Dot Da Genius - Talk About Me (feat. Kid Cudi, Denzel Curry, JID)
https://youtu.be/86e7ORFoFVk
Not familiar with Dot Da Genius, but this showed up on my Spotify Release Radar playlist because of Denzel. I don't follow Cudi and didn't realize it was him until I looked at the song info, but I enjoyed everyone's verses.

Enjoy the jazzy production on songs like "GHOTI," "NAOMI," and the title track even if that style doesn't really excite me these days. "SEATTLE" stood out the most after the first listen.

>Soccer Mommy - Sometimes, Forever
I've enjoyed the singles for this new one. The drumming and shoegaze/dream pop elements for "Shotgun," especially during the hook, really work for me. Parts of the production on "Unholy Affliction" remind me of Radiohead around Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief, but the start of the second verse sounds very Portishead-y, which I thought sounded good too. I just learned that Daniel Lopatin produced the album, which explains things. Need more time with the non-singles before forming an opinion.
