Ever hear a new song from an artist, or a new artist that is exceptional? Often-times, we miss out on new music because we don't know about it. This Thread is for those rare, unique and outstanding new releases that you feel are worthy of a spotlight. All genres welcome to be heard. Furthermore, if you can give a brief synopsis of why you like your chosen new music or artist ... it might help set the tone for the listener or viewer. Or just offer up your interpretation and let the listener decide. Critiques + and - are also welcomed.
l will start with this new release by Sampha He isn't mainstream, and he hails from Britain..but has worked with Drake and recently Kanye this year. When l first heard this, my visceral emotion @ the chorus especially, was it could be the anthem of unarmed black men who have been shot by police. His voice is magnetic. I tracked his video down and further symbols - while l don't think is intentional because this shit doesn't happen in England - is not only him running.. but the scene of a car in the tree. And the vines. And the car lights go out. And then the car drops. Blood On Me [HDYT]_oM1DFL43Lk[/HDYT] Direct link https://youtu.be/_oM1DFL43Lk I see it as the current lynching. Vines = rope Lights go out= dying/death Car drop = body drops. Traffic stop shootings. That's my take.
