New Music Friday!

[nolalady]

This Jenny Hval y'all, I'm two tracks in and this is great.

 

[Twentytwo]

One of my absolute favorite artists and his newest single is amazing. New album comes out in a couple of weeks.

 

[Twentytwo]

Another song I absolutely love. Caroline has one of my most favorite voices of all time and she is a brilliant lyricist. Her new album comes out in late April.

The more I listen to the new Ghost album the more I like it It may be their most accessible album to date but it's also their most fun, melodic, hook-laden, catchy guitar riffing arena rock LP in their discography!

I feel the same way. In case it wasn’t obvious, I’m a huge Ghost fan.

I’ve listened to it three times, and I think I love it. Is it super cheesy and over the top? Uh, yeah. But that’s Ghost, and it’s not going to be for everyone. I do miss the spooky, occult and overtly Satanic themes of their early stuff, but this album is seriously a blast.

I am going to enjoy this new iteration of one of my favorite bands, and I look forward to where they go next.

[Bluecloud777]

I'm enjoying the new Lucky Daye album "Candydrip". It's a good mixture of R&B, Soul and Hip Hop.

 

[Ericj32]

I'm always on the fence with Alex Cameron, liking the music but having a hard time connecting with the lyrics. There's a certain bite to them that's never quite funny and that has made me uncomfortable in the past. Nothing wrong with that in terms of art, but not necessarily something I go back to.

Yeah I agree. I liked his last album “Miami Memory” because the songs were really catchy. On a first listen, this new one isn’t really grabbing me as much. The only song that really stood out for me was “Dead Eyes.” His music is in a weird spot where the music is so light and fluffy but the lyrics are so dark - you can’t really put it on as a pick-me-up, but it sounds too cheesy to really be a good moody, cathartic listen either. Also his delivery of the lyrics is so casual that it kind of undermines the weight of the heavy themes and sometimes kind of comes off like he’s just referencing these things to make his yacht rock sound more edgy. If it sounds like I kind of hate listening to his music, yeah, I guess maybe that’s true haha. But “Miami Memory” as a song (and many other songs on that album) was just so catchy and groovy that I could tune out the lyrics and just enjoy.

 

[Bluecloud777]

Another album released this week that I hadn't on my release list and didn't see mentioned elsewhere is BOYO "Echoes like memories". It's a good Indie album with melodic songs. He also has released pretty good albums in the past like the 2016 album "Control".

 

[avecigrec]

This one is already on Spotify, really enjoyed the dance energy on the album.

Thanks for pointing out the new YĪN YĪN is already out. I've just listened to it and agree it's a very good album.

Finally listened on my way into work today - super cool stuff.
