My most listened to song of the year. I actually wasn’t super hot on it when I first heard it, which was when I heard it in my friend’s short film. (The film was great btw). And after I rewatched it at a film festival I listened to it exclusively throughout that next 3 day period. Even when I was on the plane back to my home state I was still only listening to the song. And still for the rest of the month and month after it was in my rotation. Just amazing work. The bass, the ... read more

EUSEXUA was my first introduction to FKA twigs, and it left a strong impression, even if it didn’t fully blow me away.

At over 60 minutes, it often feels more exhausting than profound, especially with songs like “THUNDRRR” or “I DREAM ABOUT SINKING,” which showcase ... read more
Playboi Carti’s Die Lit is often described as “junk food music”—simple, surface-level, and infectious—and while I usually brush off that kind of take, it’s honestly accurate in the best way. The album is like a perfectly run burger joint: fast, loud, and confidently aware of what it is, with psychedelic trap beats from Pi’erre Bourne and endlessly catchy flows and ad-libs that somehow never wear out their welcome. Tracks like “Lean 4 Real,” ... read more
