i've known tinashe's music for, 10 years now?
anyways, when i was a teen, i was a big fan of loreena mckennitt, sopor aeternus and other medieval-esque acts.
what many ppl don't seem to figure when listening to tinashe is how her melodies are deeply influenced by medieval folk music. mainly the music that came from the moors or whatever, those who aren't afraid to dwindle between minor chords (i don't even know if chords were a thing back then, i'm using this to signal what i'm talking about).
I love the very beginning where Treason becomes a folk song, as it should be. I love that she chose to perform Unconditional, which is my favorite track from 333. I love how the percussionists incorporates the Rhythm of Give It To Me by Timabaland on 2 On and i love how it sounds.

i’ve been a fan of briston for a little over 5 years now, and i’ve gotta say it’s been one of the best things to ever happen to me. i love his music, of course, but through his shows i have met some of my best friends and made some of my favorite memories. it actually hurts my brain to think about what my life would be like if i hadn’t gone to see him at the beast in 2022 - that show catapulted me into this need to go to more and more nashville indie shows. i could go on about it all for much longer, but i will spare you. it has been such a wild ride, and i can only hope that other people have similar stories with him (or other artists! please share if you do!). anywho, these are my top 3 tracks:
1. fool’s gold
2. the garden
3. i’ve been waiting
and this is a pic i took of him at iron city earlier this year

Something about Chromakopia by Tyler, the Creator gives this a mature and jazz feel to it. I couldn’t help but bop my head at every rhythm this man put into this album. Especially with this track with Lola Young. Having a breakout artist on your track is so refreshing to see and will make me definitely stream her music going forward!

All pretty good to great. People get caught up on some weird production choices, and the in-your-face sincerity. And maybe there are moments of condescension and righteous anger.… but I’m not religious and I think “Every Grain of Sand,” and “Pressing On” are some of the best things he ever wrote. Plus I really love “Heart of Mine”

FKA Rodrigo Xuxa, Apresentador became nationally known for imitating Xuxa, one of Brazil's biggest stars (i'm Brazillian btw). Time went by and he decided to build his own identity. Nowadays, he hosts a youtube show called 'Rodrigo Show', where he talks about himself, his perception of things, his life story, his taste on men, fashion, food... summing it up, himself.
