RCA/Sony
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: A prodigiously talented artist disappears for 14 years, teases us with rumors and a GQ profile, then announces and drops an album in a dizzying 48-hour span. We’re guessing you didn’t stop us, because this has literally never happened. But unprecedented or not, D’Angelo’s Black Messiah is finally here. And it’s glorious. If we could, we’d make it the entire playlist this week, but we can’t. (But here’s the Spotify link if you want to just listen to that. It’s okay, we don’t blame you.)
It’s fine, though, because it’s actually a pretty great week for new music. Jonny Greenwood’s soundtrack for Inherent Vice is here, and there are new tracks from How to Dress Well, Spooky Black, and bubbling Chicago rapper Lucki Eck$ (accompanied by Chance, which is always a good thing). Check it out between Black Messiah listens; you won’t be sorry.
As usual, we’ve added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone playlist (below). Keep the recommendations coming.
The tracks:
How to Dress Well, “Tomb For Anatole”
Shigeto, “Tide Pools”
Corbin, “Worn”
Jonny Greenwood, “Spooks”
Anna of the North, “Oslo”
Petite Noir, “Chess”
D’Angelo, “Sugah Daddy”
Lucki Eck$ feat. Chance the Rapper, “Stevie Wonder”
I Love Makonnen, “Swerve”
Lupe Fiasco feat. Nikki Jean, “Madonna [And Other Mothers in the Hood]”
