Gonna try and be like a true MB resident: *ahem* "If you don't like this, I don't like you."
Doe Paoro - Loose Plans

Pretty basic old school r&b stuff. I would be lynched for this if anyone really noticed, but I feel like contemporary artists working in classic styles have more solid songs on average. Like the albums, even if nothing innovative, are more solid than the albums from the time where these styles were first pioneered. Hindsight gives you a lot of material and inspiration to work with. It's like contemporary genre artists often manage to laser focus and get rid of all the tripe. Just memorable tunes front to back. Most music geeks say the first bands in a style are the best. I say they're the worst*. Haven't actually heard this album in full, but I'm basically saying that I feel like it's probably solid overall.
*: There's a lot more to say there. It's too big a topic for this space and I already think I shouldn't have said it.
