WHO Will U Listen To Now?

for me 2016 really did me in, in terms of my favorites dying.

of course, i will always listen to prince, bowie and george micheal, a bit of cohen etc.

just like i still listen to nirvana, marvin and buckley. but are there any recent living artists u'll be digging?

for me it's PJ Harvey, St Vincent, TTD/Sanada and a few others.

what about u guys?

2016 wasn't the year of Bowie, Prince, and many others we loved and lost...but it was certainly a good year for Bruce Springsteen...

Radiohead, Beck, Bon Iver, James Blake, Foo Fighters

However, no one can replace Prince. The anticipation of an album every year, the bootlegs, and the great gigs can never be replaced. I miss Prince a lot.

There's tons more Prince to discover.

In addition new artists like Anderson.Paak and Childish Gambino (Donald Glover). Redbone is totally Prince.

Harts - The only new-ish artist that truly excites me, and that I see a lot of promise in. He writes, produces, and plays everything himself. I admire his independence and work ethic, and I hope he can break out of Australia this year.

Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys) - My favorite project of his is the group The Arcs. He has another solo album coming out this year that I'm looking forward to.

Saint Motel - An indie-pop band that I've been following for the past eight years. Their recently released album was one of my favorites of 2016.

Tame Impala / Kevin Parker

Janelle Monae

Maxwell


There's dozens of other current artists I listen to, but those are my favorites.

These days I´m more open to new stuff. I also listen to a lot of old school jams, older rap and RnB but as far as new stuff goes, I listen to Vocal Deep House, Miguel Migs, Ron Trent, Black Coffee, , Abra, Doja Cat, J.Cole (definitely J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar.....love their lyrics), and tons of instrumental stuff.

And more Prince, lately. But that took me many, many months.

For me Anderson Paak has been the new artist that has excited me most in recent years. I love his 21016 album 'Malibu'. He combines a whole lot of musical ingredients and production styles that I like and manages to come up with something that sounds very modern but references older musical styles at the same time. He doesn't sound like Prince at all (except one ballad maybe a bit), but to me it feels like he does the same kind of blending of genres and production styles. The music is forward thinking but accessible at the same time. I love it when artists can do that.

I also enjoyed Kendrick Lamar's album, but in the last two years I hve mainly been listening to (electro)funk, boogie and R&B records from the era 1975-1985.

RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

The Weeeknd (just to see if he turns away from his current commercial bent - I'm hoping)

Frank Ocean (to see if he becomes more accessible again -I'm hoping)

Oh, definitely Anderson Paak.

For some reason I always forget to mention him when I mention new music that I´ve been into.

The funny thing is that a friend of mine recommended Anderson´s music to me and I had no idea who he was talking about so I checked out Anderson Paak´s songs on Youtube and he looked and sounded so familiar to me.

Then I realized that I had been listening to his music for so long, had it on my MP3 player during my workouts....but under his old moniker Breezy Lovejoy.

I wasn´t even aware that he was actually Anderson Paak. lol

Great artist.

I listen to him and Kendrick and J.Cole almost every day.

I also like DamFunk (he used to post here on the org) but his albums are a bit difficult to buy.

Beck's new album, said to be influenced by both The Beatles and Prince.

The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days...

Me too, can't remember him posting on the org though. He reminds me a little of Roger Troutman too, which is a good thing.

It's always good to diversify your library, and thanks in large part to the Org, I have over the years.

As far as those artists I will always turn to, ther are plenty, including:

Erykah Badu
Bilal

Beck

D'Angelo
Madvillain (the wait is 13 years and counting . . .)
Maxwell

Me'Shell Ndegeocello

MF Doom

Van Hunt

The artists that have emerged in the 2000s that I look forward to following include:

Hiatus Kaiyote
The Internet
The Foreign Exchange
Frank Ocean
J*Davey
Jessie Ware

(yes . . .) Kanye West
KAYTRANADA
Kendrick Lamar

Mayer Hawthorne
Run The Jewels
The Stepkids


As far as labels, the one that has consistently put out music from innovative artists in this century has been Stones Throw.

Wow I dig your taste in music. Mine is similar. Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, I'm hoping a new Beck album will be released.

There's a lot of artists who had strong years who I just can't get into anymore (Bruno, Kanye, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys). Most artists beyond my favorites are just singles artists for me.

No major shifts, but my listening right now seems tilted toward the Euro electronic/jazz/folk area of my collection:

Goldfrapp

Little Dragon

Jose Gonzalez/Junip

Miles Davis

John Coltrane

Joni Mitchell

I've also seen a bit of a surging interest in Irish/Scottish folk sounds in the past year, and I'm digging what some contemporary artists like Kris Drever, Lau and, of course, Sinead O'Connor's difficult butt have been doing with those traditions.
