a bunch of different sources - wiki, music twitter pages, publications, rym, reddit, etc. but yeah most of those i list are artists and bands that i recognize

man that is pretty crazy. i never seem to meet people in real life who are as into music as i am yet whenever i enter this thread i feel like the biggest casual

most anticipated release of the week fasho

haven't listened to any singles from the Leon Bridges album so I'm curious what the soundscape is

and that's exactly what the thread is for, there's so much music to explore! i appreciate everyone who comes in here and either shares or discover someone new to them. music makes the world go rounddd

i've listened to black midi's chaotic ass albums, so no reason why i shouldn't check Geordie's solo out too

holy holy is probably one of my favorite songs of the year, so fun and creative. took a minute to grow on me. never really got into black midi heavy but i'm listening to their stuff today.

can't forget about joony and jordan ward as well

my twin is educated with their ears to the streets .

leon bridges dropping album and performing at acl this weekend… i knew i should’ve gone

Always still time to change plans. Saw him play at the Continental Club here in Austin on Tuesday night, s*** very much ruled

maybe weekend 2

listened to the new Leon Bridges last night. he's objectively good, i just never really connect to his stuff as a whole. there were a few standouts tho, i really liked this tune.

the half of FINNEAS album that i like is pretty damn enjoyable Harry Styles is shaking a lil bit...

something i'm finding with the newer pop musicians...the ballads and slow songs are almost always the low point of pop albums for me these days. felt this way playing Chappell's album yesterday too.

who are some pop artists y'all think are writing great ballads right now? the goat Lana Del Rey of course, that's her bag and she excels at it. Billie, ironically since i'm bringing this up after hearing FINNEAS album, also has a few good ballads.

Yo wtf put Balance and Composure in OP'.

it is with op in spirit

not really heavy into pop but you not a fan of Casual? i don't if it counts as a ballad but that was one of my favorites off Chappell's album

Casual and California are the better ones on there... Picture You and Kaleidoscope

yea i don't even remember how those other two sound lmao
