Song of The Year-Hit My Phone by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Kehlani
Song of The Year-Hit My Phone by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Kehlani by Dan-O You just can’t beat the kind of collaboration that unites two fabulously interesting artists coming off their best work. In 2019, Kehlani dropped the elegant and well crafted While We Wait while Megan Thee Stallion was everywhere. She dropped her Fever project, dropped some killerContinue reading “Song of The Year-Hit My Phone by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Kehlani”
#BandcampGold-Aloha by Son Little
#BandcampGold-Aloha by Son Little by Dan-O I pre-ordered this album with five songs available. I burned through those songs like I haven’t with any album since Vampire Weekend-Father of The Bride.

Song of The Year-The Pines by 070 Shake
Song of The Year-The Pines by 070 Shake by Dan-O Leadbelly would be pretty excited about the 2020 Cover of one of his favorite songs, Where Did You Sleep Last Night? It comes on 070 Shake’s new album Modus Vivendi. She makes it a completely modern experience with heavy autotune and synths, but Shake and her team(MikeContinue reading “Song of The Year-The Pines by 070 Shake”

Song of The Year-Nont For Sale by Sudan Archives
Song of The Year-Nont For Sale by Sudan Archives by Dan-O I would bet the artist Sudan Archives knows more about the violin than I know about my family.

Mixtape review-Drunken Babble by Kalie Uchis
Mixtape review-Drunken Babble by Kalie Uchis by Dan-O It is possible I have fallen so hard for Kali Uchis music because of her diction. I think her diction is better than mine has ever been in the 3,849 years I’ve been on this planet (long story). In 2012 she released the mixtape collection Drunken Babble producedContinue reading “Mixtape review-Drunken Babble by Kalie Uchis”

Mixtape review-ILOVEMAKONNEN x Ronny J
Mixtape review-ILOVEMAKONNEN x Ronny J by Dan-O Makonnen is so much better in an unorthodox state. Whenever he tries to fit the traditional role of rapper or R & B singer he ends up sounding very out of sorts. I think he is at the very cutting edge of making music that achieves bits ofContinue reading “Mixtape review-ILOVEMAKONNEN x Ronny J”
