A preview of my forthcoming annual, year-end, favourite albums post. Below is an album that is definitely under consideration - time will tell where it ends up on, or off, the final list.
There's a smoothness to this album - a nice, creamy, refined sound rooted in R & B but touching on a variety of genres. The music itself is so wonderfully orchestrated and arranged it makes the listening experience wholly pleasurable. Although the focus does not shine on the lyrics or vocals these do not lack (something I couldn't say about the lyrics of the somewhat comparable Weeknd releases). It really is a beautiful aural journey.
Feel free to check out last year's list or my Top Albums lists dating back to 2002 on my previous Vernacular blog.
