album project

2022 album project

In an effort to essentially force myself to listen to more music in a more cohesive and rigid way, I've set out an objective of listening to one album a day for the entirety of 2022. I have the list done already, with everything picked out in advance between december 29th and 31st. So while any recommendations won't be included (unless I completely rearrange that list), I will appreciate the feedback, and will likely use it as an excuse to make a video. What I am saying is that either way, please give me more music to listen to :)

Anyways, I have below all of the information about this that you'd like, from the last album I listened to, the upcoming week's worth of albums, and of course the archive of already-listened-to albums (with links; images are too big). And just in case you don't have them, my snapchat and instagram account names are available via my contact page.

Without any more extended delays, here is the most recent album and my thoughts:

progress this year:

upcoming records:

september 24: Dirty Computer by Janelle Monae

september 25: Before The Dawn Heals Us by M83

september 26: Nefertiti by Miles Davis

september 27: It Is What It Is by Thundercat

september 28: Purple Rain by Prince

september 29: Moving Pictures by Rush

september 30: Ten by Pearl Jam

notes for today's album

mini notes for polaroid

really like this start w introducing, great energy between the two of them—especially that second verse and how it fits over the beat c:
weird little instrumental on ansah brothers, but that first verse was kinda surprising; same with the second verse as well, just how smooth yet simultaneously disjointed it seems :o
very promising start from those two and this incredible start to hypnotic :)
- god those verses keep shifting and hitting exactly the right points for me to stay impressed with this (esp with owusu being younger than I am now) :oo
- best track so far :D
and really impressed with all of three of them on back and forth; great feature from jedbrii, and even if I’m not the biggest fan of that hook… yea it is still really good :)
damnn insane verse to start over these horns on intractable :D
- just an incredible track with some of the best individual verses on the project so far; amazing stuff c:
ooh that swing beat behind them on never learn? shit… this is really damn good, I’m continuously surprised :)
- and that bridge to close is really nice too ^^
amazing sample and beat work on go figure, already a great track on this—even if it’s not my favorite overall, it’s still pretty good ^^
and even if I’m starting to feel a bit of ear fatigue (on me, not this tape), cholo is definitely one of the best tracks here as well; that deep hook and the winding beat behind it amazing
- and then that beat switch—or destruction—is a genuinely surprising and fantastic shift for the record to take :OO
- amazing dual verse there, and such a great journey in just this track c:
not a love song was a bit of a stark turn, but it somehow kinda works—maybe it’s just on first listen, but it was a nice interludal, completely different experience to split the project before the end ^^
that cricket sound was the corniest thing ever on reach out… but I kinda like it ngl :)
- the whole track feels really well-formed though; really nice back and forth especially between kay and owusu c:
amazing start to ‘nother day (:
- yea it is a celebration bitches; it does just kinda feel like a casual end, and I kinda like that for a mixtape c:
- really great sample and ending overall ^^
