New Music Friday!

[RowBearToe]

A thread to post about new music being released each week. Things you like, are excited about, hated, whatever.

Last week I really loved Jamila Woods - LEGACY! LEGACY! And reading her track by track breakdown on Pitchfork really brought a new light to the album and how it was written. Very cool concept album!

Jamila Woods Breaks Down Every Song on Her New Album, LEGACY! LEGACY!

The Chicago artist’s deeply referential second LP pays tribute to legends like Eartha Kitt, James Baldwin, and Muddy Waters.

Tomorrow there are some really interesting new releases from The National, Tyler, The Creator, DJ Khaled and others. Should be a good week!

Excited for the FlyLo now that I've come to terms with his newer albums being very feature-heavy. I have to get around to listening to that Jamila Woods record, I've heard nothing but praise.

I'm excited for Tyler the Creator and Flying Lotus coming out soon

I think I'm early on Fly Lo, saw tomorrow but also seeing next week. I'm thinking it's the 24th? But yeah, check Jamila out and read the track by track for sure! Another great album recommended to me by this community that I likely wouldn't have listened to otherwise.

OH! That’s novel! I’m going to have to check that out too!

Both Tyler, The Creator and Carly Rae Jepsen's albums are amoung my top for the year, it was a very good week for new music. Not usually my thing but I quite enjoyed the new The National too.

In the midst of all the flashier releases, I forgot that the new Alex Lahey album is out today. Sick!

Yeah and that, I think I liked it more than her first. If anyone is a bit cold on her, I'd check out some live clips, shes super tight which I don't think you would usually get in her genre.

Slipknot single dropped last night.
Apart from the strange intro on the song it was a great track!

 

[Taevis]

Honestly, I think the new Tyler album is his worst one yet. I’m really disappointed. I can respect what he’s doing, but it’s not for me.

 

[RowBearToe]

I really want to listen to the new releases this week, but I just can't. stop. listening. to Jamila Woods haha

 

[zombie.modernist]

IMO Igor is the first Tyler album that really grabbed me, ever. And I was one of the early fans of the "yonkers" video, just never felt like he was tolerable across a whole LP. I do think I never gave Flower Boy a very full chance, but I did like it enough overall. This to me is just a great LP, love the dense cloudy production and vocal effects. The progress Earl and Tyler have made recently is pretty great.

 

[Memo]

I'm enjoying the Tyler, The Creator's new album.. but the noisy/dirty record noise is making me cringe. I want to take a brush and go over the track a few times

Edit: Also, huge The National fan, so I'm enjoying that as well

Afro-Caribbean rhythms and space disco apparently, it's pretty good.

WHY THE STICKY PUDDING IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS NEW STEVE LACY!!?!?!?!

(also I’ve always wondered is there some kind of thread just for talking about R&B, Soul, Funk)
