songs. I particularly liked iRun featuring Lil Yachty.
    "Given how long it's taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account."
  • Now listening to:

    Mr Jukes - God First

    4uMcgbN.jpg
    "Given how long it's taken for me to reconcile my nature, I can't figure I'd forgo it on your account."
  • Not sure what I think of that one. I enjoyed a couple of tracks but the overall sound wasn't that compelling to my ears.

    Now listening to:

    Lianne La Havas - Blood

    PiH73FR.jpg

    Was a big fan of her album Is Your Love Big Enough. Excited to hear this. Don't know how I missed it.
