Solange - When I Get Home

A: Solange
S: When I Get Home

Let's wrap up this year with the most stunning visual work released during the last 12 months, the most captivating concert tour of 2019 and my favorite album that didn't appear on any Spotify list. When I Get Home is a love-letter to Solange’s home town, Houston, Texas, and is narrated by various African-American women whom she grew up with. The album is a mixture of R&B, the Houston style of chopped and screwed hip-hop, and cosmic jazz. 

... dreams, they come a long way, not today.

Tame Impala - Posthumous Forgiveness

A: Tame Impala
S: Posthumous Forgiveness

Posthumous Forgiveness is the third single from Tame Impala’s fourth studio record, The Slow Rush. The song features Parker speaking on his deceased father, with whom Kevin had an estranged relationship due to his parents' early divorce. The first half of the track features a funk heavy bass line reminiscent of Innerspeaker, while the second half features a wall of synths similar to those on Currents. Relate below.

... what a thing to discover, there was time to recover.

Tierra Whack - Whack World

A: Tierra Whack
S: Whack World

Whack World is a conceptual album made of 15 songs of 1 minute each, released with a single music video with different sets that contains every song on the project. Both the songs and the video confirm Tierra’s aesthetic and style, while at the same time being various and creative.

... I'll light to you in a thousand dice.

La Grande Sophie - Une Vie

A: La Grande Sophie
S: Une Vie

La Grande Sophie c’est cette artiste française qui fait de la simplicité une grande beauté, qui emporte avec elle le public qui lui offre quatre albums certifiés Or et qui continue cette année à distiller sa pop à la française en annonçant son neuvième album. Cet album c’est Cet Instant (sorti le 13 septembre), comme pour marquer le temps qui passe, qui se fige parfois, qui fait nos vies. Et c’est justement Une Vie qui s’affiche pour défendre cet opus, un titre marqué par la forte présence du piano, ou le rythme s’accélère comme les battement de nos cœurs. La Grande Sophie nous parle du temps qui passe, nous rappelle qu’il faut savoir profiter de chaque instant de vie.

... des chagrins on en a plein.

This new collection includes the single Can I Call You Tonight as well as fresh tracks Nicknames and Listerine.

... writing a verse is worse than you think.

Tennis - Runner

Indie-pop duo Tennis - made up of husband and wife team Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore - have announced their fifth album Swimmer, which is out on Valentine’s Day 2020. The news arrives with a single, Runner, their first new music in almost three years that sounds as fresh as ever. A romantic, groovy synth explosion that puts Moore’s soprano on full display. Cardio below.

... If I become a pillar of salt, I’ll know that it was all my fault.

A: Grimes
S: So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth

Grimes has released a new song, So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth, the latest single from her upcoming album Miss_Anthropocene, which still does not have a release date. It’s purportedly the third single that will be included on the album. So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth is an airy and dark six-and-a-half-minute dirge. Grimes has shared two different versions of it - the full-length Art Mix and the shorter Algorithm Mix.

... cus I’m full of love for you.
