You’ll probably run into Sef & Dio. I see them at so many ‘smaller’ venues in Amsterdam lol

But after watching time
Beating up on him
I can’t leave
And after calling his line
And hanging up on him
I can’t leave
I can’t leave
I can’t leave…
Why did she leave man
Haven't listened to this (been working through all of the other releases from this week)
yet "Baby!" has been in my head all damn day
how long until you land? okay... cause we're waitin' for you, babyyy
real music.
Irony culture ruined the way folks used to parody music man.
Brown Sugar (1995) -> Voodoo (2000)
channel Orange (2012) -> Blonde (2016)
Absolutely (2021) -> Baby (2025)
Super interesting that all of these debut R&B albums were more traditional/contemporary in approach, then followed up 4-5 years later by an experimental/unconventional artistic statement
Is there a 2000s equivalent of this?
I was reading some of his old interviews and he mentioned this back in 2022 while promoting Absolutely
That’s why I’m so hard on myself, because I know I have to dig in. I know where I’m at and I know where I think it could be. I always tell people, “Give me five years, I guarantee it will be batshit.” The ultimate ambition is making your Laughing Stock, your Kid A, your Voodoo. A complete new language. For me, unfortunately, the only way to do that is in real time, where you see it happening. I don’t know if it’s my next album or it might be three albums on, but eventually there will be a new entry point into music, because there has to be. This will change it, I guarantee it. But it takes time! And it takes you bumping your head.
I mean...it's kinda facts lol
finally got to listen to this and it’s absolutely incredible. so many interesting soundscapes to digest. Two Star & the Dream Police from last year and both Swag and Baby from this year really are produced so well and is what the music landscape is desperately needing. definitely going to try and hit up the Detroit show and will continue to have this album on repeat the rest of the year.

so cool he mentions Laughing Stock, makes sense he draws inspo from that blueprint, and why his music is so singular and ahead of his peers

Yeah, he's got a wide range of influences and takes his craft very seriously. You can tell he puts a lot into his projects.
it's interesting to me that a lot of folks find the production choices on here unfitting, bizarre even. i think it's all so tight and works so well together. it's been a thrill every time i've listened.
Grown love music
