ANY FANS?

this got 8.7 on Pitchfork and I feel sure some of you will love. she reminds me vocally a lot of Ravyn Lenae, and musically there's a bit of Doja Cat and various alt-R&B faves. her production is fire, very genre-blending.



Co-star (WHAT A SONG!!!) is what Attention by Doja wants to be.



she's queer/gay too so let's celebrate that!

I need to listen again. I'd never heard of her but gave her a go after Spotify suggested and thought at first it was a pleasant enough RnB number, then the album took a TURN and I was really interested. Definitely plan to give it another go with that in hindsight.

DEFINITELY very Doja. But I AIN'T MAD. I'm so glad soft R&B is back. Part of the reason I couldn't stand the 2010s is because everybody kept on plastering rancid TRAP production on R&B tunes. I much prefer this newer trend of Afrobeats, which Doja has championed quite well.

I'll try again another day, but when I listened a few nights ago I had a hard time with her voice

 

[Jark]

it's unusual but push through @RJN hun!

the run of songs from Wasted Eyes to Come Home to God is UNREAL! the soundscapes she's playing in - so lush and textured, impossible to pin down to a genre. incredible production that's gonna be rewarded with a lot of listens from me I think.

Sociopathic Dance Queen and Come Home to God

Wasted Eyes is definitely a highlight

Come Home to God is VERY 2005

Come Home to God is VERY 2005

there really are no words for how incredible this song is. the album gets stronger as it goes on, it's an experience.

Counterfeit is so good. Love the use of that sample. Need to check out the rest of this album.
