From harlanworldThe sound club really be grooving lately so why stop now? This pick was an instant front to back play when it came out in 2019. I’d like to think this was pre-pop-star Anderson.paak, still co-signed and inspired by the legacy of Dr Dre but making music with his vibes-forward, drums-first artistry. It’s California through and through, feels like a sunny day with the top back and has a bunch of intriguing song switches throughout the journey. I actually saw a clip recently of him talking about the importance of album storytelling and the progression or roller coaster ride of music so it’s especially top of mind. Let’s keep it rolling, and always straight through.
