The most recent The Roots album, Undun, has a track both written and produced by Sufjan Stevens and it’s beautiful. It’s called Redford. Have a quick listen or two.

I’ve been looking into new music, well, new to me. Genres range. So far I’ve dabbled in Ella Fitzgerald, Listener, YACHT, City and Colour, and Foals. First off, I’m in love with Ella. Her voice is honestly and whole-heartdedly timeless: I’m head over heals. Listener is a whole different story. It’s a mix between spoken word and punk. You see, I worship poetry and I have a huge lady boner for slam poetry…and I just can’t get into Listener. It’s too choppy with the words and the instrumental and the vocalist is rhythmic to a point where it’s too predictable and I get bored. The lyrics are beautiful though. YACHT is like some weird subculture cult that I want to know more about but I don’t wanna join (just yet). City and Colour is exactly what I expected from previous hype. Some songs I find myself skipping, but most I stay and smile. I find him endearing. His voice is like…airy, thats the only way I can describe it. But it works, and I really like it. And Foals? Well I love it and I’m probably going to go download the discography. I have a hunch that they go through a lot of changes from album to album and I want to experience it.

listening to Usher alone is a hilarious, weird, and fulfilling experience
