Or at least, to remember—and reap streaming royalties from—them. The quirk in Billboard’s chart counting rules that allows previously released singles to be counted as plays towards albums definitely incentivizes artists to ensure those singles make it onto the albums they’re promoting. His trademark intelligence, honesty and pin-drop production remain intact.

Instead, his cold grime sonics are rendered down to their no-frills essentials – brutalist blocks of sad angular melodies and hard, spacious drums. A must-have for anyone who has a heart. You can also choose to be emailed when someone replies to your comment. The tempo-shifting country-folk song “Get Set Go Kid” layers guitar, keys and subtle, harmonising backing vocals, unexpectedly building towards a cacophony of syncopated piano and saxophone. (RO), It’s been a long wait for Flying Lotus’s new album.

5.

Instead, she’s been busy honing her craft for Grey Area, which sees her land on a new, bolder sound assisted by her childhood friend – the producer Inflo [Michael Kiwanuka’s Love & Hate] – for a record that incorporates her dextrous flow and superb wordplay with an eclectic range of influences. Care Package by Drake album reviews & Metacritic score: The 17-track collection of tracks not included in his discography from the Canadian rapper features guest appearances from J. Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later? (Helen Brown), With praise from Kendrick Lamar, five EPs released by the time she was 21, tours with Lauryn Hill, collaborations with Gorillaz and two critically praised albums – including 2017’s excellent concept album Stillness in Wonderland – fans and critics alike wondered what else Little Simz could do to find the kind of mainstream success enjoyed by so many of her male peers. Sign up for our newsletter. Backing singers Leisa Hans and Ashley Wilcoxson add texture to the grooving “Lo/Hi”, while the languid “Sit Around and Miss You” is Stealers Wheels by way of the Deep South. Haters can seethe. Fantastic.

Only Drake can release an “album” made up of all B-sides and loose freestyles and make it an event.

(Elisa Bray), Six months after the release of Oxnard, Anderson .Paak returns with another Dr Dre-produced record, Ventura.

Care Package is out now via OVO.

As opportunistic as the release of Care Package is, the reminder of Drake’s work at the margins during his most prolific creative period is a timely one. This isn’t an artistic project as much as it is a business ploy ­– repackaging leftovers apparently without taking the effort to remix or remaster some of them. Released 29 March 2020.

“Diplomatic Immunity” was later re-uploaded as a solo track and “God’s Plan” was transferred to the final Scorpion tracklist, along with all its many, many plays and accolades. Certainly, there’s a few corny or dated moments—listening through Care Package, you’ll hear hashtag rap (“I got that Courtney Love for you/Crazy shit”), epically cloying vocal runs, and overly cutesy wordplay like, “Brunch with Qatar royals all my cups is oil.” However, the best songs here stand up with Drake’s best music. Drake has always been able to generate discussion by simply releasing new music and letting Twitter and Instagram captions do the work of promoting it, even when both platforms were in their most nascent forms. His OVO imprint celebrated the occasion with a physical release and digital release, and So Far Gone made its debut on the Billboard albums chart, hitting No. But don’t be put off: Miss Universe is a brilliant collection of songs, an expansive melange of indie, jazz, pop and trip-hop that flits between a lo-fi sparseness and something The Strokes would play. Take “Trust Issues,” perhaps the most meta moment on an extremely meta release, a song where Drake echoes his own hook from the DJ Khaled hit “I’m on One,” casting a shadow on all of its implied excess.

“We were so obsessed with writing the next best American record,” sings Del Rey on “Next Best American Record”. His own sharpest critic, he winks at the journalists who’ve called him glacial as he drops from remote, icy falsetto into a richly grained, deeper tone to ask: “Doesn’t it seem much warmer?” (Helen Brown), While he recognises his roots and includes plenty of nods to grime, AJ Tracey's magpie’s eye for a good melody or hook extends far beyond that. Want more Rolling Stone? That’s the predominant theme of the singer / rapper / flautist-extraordinaire’s hugely likeable third album, Cuz I Love You.

On opener “Shine a Light”, the riffs are big, the momentum irresistible, with frontman/guitarist Dan Auerbach layering scabrous licks over AC/DC-like chords. Care Package is a 17 track, 77 minute compilation of promo tracks and loosies that Drake has released between 2010-2016. The overarching sound, production and instrumentation on Eve are outstanding.

(Mark Beaumont). (Mark Beaumont), A revolving door of female vocalists (A-listers, indie darlings like Angel Olsen and unsung songwriters) deliver heartbroken lines over big, shiny beats and synths.

The late musician had a free-spirited approach that suits Hot Chip on the psychedelic “Clear Blue Skies”, and there are nods to early Nineties French house via the glitchy funk and vocoder effects of “Spell” (an album highlight).. For all its glimmering synths and the robotic pathos of Taylor’s idiosyncratic vocals, this is a record with both heart and soul. During his creative peak, from 2011’s Take Care through 2015’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, Drake processed his memory through his music. The way she has structured this record takes the listener through the complicated yet nuanced emotions of a woman who has recently learnt to accept everything she feels.

But you don’t come away from this record feeling downcast.

Others felt like rhyming notes to self, including one where he spent four minutes apologizing to his mother. Remarkable. When Drake posted “Dreams Money Can Buy” on his label’s blog in May 2011, two historic events were just over the horizon: the U.S. launch of Spotify in July and the inauguration of “YOLO” as the national catchphrase in November. “We used to do young and stupid,” Skepta concludes on “Gangsta”. (Helen Brown), Lux Prima was born just over a decade ago from a drunken phone call from Karen O to Danger Mouse – real name Brian Joseph Burton – during which the pair vowed they would work on something together.

Since then, they've released a string of consistently great albums, from 2008’s Made in the Dark (featuring their only Top 10 single to date, “Ready for the Floor”) to this, their seventh and best record, A Bath Full of Ecstasy. “Fringe Runner” is so sleek and funksome it could be a New Romantic “White Lines (Don’t Don’t Do It)”; “Kim’s Sunsets” is a piece of refined cosmic reggae resembling a blissed-out “Bankrobber”. What Does It Take To Reopen A Hotel During The Pandemic? (Roisin O'Connor), Solange Knowles has never been coy about the intent behind her music.

Drenched in chamber strings and celestial harmonies, the plush yet sinister “Oh Sebastian” could be Pet Sounds selling its soul to the devil. Khan once again demonstrates a knack for uncanny storytelling.

“Voices” has him singing over an old-school garage beat, fighting off personal demons.

The songs collected here are the tracks that didn’t make the albums and never hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 (22 of his other songs have). This is Metronomy at their most ambitious and pleasurably weird.

It allows our most engaged readers to debate the big issues, share their own experiences, discuss real-world solutions, and more.

(Patrick Smith), Here, Lewis does what she does best: adds the glossy sparkle of Hollywood and a sunny Californian sheen to melancholy and nostalgia, with her most luxuriantly orchestrated album yet.

Where the former was overflowing with choppy, experimental sounds, guest appearances and clumsy attempts at Gil Scott Heron-esque revolutionary lyrics, the sequel – recorded around the same time – streamlines .Paak’s sound, making for a tightly packaged, melodic and danceable album. Each track is a standout, none more so than “Ladbroke Grove”, a hat-tip to classic garage in which Tracey switches up his flow to emulate a Nineties MC. It’s technically a follow-up to 2014’s The Wild, the Wilderness, but the newfound boldness on this new work is startling. Haters can seethe.

Drake will be 33 in October, and he’s no longer that person.

He screeches over distorted “ooh oohs” via The Rolling Stones’s “Sympathy for the Devil” on opener “Calm Down aka I Should Not Be Alone”.

As 'Care Package' proves, Drake has mastered the art of cashing in, Lana Del Rey reveals release date and artwork for new album, Album reviews: Kaiser Chiefs, Mini Mansions, and Spoon, Album reviews: Chance the Rapper – The Big Day, and Berlin, which was criticised for being too long and filler-friendly, You may not agree with our views, or other users’, but please respond to them respectfully, Swearing, personal abuse, racism, sexism, homophobia and other discriminatory or inciteful language is not acceptable, Do not impersonate other users or reveal private information about third parties, We reserve the right to delete inappropriate posts and ban offending users without notification. Yet few are likely to have as much inspiration to draw on as India-born, Zimbabwe-raised and now Peckham-based artist Rina Mushonga.

But whether she’s pining for the return of a former love in the funky disco banger “Julien”, or singing about masturbating post-break-up in lead single “Party For One” (“I’ll be the one/ If you don’t care about me/ Making love to myself/ Back on my beat”), the vibe remains positively jubilant. Never been done before. This is a new side of Deerhunter that gives the listener much to contemplate.

Fellow Mercury Prize nominee Jorja Smith and winner Sampha sound like old friends in their guest spots – they fit comfortably into Carner’s landscape, built from classic hip-hop beats and warm piano loops.
