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

Tasha Wooden

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

Gustaf

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

Izzy

The seed- Auroro (specifically the live version)

Jelani

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

Neeka 007

Kenyon Dixon-Dream

Gary Domingos

Ice cube-ghetto vet

Dewayne Williams

I new pops would like ro James lol

CR

Y'all gotta review the Kendrick halftime show

Bdawg

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!

The FrontRoom

I love Res!

Adrian Dawson

Daniel Caesar - Transform

Arianne Thompson

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

Sovieski Perez

BONE THUGS- “WAVES”

Sovieski Perez

KRAYZIE BONE- “A LOTTA PAIN”

Brandon Jackson

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

Nolly Thando

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!

Simira

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

Kenysha

It's still in my rotation!

Tnulb

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

Kellie

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!

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

Mickey10 JB

You should check out Chloe X Halle's Tiny Desk

The FrontRoom

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

Kenysha

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

Tnulb

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.

Jiminy

Cunninlynguists - Lynguistics

Aakash

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.

John Shanley

PC 53: Sam Fender - Spit of You

Precious

Yes!!!! Janelle Monet ❤️

The FrontRoom

What a great idea! (dad)

ficy

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

PinkTater24

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

Bdawg

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

Robin

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

jeff baker

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

Precious

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

djhyjak

PC #53: SOIL ＆“PIMP”SESSIONS - Crush!

djhyjak

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

Aakash

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.

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

Precious

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.
