3029641, New Release Friday - 2021-01-08
Posted by thebigfunk, Fri Jan-08-21 12:03 PM
What's out today?

Not a lot jumping out but I did see:

a full-length from Jazmine Sullivan w/A.Paak and HER on features

a three-track single from Rhye ("Come In Closer")

Barry Gibb (yes, that Barry Gibb) has a new "with Friends" type of album called Greenfields: the Gibb Brothers' Songbook vol. 1 --- probably pretty MOR but a nice set of guests on the country/americana end of things

Gotta be more out there...

saw it was mostly covers and decided to skip. let me know what you think if you check it out.

i listened to some singles, nao and dvsn both dropped good ones. checked out the griselda soundtrack, eh. on that jazmine right now, sounding good.

I haven't listened straight through but have had it come up on my shuffle. It's about what you'd expect: pretty polished studio takes on classic BeeGees tunes but with a bit of a country twist. Most of them so far have been perfectly fine but haven't wowed me. The guest list is great though so I do want to give it a more proper listen.

This is really really good. I need to spend more time with it but first listen through I was very impressed. It got BNM'd on Pitchfork which is good exposure for her; she's been grinding for a while, I'm glad she's getting some shine.

....apparently this was a 7" for record store day but I missed out. Fortunately it got released digitally too.

This is "Black Coffee In Bed"
