I didn't review the first Wicked movie for some reason, but make no mistake, I'm back for the sequel. Yep, time to dig into Wicked: For Good - enjoy! youtu.be/nj0kLyeWqyI
Alright, Billboard BREAKDOWN is late, but I have to talk about AI, ROSALIA, Kehlani, and Cody Johnson covering 'Travelin' Soldier'. What I'm saying is that it's a lot - enjoy! youtu.be/h9VhcthLQw8
And finishing the trio of acts grouped under the oft-dubious 'alternative R&B' label, we have the one I like the most and should have covered before now! From @sudanarchives , 'The BPM' - my short review here, enjoy! youtube.com/shorts/DC0e6yS…

Fka twigs' "Lost All My Friends" gives me the exact uneasy yet compelling feeling as Jhene Aiko's "Overstimulated". (This is an R&B deep cut post, thank you for listening)
fka twigs drops a sequel album and it is more consistent... but does that make it better? My short review of 'Eusexua Afterglow' - enjoy! youtube.com/shorts/gsW2_Qm…

Rap music has a rich history that predates the internet. While knowledge of this history is not a prerequisite for enjoying or making rap music one should at least be conversant in Rap's lineage before trying to make definitive statements about it.
...so, that Rochelle Jordan album? I get the critical acclaim, but let's get into it. My short review of 'Through The Wall' - enjoy! youtube.com/shorts/loEAKZ8…

Folks calling this 'no big deal' need to remember that the major labels own a portion of Spotify. They want WhoSampled for punitive copyright claims and surveillance on acts cutting corners in the name of art. Seriously, fuck Spotify. You're out of excuses to dump them.
Alright, Danny Brown's venture into hyperpop... I have thoughts. Largely positive, but thoughts nonetheless. My review of 'Stardust' - enjoy! youtu.be/FkTSlJD3KCg
cupcakKe delivers on her formula yet again, and it's what you'd expect and a lot of fun... if you like that sort of thing. My short review of 'The BakKery', enjoy! youtube.com/shorts/lFuTSqK…

...I want to believe they'll keep this up, but we'll see how they'll hold the line when the major labels try it.
HAVEN.’s “I Run” is excluded from this week’s Billboard Hot 100 despite earning enough units to chart, indicating that Billboard will not allow AI-generated music on its flagship charts.
...yeah, I really wanted to be higher on this Armand Hammer / Alchemist collab, but despite great bars, there might be deeper issues here. My review of 'Mercy' - enjoy! youtu.be/wtJ6dMspM98
Looks like Billboard BREAKDOWN is delayed until Wednesday. (sigh)
This week's Hot 100 and other Billboard updates will be delayed until tomorrow. Stay tuned.
The new Hatchie album feels like a return to her core sound, and there's some intriguing themes... really wish I liked it more? My short review of 'Liquorice' - enjoy! youtube.com/shorts/KPuoaCK…

I hope that @xdannyxbrownx finds time to check out @2ndTalks at some point - the sort of introspective yet bruising bars / hyperpop blend that I think he'd really like. :)
I pick the Seahawks against the Rams and IMMEDIATELY Sam Darnold throws four interceptions. Well, you can't pick all of them.
