When I Get Home by Solange

Here’s another fabulous relatively new pop artist. Beautiful superbly crafted and perfectly produced. Soulful.

Bandana by Freddie Gibbs and Madlib

It’s not genre stretching or pioneering but it’s exceptionally effective at being what it sets out to be. Very focused and soulful.

I'll definitely try to get into it a few more times. It's always suspicious when I not only don't like something so universally acclaimed but don't even get what other people seem to like about it. Might point to me missing something.

A lot of artists in here that I need to start listening to. Solange, FKA Twigs and Conway The Machine.

Right on y’all

This next one got great reviews from the critics but a lukewarm reception here.

Proto by Holly Herndon

Quality art pop in keeping with the long standing tradition of excellent releases on 4AD

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

This guy has put out so much great music so consistently it’s hard to wrap your head around. He’s the real deal, people. Always has been.

Remind Me Tomorrow by Sharon Van Etten

Emotionally direct art pop. This has that sound that made 2016 such a special year if you know what sound I mean.

Origin EP by kelly moran

This is mostly rooted in contemporary classical with softening hints of ambient.

An Exploitative Version of Surrogacy by Francesco Leali, Heith, and Puce Mary

https://puce-mary.bandcamp.com/album...n-of-surrogacy

Experimental noise with a cornucopia of interesting and peculiar sounds to sink your gray matter into.
