Getting this up earlier than usual as it looks like a pretty decent week on a lot of fronts. Going to have a lot to listen to while working today, easy.
That new Silk Sonic (Mars/Paak) debut single.
Big Pooh - What Was Lost vol. 2
Denzel Curry - Unlocked 1.5 (Remixes)
A number of things on the indie front: a new single from St Vincent ahead of her forthcoming "Daddy's Home"; new albums from Andrew Bird, Of Montreal
Another single from Valerie June (!)
And that's just the surface... what's everyone looking for?

Weird to hear that “J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League” drop on a Justus League rapper’s song on “Go”. Felt like worlds were colliding, lol. That song is great IMO.
Seinfeld f/ Phonte is predictably a highlight. Wish the hook hit one more time though. Felt like they left the meeting on a high note like Costanza, lol.
Land of Milk and Honey? Love that one too. Focus...does such great work for Pooh and LB.
Really liked the opening track -- didn't pay too much attention yet to the rest (but the cut with Phonte was definitely strong).
But yeah, losing my religion hit *just* right -- I've been digging into Pooh's solo work more the last few weeks and as an emcee he really is in top form right now.

Definitely a fun week. Other things I'm planning to check out:
Kings of Leon - When You See Yourself. Not a stan but always interested to hear what they put together -- the singles have been really good.
Photay - On Hold. I first found Photay around the time of his last album, Waking Hours -- not sure how to describe his sound as a producer but the few songs from the new lp that I've heard so far are a bit more ambient in style.
Adrian Younge - The American Negro -- this was actually out last week. 26 tracks in 52 minutes; I think some of them are spoken word. Pitchfork review was... not good, lol... fwiw.
New remix of Brittany Howard's "Stay High" called "Stay High Again"
