this is production mastery, an ode to life and a love letter to music. nujabes believed to his very core that music shouldn’t be about money, just creativity, passion and love. if you can’t hear that in these instrumentals then you won’t hear it anywhere else.
perfect. soft and gentle, passionate and powerful.
(don’t EVER translate the lyrics to Ojalá, worst mistake of my life)
this thing is insane on first listen oh my god it’s so good
a genuinely perfect pop song. i just get caught up in the flow of it and the chorus is so undeniable
the opening track hit me like a train. amazing song, amazing album
relistening go make peace with the fact that Quaranta will not be nearly as good as this. an untouchable modern masterpiece
if this was called F•E•#•mo•♾️ •tion by Carlyspeed Rae Black Jepsen it’d be rated so much higher. Pop masterpiece
how the fuck has hayloft got nearly half a billion streams that shit hurts to listen to. woeful album that has somehow attained a cult following
