“This album brings to light the strength and endurance of us as HUMANS. A personal journey and documentation of most of the obstacles we have faced as we have moved from 2 different worlds and how we have overcome these struggles through the freedomof art and music through a firm connection with our roots and culture. It's music from our soul telling stories how we were told growing up and merging grooves and African rhythms to exhibit the spirit of AFRICA in relation to where we are in the diaspora” - K.O.G

damn sounds wild
i never dipped into these genres gonna give it a try soon

I'm very picky about albums in this genre xD not a lot of newer records this good I know of tbh

But if you just go in with an open mind and try to focus on the songwriting/instrumentation on first listen then you'll find more to like about it

Frozen 2 soundtrack

Solid

yandhi finally and i understand the jik meltdowns now

Starboy
7/10
A good chunk of it is filler (attention, true colors, stargirl interlude,love to lay,ordinary life) . Some of them songs are a bit corny and try-hard to be full on pop. But the rest of the tracks are good

I liked the first two songs more than I thought I would lmao

Nice to see Mariah the Scientist on the tracklist too! Other than that song the solo songs were much more enjoyable. 21 songs were just too much for me, quickly becomes redundant and pointless. A great improvement on what I've heard from him before nonetheless.

4.5/10

loved the ambient vibe on this one

the ghost has no home >>

real one!

Are you done with the discog yet?

no i still have like 3 albums left

Oh, nice! that album is p hard for some people to get into glad you liked it.

I've been bumping this all weekend and this morning too!

still trying to form a solid statement on it but I love what I'm hearing from Bowie going into this 80s decade

classic album. this is the one i was getting into and actually was in the middle of listening to when I found out he died

Damn 😣

Classic album indeed, how did you find the change/progression in sound compared to the trilogy he did with Eno?

i like it a lot because its more 80s 'new wave/pop' style like Let's Dance without fully going in that direction, if that makes sense. also with better production and instrument sound (especially drums) imo than Let's Dance

outstanding instrumentation especially all the guitar from Fripp. especially on Teenage Wildlife, where it recalls some of Heroes sound which is awesome

i think it's less consistent than the Berlin trilogy albums though. imo the 1st half is like a 9 and the 2nd is a 7.5 lol. Ashes to Ashes will always be in my top 5 songs from him but the 4 songs following it are my least favorite on the album

Crystal Japan is a nice gem from that era too if you havent heard. Trent Reznor accidentally ripped it off on Downward Spiral

Jodeci - diary of a mad band
Jodeci - forever my lady
Mary j - my life
Mary j - what's the 411 (fav rnb album oat)
Lyfe Jennings- lyfe 268 192
Jaheim- still ghetto
Jill Scott- who is jill Scott (second favorite rnb album)
John legend ' get lifted
Musiq soulchild - Juslisen

Swear I ain't in my feelings I just love rnb

Le$ - time attack
Larry June- product of the dope game

Oh and

arri Lennox - shea butter baby

confessions on a dance floor - madonna

Swv - new beginning

Let me tell you sumn

Use your heart - where is the love - fine time
