Lupe Fiasco 'Lasers'

and

The Black Keys album (April release?). I quote: "Everything that you’ve read so far about this album, about it being heavy and dark, their best record yet, that’s not spin, that’s not jive, those were honest assessments from people who were involved ... This record can be summed up very very easily: they are more emotionally raw than they’ve ever been captured ... If they could get as tactile, and raw, I mean really to the point where you’re right there within feet of their craziness and feel the heat of that craziness I would have done my job."

Ecstatic. This is possibly the most important Keys album in the wake of the mainstream success of A&R, and after the exposure from the Blakroc collab.

Oooh, this will be very interesting. I thought Attack & Release was their strongest to date, I hope they manage to gain more recognition without 'selling out'

Yeah, that was my concern with the Blakroc project, that they might inch away from the music and more towards just gaining fans. A&R- initially loved it, then went on to dislike it, now I've grown to enjoy it quite a bit. Not too familiar with a lot of Mark Neill's production, but he and Dan did well on Auerbach's "Keep It Hid" solo effort... From what I've read, sounds like they're keeping the newer style of incorporating keyboards and other instruments on this album. Expands their sound from the basic guitar-drums. Definitely interesting, and I'm definitely STOKED!
