One of those records destined to be on my wantslist forever.
It’s summer, right? I work in a primary school and we had a picnic yesterday. There were wasps and it rained so it definitely felt like summer.
Here’s a summer jam from one of my faves from a few years ago.

Right. I’ve got two streaming services now. I’ve swerved them previously on account of not being able to keep up with the music I purchase, but of course, I’m massively enjoying them.
I’ve made some playlists for other people so I’ll share them here too if that’s okay?

Really enjoying Noname’s album this year. Love her poetic flow.
Edit: Oh Christ. Some anti-semitic themes in one of Jay Electronica’s verses.

Yeah. She’s great. Have you checked out her Tiny Desk concerts? First one was 2017. There was a new one last month. You can see her evolution as an artist.
She’s on tour next year. I’ve got tickets for Manchester.

Ah no. I’ll check em out tonight. I love a tiny desk.
Been listening to Sundial and Room 25 today. I just love the sound of her voice. Song / album lengths are perfect too.
