Ok, here's a new playlist, just in time for #NYE. It kinda mixes together tempos, aka don't be scared off by Major Lazer's appearance early on. None of what I've included here is necessarily new, but it's all amazing and I die.
Some call-outs: Azealia Banks's Soda is literally the best thing ever; Taeyang's 1AM is in the mix for any K-Pop fans (if you like that and aren't familiar with the rest of his oeuvre you could check out Ringa Linga and then get sucked into the choreography videos that pop up afterwards); Future Brown is Fatima al Qadiri's "production supergroup" (The Fader), made up of her and J-Cush and Nguzunguzu, who produced some isht I love off Kelela's Cut 4 Me. Wanna Party sounds like it could've been a radio-friendly B-side off al Qadiri's solo effort, Asiatisch. Schoolboy Q's Collard Greens is so Outkast circa 2004 and Kendrick Lamar yaaaassss. But, for anyone who's been following this blog's music posts for the better part of the last year and a half (so, no one) I feel it's worth noting that Q's Man of the Year samples Chromatics' Cherry, which I blogged about in June '13. And just noticed now, almost a full year after Q's album came out. So...I'm sort of working the ahead of/behind the curve angles at the same time. Happy listening!
