making sure he dont survive, thats what we double back for

i can confirm that the nba youngboy feature is exactly where music peaked as an artform.

if you've ever listened to a Polo G song prior to this then you've already heard this album. that's not necessarily a bad thing, quite a number of artists have been known to not deviate all too much from a working formula for the most part.

here we get the earworming - albeit simple - melodies, decent to good production, and stellar features (Wayne might as well reserve all rights to Gang Gang) that the Chicago native's music can always be depended on for.

the runtime is my main issue with ... read more

ive never met this guy but, fuck, i miss him too

well, shit... exceeded all of my expectations.

sensual neo-R&B with subtle flurries. doesnt pack the punch that would take it to an easy 90 for me but certainly worth revisiting.

J. Cole is a very good rapper, so it's quite puzzling that it took him this long to give us a full length album that attests to that.

P.S. when you hear that female r&b sample in the back you know he's about to give you a lot of information.

making-omelette-on-sunday-morning album. ethereal voice and production combination do a lot to invoke a calmness to the listener but plateaus to a monotone as the project runs on just a tad bit longer than it needs to.

the delicacy of Folklore, the earworming hooks that she's always been known for, the intimate lyricism that has perhaps been her greatest strength over the course of a helluva career. it's all here, as consistent as it has never been before. i can't fault it, not now, not then, perhaps not ever.

the subject matter is neither relatable nor interesting to me but the sonic presentation of this thing coupled witn her undeniable vocal and lyrical prowess makes this a very solid r&b offering. looking forward to her album.

edit: spelling error

her energy is undeniable

greatest artist since da vinci

hear me out here... carly rae jepsen invented music.

musical stroke

maybe we should all go home
