Malcolm Todd - Do That Again
71

Taking more hints from the world of R&B and soul's jazzy chord palette, Do That Again expands Malcolm Todd's horizons, mostly.

Marvin Gaye - Midnight Love
83

Marvin Gaye knows what he's doing on Midnight Love.

Björk - Debut
60

Alt-dance-pop for Death Grips listeners.

Curtis Mayfield - Curtis
95

This is almost as good as soul and funk gets.

Solange - A Seat at the Table
72

I can't really decide with this one. Innofensive modern pop-soul. There's a lot and really not a lot going on here at the same time.

The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico
60

Artsy, cool- but I believe it's cultural impact overshadows the actual music. Outside of a few deft experimentations, there's not really anything going on here.

Death Grips - No Love Deep Web
69

"Come up and get me!" they say, while simultaneously trailblazing the next generation of alternative hardcore artists.

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
90

Deft sampling, full of texture, and most importantly loaded with energy.

Dijon - Baby
90

It took a while to comprehend how I felt about this project- but yet again- Dijon manages to create such a surreal sound that the words to correctly explain it just don't exist.

MIKE - Beware of the Monkey
90

One of MIKE's finest moments. 'Stop Worry!' is genuinely one of his best songs.

MIKE, Wiki & The Alchemist - Faith Is a Rock
57

It's great. But there's nothing to this release that makes it notable in any form.

PlaqueBoyMax - LONDON
70

Some strong standouts on LONDON.

PlaqueBoyMax - Five Forever
30

PlaqueBoyMax has no idea what he's doing on Five Forever.

Jordan Ward - FORWARD
90

Jordan Ward effortlessly moves you through 14 tracks that all feel like they were written in the same font, on the same day, at the same temperature. (In the best way possible)

MIKE - Showbiz!
68

Nothing out of the ordinary for MIKE.

MIKE - Burning Desire
70

Strong lines, deft sampling; MIKE can make a great record, but not without at least a little bit of bloat.

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
90

An institution of jazz-rap, it's hard to picture modern day artists within this area without The Low End Theory as their predecessor.

Stevie Wonder - Talking Book
100

Stevie Wonder manages to write some of the most iconic soul music of all time. A release that feels consistent, with his trademark funky-synth-fuckery over otherwise completely traditional tunes. Timeless.

Kevin Abstract - ARIZONA BABY
89

A socially aware release that's able to have fun whilst tackling more serious issues.

Kevin Abstract - Blanket
59

Kevin Abstract has no direction or clue what he's doing on Blanket.
