People's Choice #52: Artists Who Debuted since 2000

Comments

On Father John Misty, you should try Pure Comedy or When The God of Love Returns There’ll Be Hell to Pay for more of what people mean of his lyrical prowess

Will Akers

Ro james song a.d.i.d.a.s

Tasha Wooden

Let NAS down - J Cole

Gustaf

No nat king or billie ever or just today 🗣️ always love some more Nat Johnny Hartman would be great though fr and maybe some big L

Gustaf

The seed- Auroro (specifically the live version)

Izzy

PC #53 Lover, You Should’ve Come Over by Jeff Buckley - one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard! It was released in the late 90s and was part of Jeff’s first and last studio album, he drowned a few years later. The whole album “Grace” is worth listening to, but imo this is the best song on it

Jelani

Kenyon Dixon-Dream

Neeka 007

Ice cube-ghetto vet

Gary Domingos

I new pops would like ro James lol

Dewayne Williams

Y'all gotta review the Kendrick halftime show

CR

I saw FJM in concert and it was great because of how many genres he dabbles in. His set includes folk songs, rock socks, indie songs and jazz. He has always kind of reminded me of the male version of Lana in music. and makes sense they have song twos together!

Bdawg

I love Res!

The FrontRoom

Daniel Caesar - Transform

Adrian Dawson

PC #53: Res - "They Say" or "Golden Boys"

Arianne Thompson

BONE THUGS- “WAVES”

Sovieski Perez

KRAYZIE BONE- “A LOTTA PAIN”

Sovieski Perez

PC 53: Jazmine Sullivan - BPW Rick Ross feat Nelly - Here I Am

Brandon Jackson

They should do that whole album!! Cuz “You Can’t Save Me” is my one 😭😭🙌🏾

Nolly Thando

Happy Without me by Chloe & Halle featuring Joey Badda$$ is still on my rotation!

Nolly Thando

I love that Ro James album! I liked the diversity of these songs PC #53: SiR - John Redcorn if it hasn’t been covered

Simira

It's still in my rotation!

Kenysha

Zion is a perfect, powerful and moving song. Such a beautiful track.

Tnulb

Like a couple others have already suggested, I’m begging you guys to watch Chlöe x Halle’s tiny desk!! They’re both such talented musicians and Ungodly Hour is an (almost) perfect album. Chlöe produces most, if not all, of their songs together!

Kellie

Ro James is great. I loved this song when it came out.

Mickey10 JB

You should check out Chloe X Halle's Tiny Desk

Mickey10 JB

Love it when a patron of ours discovers a new artist through a fellow patron this way. (dad)

The FrontRoom

PC 53: Zion by Lauryn Hill or Everything to Me by Monica.

Kenysha

Wait!! I finished... AMAZING eclectic mix. I enjoyed ALL of those. I've just ordered some Samara Joy on vinyl. Great stuff! Ok, Kai, you said "maybe 2" suggestions so, my 2nd is another Janelle Monae song from her INCREDIBLE album "Dirty Computer" called "CRAZY, CLASSIC, LIFE". Janelle Monae is an important artist with a dope vibe and depth, that I think you'd appreciate.

Tnulb

Cunninlynguists - Lynguistics

Jiminy

One In A Million is quintessential 90s R&B. It might not seem that special in the context of everything that's been reacted to here - but I can only imagine, it has influenced every contemporary R&B artist that came after.

Aakash

PC 53: Sam Fender - Spit of You

John Shanley

Yes!!!! Janelle Monet ❤️

Precious

What a great idea! (dad)

The FrontRoom

PC 53 Charles Hamilton - Music (into track from The Pink Lava Lamp album)

ficy

PC #53: Good & Plenty (remix) - Alex lsley, Lucky Daye & Masego.

PinkTater24

PC #53. Let's try a bit of country/rock! This song has super meaningful lyrics regarding their downfall from the top bc of their opposition to the Iraq War. They ended up sweeping the Grammys with this album :) The Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice

Bdawg

PC #53: Aaliyah - One In A Million or If Your Girl Only Knew. Both songs were written by Missy Elliott and Timbaland. RIP Aaliyah

Robin

Oooweee that Samara Joy was beautiful. Me and my wife are currently talking about sipping wine and painting while listening to her

jeff baker

Love the Black Pumas. Check out ‘Colors’…Ro James entire album is great.

Precious

PC #53: SOIL &“PIMP”SESSIONS - Crush!

djhyjak

The Ro James sample was from Brother's Gonna Work It Out by Willie Hutch

Loved the variety this week. FJM’s lyrics often go over my head too, but I enjoy the abstraction—it frees the music from rigid narratives, making it more exciting. Have to agree with Dad, his melodies feel deeply rooted in ’60s/’70s influences, but I think he has since evolved to take influences from a wider net of genres, some modern, into a more distinct voice through experimentation. His songwriting is now uniquely modern, filled with sharp, satirical turns of phrase and conceptual scenes that feel specific to today. For a good example, you should check out the song Pure Comedy. Love that you did Black Pumas. I really wanted to you to do more (modern) “pyschadelic soul” b/c I think Dad would really enjoy it. (Michael Kiwanuka, Brittany Howard). As Dad guessed, these artists are amazing live. Caroline Polacheck - Thanks for doing it :) Yes, I’m also a huge Imogen fan, which is probably why I liked this.

Aakash

ONE SUGGESTION?? This is tough (I've edited my decision SO many times btw): -PC 53: "Q.U.E.E.N" Janelle Monet Ft. Erykah Badu

Tnulb

Chloe X Halle are extremely talented sisters. They are mentored by Beyoncé and signed to her record label. I highly suggest you check out their live performances or their Tiny Desk…..Halle, was Ariel in the Little Mermaid live action remake. She has this enchanting, angelic voice that was perfect for the role.

Precious

Great reaction! Loved the variety. Thank you for choosing my suggestion, ‘Can’t Get Out of This Mood’ Samara is really impressive. She was 21/22 when this album came out. The entire album is worth a listen. The song was written in the 40s and has been covered many times- including Sarah Vaughn & Nina Simone.

Precious

PC #53: Lupe Fiasco - Mission

ERIK

Chloe x Halle- Cool People (Video version) will show the difference in their voices. OR Rae Sremmurd- Black beatles

k jess

PC #53: Jhené Aiko - Eternal Sunshine

CHILO

PC #53: Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow
