Recommended If You Like thread - May 29, 2021

If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/artist so that other people will know what you want.

Example: "I want to hear an artist that sounds like old Kanye production" (you can get more specific but usually enough). And then someone will respond with recommendations X, Y, and Z.

You can also leave a top level comment recommending an artist/project/scene that you think others might like if they like X, Y, and Z.

Example: "You guys should check out DJ Mustard's mixtape Ketchup RIYL (recommended if you like) post-hyphy and minimalistic west coast beats"

Remember, the point of this thread is to share music, try not to post stuff that's already really popular unless it answers someone's question.

The more descriptive you guys are with your posts, the easier it is to help you find what you want. Just stating an artist's name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that artist's music.

[DISCUSSION] How should posthumous music be handled by the family or peers of the artist?

Posted: 29 May 2021 02:53 PM PDT

I think this is an interesting topic, I'm not sure if I worded the prompt that well.

Following Juice WRLD's death, his label (Bibby's Grade A) and family released a statement saying that to honor Juice, they planned on sharing "unreleased music and other projects that he was passionately in the process of developing":

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank each and every one of you for your undivided adoration and love for Juice. You guys meant the entire world to Juice and by listening to his music, watching his videos and sharing your stories about him, you are keeping his memory alive forever. We plan to honor Juice's talents, his spirit, and the love he felt for his fans by sharing unreleased music and other projects that he was passionately in the process of developing.

It was reported that at least two thousand songs were recorded before the rapper's passing. Lil Bibby recently announced a new Juice Wrld album and there was some discussion in the thread differentiating this from "milking a dead artist" and someone bought up XXXTentacion, who's posthumous music includes some very noticeably unfinished work.

One way to look at this is that the family of the artist just suffered the death of their child and the unreleased material is now theirs and the artist would want them to be provided for off of it, even if the material isn't something they would have released when they were alive. They aren't here to finish it. This would also apply for collaborations with artists they didn't have a prior relationship with.

Or maybe the artist wouldn't want their unreleased work to come out, that's personal to many artists.

Some examples of instances I've seen this sort of discussion:

  1. People often point to Pimp C's posthumous inclusion on Views. They speculate that Bun B should've have authorized the collab because Pimp C wouldn't have fucked with Drake.
  2. On Loyal to the Game, which was executive produced by Eminem, Pac vocals are manipulated to say "Drop That Em", "2005" and "G-Unit"
  3. Drake was planning on executive producing an Aaliyah album on Blackground Records – a label run by Aaliyah's uncle and cousin. Following the negative public reception after the announcement the revelation that Timbaland and Missy Elliott would not be involved, they cancelled the project.
  4. Kurt Cobain's posthumous album Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings is a big case of "everything they could find" being released. AllMusic senior critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine said "While that's interesting for a while, at a certain point -- and it arrives rather quickly -- the fascination curdles and it's hard not to feel unclean, as if you're snooping through your beloved brother's desk." Alexis Petridis from The Guardian criticized the release, saying "In 21 years, the posthumous Nirvana industry has gone from releasing the band's astonishing MTV Unplugged in New York performance to literally putting out recordings of Kurt Cobain making farting noises." Further, Jayson Green of Pitchfork pointed out that "The Home Recordings marks the point where that exploitation enters the absurd." On the other hand, Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly praised the album, considering it as "a cultural artifact that provides an inside look at the creative process of an enigmatic genius." Tiny Mix Tapes critic Joe Hemmerling wrote: "There is pleasure to be found here, particularly in Cobain's left-field excursions into Burroughs-ian collage, but these pleasures will hold scant value to anyone not already convinced of the author's peculiar genius."
  5. I don't know the details but I believe there was some discussion of this around Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 and Peep's family's handling of his posthumous music
  6. Marvin Gaye's estate entered a contentious legal battle over "Blurred Lines" resemblance to "Got To Give It Up" that many warned would set a very bad precedent in copyright law.

NME wrote an article about this. Chase McMullen, editor in chief of online music publication Beats Per Minute and longtime fan of Mac Miller, tells NME: "It's a thorny issue because it's a chance for the artist to find some more love and, perhaps, your last chance to have a bit more work to treasure as a fan."

In older genres, an extensive amount of posthumous work of bands or artists often end up being released? It's inevitable that we'll be seeing new posthumous work from some recently diseased artists for a while.

Another aspect to this is subject matter: If an artist died of an overdose or gang violence for example, should their music that could be seen as glorifying drug abuse or gang violence be withheld by the right's holder?

EDIT: I feel like most people would say it's on a case-by-case thing, here's some topics on top of this jumbled mess above:

  • these examples and more you guys have and your thought son those cases
  • what this will mean as hip hop grows and ages Will we still be getting Juice WRLD album in 5 years? That's gonna be weird if he's on the top 10 sales for like a decade despite being dead. Artists who were 10 when he died may end up on his albums
  • general principles you believe – obviously there's exceptions.
  • Major labels buying artist's catalogs after their death – ex: Lil Peep
  • Hypotheticals: Should diss tracks by a dead artist be put out? Should collabs with an artist who had a falling out with a longtime collaborator shortly before their death be put out?

Obviously its condolences to the families and friends grieving the loss, but posthumous music is an interesting topic that sparks a lot of opinions. Not tryna "cancel" anyone (except Solar if that counts, fuck Solar)

Music Style: Lush Neo Soul taking influence from Psychedelic Soul, Jazz, Dream Pop, and Indie Pop

Raveena Aurora is an artist that has a knack for creating soothing music that will fit perfectly on any vibes playlist. Her brand of Neo Soul is perfect for anyone who likes the smooth Sophisti-Pop sound of Sade, the lo-fi soulful folk music of Yves Jarvis, the Psychedelic Reverbed Soul of Nick Hakim, the Coffee Shop Bedroom R&B of Mac Ayers, or the quirky nocturnal sound of Ravyn Lenae. What Raveena brings is a lush and dreamy type of Neo Soul that will put any listeners ears at ease.

While Raveena's mostly consists of a lush dreamlike sound with faint instrumentation and fluffy vocals. Her music also uses elements such as Y2K Pop-R&B and Folk as seen in Tweety and Starflower respectively. In her sound, Raveena also makes use of harps (Honey, I Won't Mind, Sweet Time), woodwind instruments (Johnny It's The Last Time, Hypnosis, Temptation, Floating), and Chimes (You Give Me That, No Better, Wherever U Go, Mama). Sometimes, she would even utilize sound shifts like in Headaches and Floating. In Headaches, the sound goes from a ethereal psychedelic sound to a guitar driven dream pop tune. In Floating, the sounds goes from a organic tune with soft pianos and guitars, to an incorporation of bongos with chanting.

When talking about Raveena, an important thing to highlight is her songwriting. Raveena lyricism is spectacular and places her ahead of many of her contemporaries. Raveena writing deals with the topics of femininity, sexuality, family, and relationships. Raveena can even use her lyrics to perfectly capture the mood of a song like in Starflower. In her song Mama, Raveena ponders on what her mother's past was like before she immigrated from India to Queens. Raveena's writing even touches on darker subject matter which is a contrast to her lush dreamy sound. In Petal, Raveena speaks about coming to terms with death. Her song Bloom is about an abusive relationship and moving past it. In her darkest songs lyric wise, both Stronger and Salt Water are about sexual assault and the kind of trauma that comes from it and how it affects her to this day. The dark subject matter in both Stronger and Salt Water really contrast the mellow, soothing, and lush sound sound of the production. It really shows that Raveena is willing in bear her emotional scars for all to see which is very difficult. Raveena also discusses her sexuality in both Headaches and Temptation, which is really good because it gives more representation to LGBTQ BIPOC. One thing that I've noticed is that LGBTQ BIPOC often get the short end of the stick when it comes to LGBTQ rights and proper representation. An artist like Raveena is important because it gives more visibility to LGBTQ acts of color and therefore humanizes them so that people who have never met a LGBTQ BIPOC irl will see them as human instead of reacting with hatred and vitriol.

Make sure to check out her projects Shanti, Lucid, and Moonstone - EP.

Some of my favorite Raveena songs: You Give Me That, Johnny It's The Last Time, Spell, Sweet Time, If Only, Love Child, No Better, Natural, Wherever U Go, I Won't Mind, Honey, Temptation, Nectar, Salt Water, Stone, Mama, Bloom, Floating, Still Dreaming, Headaches, Close 2 U, Heartbeat, Starflower, Tweety

Here are some good performances: Tiny Desk Concert, COLORS Performance, Raveena @Home, Stronger / Still Dreaming / Lovers Rock (Sade Cover) (Live)
