Not sure I agree with this. I think it's where hip hop music is going.I’ve got a feeling that Feel The Love from Kids See Ghosts will age really, really badly. I’m mainly talking about the Kanye brapping part. I don’t hate the song, it’s a bit of fun, but a few years won’t be kind to it.
Lol. Regardless of your personal opinion of him, this couldn't be much further off the mark.Yeah, honestly I'd rather listen to Scorpion than most of that Wyoming stuff (which is saying something). The Nas was nadir-esque as well. Predictably so, Kanye is done.
Endless. It was remastered and officially released this year. Has slipped under the radar a bit, but definitely worth a listen. Quite comfortably better than the 2016 version IMO. Thankfully the garbage Apple track is gone too.Frank Ocean?
Curious to see what everyone would list as favourite albums for the year now that we're almost at the halfway point?
As much as I like the latest Gurrumul album (very much), I still prefer his stripped back style that was more prominent on the debut album.I think my top 10 for the year would be (in no order):
Gurrumul
Tropical **** Storm
KIDS SEE GHOSTS
Pusha T
Melody's Echo Chamber
Frank Ocean
Donny Benet
Death Grips
Sons of Kemet
FLOWERTRUCK
Too many honourable mentions to list. I have so much non-Australian stuff to catch up on though.
Fair enough. I think his stripped back stuff is superb too, but think the new record does a fantastic job of offering spellbinding and atmospheric compositions without detracting from his vocals - it's the best of both worlds for me. That being said, I completely understand why someone would prefer the stripped back style.As much as I like the latest Gurrumul album (very much), I still prefer his stripped back style that was more prominent on the debut album.
Huh, forgot all about the album. Very solid. Don't think it'll be in my favourites of the year, but there's some very strong material on there. One Rizla and Angie were the two standouts for me, but I'll have to revisit it.Pretty late to the party but Shame's Songs of Praise is excellent. Think I tried it the week of release and it didn't stick, but I've got the hooks in now.
I have to hear it again, but I thought it was solid.The new album from Devon Welsh is tremendous. It's not a massive step away from his work with Majical Cloudz, but a larger variety of instruments and tempo than gives it a breath of fresh air. Would go and see him in a heartbeat if he ventures to Australia
Slides straight into my top three albums of the year, with Beach House and Tropical **** Storm.
Your thoughts on it?Very excited for the new Blood Orange album.
