i've known tinashe's music for, 10 years now?
anyways, when i was a teen, i was a big fan of loreena mckennitt, sopor aeternus and other medieval-esque acts.
what many ppl don't seem to figure when listening to tinashe is how her melodies are deeply influenced by medieval folk music. mainly the music that came from the moors or whatever, those who aren't afraid to dwindle between minor chords (i don't even know if chords were a thing back then, i'm using this to signal what i'm talking about).
I love the very beginning where Treason becomes a folk song, as it should be. I love that she chose to perform Unconditional, which is my favorite track from 333. I love how the percussionists incorporates the Rhythm of Give It To Me by Timabaland on 2 On and i love how it sounds.

Something about Chromakopia by Tyler, the Creator gives this a mature and jazz feel to it. I couldn’t help but bop my head at every rhythm this man put into this album. Especially with this track with Lola Young. Having a breakout artist on your track is so refreshing to see and will make me definitely stream her music going forward!

Slow Train Coming, Saved, Shot of Love
All pretty good to great. People get caught up on some weird production choices, and the in-your-face sincerity. And maybe there are moments of condescension and righteous anger.… but I’m not religious and I think “Every Grain of Sand,” and “Pressing On” are some of the best things he ever wrote. Plus I really love “Heart of Mine”

my friend recommended his song “Carthage” to me a couple years ago and since then, his name’s been on my radar but i never really took the time to properly dive into his discography until tonight. the weather getting cooler here has me craving the lush and warm sonic landscape of guitar music and this album is just what i’ve been looking for. it’s some of the most magical music i’ve heard in a long time…
i also recommend wholeheartedly thanking your friends for music recommendations that you really resonate with, even if you listen to it years after they recommend it, and even if thanking them sounds or seems sappy. recommending music is such a special and sacred thing and i always like to hear when someone connects with something i‘ve sent them, whether i talk to this person every day or once every few years. sharing music is choosing to love and we should spread that love all around, all the time <3

FKA Rodrigo Xuxa, Apresentador became nationally known for imitating Xuxa, one of Brazil's biggest stars (i'm Brazillian btw). Time went by and he decided to build his own identity. Nowadays, he hosts a youtube show called 'Rodrigo Show', where he talks about himself, his perception of things, his life story, his taste on men, fashion, food... summing it up, himself.
