<COPINGMECHANISM> by Willow
Review: A BIG step from her previous work. Great vocal performances,
Fav songs: All, but top 3 for me are <maybe> it's my fault, <Coping Mechanism> and Falling Endlessly
Final thoughts: I have more respect for Willow after this. Great work!
NOT TiGHT by DOMi & JD Beck
Review: Prodigy kids who can produce and get big collaborations on their debut jazz-funk album. Not bad.
Fav songs: LOUNA'S iNTRO, WHATUP, SMiLE, TAKE A CHANCE, SPACE MOUNTAiN, WHOA
Final thoughts: They can play, but their songs are not too catchy, sometimes they feel monotonous. Look at Chick Corea, Snarky Puppy or Anderson. Paak, they can make high complexity music that we will get stuck in our heads forever. I wish I could listen to this live
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers by Kendrick Lamar
Review: It's a grower.
Fav songs: N95, Die Hard, Father Time, We Cry Together, Count Me Out, Mr. Morale
Final thoughts: Didn't live up to the hype at first listen, but it grew on me a lot after many listenings. Kendrick is still the GOAT
