NEW ALBUMS
卡尔文·哈里斯(Calvin Harris),“放克沃夫(Funk Wav)弹跳卷。2英寸(哥伦比亚)
There might not be another album released this year with as much star power as Calvin Harris’ latest. The Scottish producer and globally recognized party DJ has brought in a who’s who of collaborators for his sixth studio album. With Halsey, Pharrell and Justin Timberlake on the summer anthem “Stay With Me,” Harris and company bounce with the same bravado as Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson did on their smash hit “Uptown Funk,” and it seems destined for the same dance floor domination. “New Money” is a cognac-fueled drop-top sunny soul track featuring rapper 21 Savage singing “Sippin’ Hi-Tech and I got a hot TEC/ I got new money, it ain’t even out yet.” Among its nearly 20 featured guests, “Funk Wav Bounce Vol. 2” has appearances from Dua Lipa, Young Thug, Snoop Dogg, Jorja Smith, Pusha T and more.
Kokoroko,“我们可以更多吗”(布朗斯伍德)
如果您近年来您在YouTube上听过音乐,那么自动播放功能使您成为Kokoroko冰冷的非洲爵士乐Tune的超过5000万听众之一。除了算法巧合之外,伦敦八件件刚刚发行了首张专辑,这绝对是对传统西非传统的加纳和尼日利亚声音的现代敬意。在歌手和小号手希拉·莫里斯·格里(Sheila Maurice-Grey)的带领下,科科洛科(Kokoroko)的演奏者都从非洲移民降落到英国,而这种背景则使他们的崇高爵士乐舒服。莫里斯·格里(Maurice-Grey)在带纸上的页面上说:“我认为家已经大大了解了我们写音乐和播放音乐的方式。”“每个人都来自不同的背景,但是在科科洛科(Kokoroko)团结我们的事情是,无论是埃博·泰勒(Ebo Taylor)还是帕特·托马斯(Pat Thomas),我们都对Afrobeat和Highlife有类似的爱和欣赏。”“我们给予感谢”和“上升时代”是这种方法的主要例子,在贝斯,喇叭,鼓,钥匙和弦乐的密集安排中,它与Afrobeat庆祝活动和技术精通。
Brijean,“ Angelo”(幽灵)
来自奥克兰形成的洛杉矶二人组合的歌手 - 击球手Brijean Murphy和多乐器主义者/制片人Doug Stuart的最新专辑可能并不沉重,但确实如此。自发布以来的时期他们出色的2021年首次亮相,“感觉”这对夫妇处理了墨菲的父亲和斯图尔特的父母的失去。在与不可思议的人打交道时,他们上路了两年,并在创作音乐很快就会成为“安吉洛”的音乐中发现了宣泄,以墨菲(Murphy)的1981年丰田塞利卡(Toyota Celica)的名字命名,他们的战车在多个城市延长了多个城市,然后才降落在洛杉矶。墨菲(Murphy)的康帕斯(Congas)像她的空灵人声一样,在墨菲(Murphy)的康帕斯(Congas)堆满了墨菲(Murphy)的舞蹈表演之类的歌曲“ Ooo la la”和“害羞的家伙”,当闭上眼睛并让节奏接管时,最好被消耗掉。您越深入这些歌曲,他们的精神就越强大,墨菲说“使我们摆脱了悲伤和体内。”
Brijean计划于8月11日星期四在旧金山在旧金山演出,Shen和Dougie Stu(Stuart的Solo Free Jazz Project)。
LOCALLY MINDED
Art Moore,“ Art Moore”(反)
奥克兰的童子军的泰勒·维克(Taylor Vick)的“ Wayfinder”是我们2021年杰出的本地专辑之一,已与Sam Durkes和Trevor Brooks以斯拉Furman支持乐队的形式艺术摩尔。Where with Boy Scouts, Vick’s tender vocals do the heavy lifting alongside a humble guitar, Art Moore is a more expansive and melodic reflection of her songwriting. “Muscle Memory” sees her lamenting a love that didn’t make it, singing “words I’ll never speak,” but accepting that the past is the past and moving forward as such: “I think we both know, the depth our memories go. I learned to keep it light though.” On “Snowy,” Durkes and Brookes craft a dreamy palette for Vick to sing lines like, “Swear I’m not stuck in the past,” with sweet sincerity.
