So I've been spending a lot of time with Brent’s discography lately, and realized its a perfect reflection of a cycle I’ve been stuck in: moving from being a pure-intentioned lover to a state of numbness where you don't believe in it anymore—even if that numbness is just a facade When listening to Brent's discography you can cleary see he went through this exact same thing. You can hear him transition from those deep, intimate, emotional tracks in early Sonder / Sonderson to this cold numbness in FTW and Wasteland, but the cracks are always there. I feel like people who enjoy Brent's music probably relate to this dynamic. I made a playlist that is kind of a reflection of this transition: going from a pure-intentioned lover to not believing in it anymore—but knowing deep down that the numbness is just a facade. The transition from Stay Down to Fast Life Bluez and then Needed is amazing and is one of the main reasons why Sonder Son is so great. Stay Down is the last attempt at a genuine connection—it’s the 'pure intention' putting its cards on the table. But the Fast Life outro is the aftermath. You care, but you are finally letting everything go and ready to just say fuck it. Lmk what you guys think, Im not factoring Icon brent cause I feel like I'm not in that stage of my life right now but I would love to be. I'd love to hear you guys opinion and if you have a different outlook on his trajectory. I'll drop the playlist in the comments. submitted by /u/Financial_Swim8606 to r/BrentFaiyaz [link] [comments]

I know this may be a hot take so just hear me out. The first time i listened to Brent Faiyaz, it was his best (imo) album, Sonder Son. I never really liked classic RnB that much, but this album, from start to finish, was a beautiful, poetic, heartbreaking, hopeful movie. Sonder Son was an album that captured Brent´s struggles with coming up, his hunger for wanting to blow up, his gratefulness despite being broke, his love stories, his hate for school. Basically all the songs on that album have food for thought in them, they are beautiful, instrumental wise and lyricially. It´s unique and it´s whole own thing, that´s why i loved this album so much. Fuck The World was imo also a very good album, this is where he really started to talk more about sex and drugs, but he didn´t do it for bragging wise. On clouded he says ´´i hit her once, i roll a blunt and now she need me. Her nigga wanna be me, but they don´t know im fighting demons, i feel like dying every season´´ You see how he doesn´t just brag about sex, he actually makes it deeper than that. Been away, fuck the world, let me know, rehab, All of these tracks have meaning in them, and are not just some brainless songs bragging about sex and drugs. But i have a thoery. At a certain point, Brent Faiyaz blew up on TikTok as we all know, and everybody started riding the boat. It was a certain sound that they liked. And this is the sound that Brent Faiyaz capitalized on. So when Wasteland dropped, he did drop a couple meaningful songs, like rollin stone and price of fame. But you could clearly see, he changed his sound completly to this fuckboy type music, where he capitalizes on bragging about sex, money, fame, girls, etc. It´s like he sold his soul. And the new album, larger than life, don´t get me started. Everyone knows that that album was the most meaningless and pointless album. He´s basically just capitalizing on the ´´toxic´´ shit or bragging that all these new fans like. My conclusion, i love Sonder Son, and i love Fuck The World. But the new Brent Faiyaz ain´t for me, respectfully. submitted by /u/CholoTheChosen27 to r/BrentFaiyaz [link] [comments]

Brent Faiyaz - WASTELAND Release Date - July 8, 2022 Wasteland is just what I felt like we living in with this post-pandemic cluster-fuck of emotions... There’s just so much shit going on in the world at large. But I still get caught up in the vices. - Brent Faiyaz on Rolling Stone Interview Listen: YouTube Spotify Apple Music Tidal Background Christopher Brent Wood - more widely known as Brent Faiyaz - is a unique figure in the world of modern R&B. Raising eyebrows as early as late 2016 when featured on the Goldlink single "Crew", which is certified 6X Platinum and had Brent receive a large amount of praise for his smooth, soft vocals on the track. It was only about a year later after releasing several EP's that he dropped his official debut album titled Sonder Son in late 2017. While not replicating the same commercial success as he previously had with Goldlink, he caught the eye of several R&B circles for his somber sound as well as vulnerable, yet honest lyrics revolving relationships with his family and partner and desire for more despite having a disdain for the world for the struggles that he's experienced in his life. Since then, Brent's released a number of EP's independently, slowly building a name for himself and often being compared to the likes of Future and The Weeknd, especially for his lyrics that can often be viewed from an unhealthy or "toxic" standpoint. It was later in about 2020 when Brent released his EP titled Fuck The World that he started to have a more notable amount of commercial success, with the project being certified Gold and peaking at #12 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and having several Gold singles from the record. Fuck The World received majority positive reviews while speaking on trauma and depression as well as unapologetically partaking in infidelity and not believing in repercussions for his actions. As more time passed, fans wondered when they were going to receive a more robust body of work. As such, Brent released his sophomore LP titled Wasteland in 2022, nearly 5 years after his debut album. The album managed to peak at #2 on the Billboard 200 and is certified Gold. Review A 19-track album, Brent tells a story of a man that struggles with his vices while dealing with the current relationships he has, ranging from topics discussing infidelity, lust, escapism, and personal insecurities. As the way it's been with his past work, the main focal point is Brent and his words, as he goes from each song speaking about rough situations backed up by production that can be generally be described as stripped back and bare, yet dramatic and ominous as Brent guides the listener throughout his current disputes and arguments with his relationship and how it's impacted his life. Toxicity Vs Euphoria The album starts off with the intro track "VILLAIN'S THEME" where Brent immediately addresses the fact that he's built a reputation for himself as one who makes "toxic" music with Jorja Smith. Brent takes the toxic label he's been tagged with and reframes it as "temporary euphoria" or an escape. Intending to make a short escape from the negativity in his life by putting it into music. He additionally dismisses the term "toxic" and refers to it as simply and internet term where people easily attach to content that makes them uncomfortable. Then there's Jorja, who argues against such claims in a back-and-forth with the singer throughout. Although initially starting the conversation started off simple, production gradually becomes more ominous with clear vocal alterations between the two, essentially setting the mood that the album will bring. As the track ends, Jorja asks the question that finalizes the setting of the tone of the album: What purpose do your vices serve in your life? The Cycle The following track is the first official song titled "LOOSE CHANGE". Largely backed up by cello notes being played throughout, Brent tries to argue what love is and the roles between him and his partner. I remember when you couldn't tell me a thing Now you talk so much, it drives me insane He additionally speaks on the frustrations he's felt in the relationship claiming that she does not make near the same effort in the relationship. While admitting that he's not been perfect in the relationship himself, thinking about making the dispute into a more physical situation but claims that he would never actually take it that far. This can be viewed that although he probably would not go to such lengths, the heat of the moment and tensions being so high can lead to him confessing that his mind would go there in order to make his partner listen. This is one of the most cathartic moments on the album as Brent continues to take out his displeasure and wondering if the relationship will last any longer. As the track continues, the GTA voice line "Here we go again" plays in the background, potentially implying that the man whose viewpoint is singing through has already had a similar dispute with his partner; they're simply continuing the cycle of a relationship where potentially neither person is completely satisfied and end up in the same fight all over again. Time & Devotion Up next is "GRAVITY". Accompanied by Tyler, Both reflect upon how their constant traveling has impacted their relationship with their partners, believing they can simply satisfy them by bringing them all types of gifts without having to come back home. This could also be viewed as a direct constrast from Brent's previous material, specifically on his 2017 song "Stay Down", where he sings the following instead Call me, I’ll be right away (I’ll be there, girl, stay right there) Tell me if you gonna stay down (Will you stay down?) I’ll be waitin' night and day The juxtaposition in the lyrical content between the two songs imply that perhaps there was a time where Brent could be more devoted and loyal to their partner. However, with time passing and having more riches, he is too busy to devote actual time in the relationship and believes his partner is making the situation more complicated, yet simultaneously acknowledging that she supported him at his low points. An interesting song lyrically following what was said in "LOOSE CHANGE" where the near opposite was stated. "HEAL YOUR HEART" is one of the small instances where there is a glimpse of Brent seeing the positivity and blissfulness in the relationship as well as wanting to find a way to mend his partner's broken heart for the potential hurt he has caused her. The tone appears to be positive and loving at first until paying attention to the slightly ominous production in addition to the first skit on the album that follows afterwards. "EGOMANIAC" has Chris coming back to see his partner expressing her frustration for not having the support from him that she needs as she carries his child, essentially confirming the topics Brent discussed on "GRAVITY". She also brings up his claims that he was the only love and support she needed, alluding to Brent's words in "HEAL YOUR HEART" failing to follow through on his words. This implies not only does he have a tendency to not commit, but also his lack of emotion and care for his partner. One line that's interesting to highlight on "HEAL YOUR HEART" is the following Fuck the whole front row at the show if you ain't there On the surface, it can be seen that Brent cares little about the people at the show if his partner is not there. However, the line could also be taken as hinting towards his sexual encounters and infidelity with other woman so long as his partner is not there to catch him in the act or satisfy him the way he wants. These subjects change the tone of "HEAL YOUR HEART" with initially having a glimpse of adoration and dedication, when taking into the context the songs and tracks that surround the interlude give it more of a manipulative tone as Brent uses empty words to convince his partner to stay with him despite being too busy with his career and other lovers to do so. Another thing to note in "EGOMANIAC" is while the expected mother is visibly angry and irritated at Brent, the tone in Chris's voice is rather casual and almost monotone. Instead of trying to reassure her and help her, he says nothing in response and only replies after his partner brings up him cheating and only dismisses it by claiming that she has the wrong idea. After leaving, the expected mother simply makes a rather calm goodbye to Brent. This can imply more than one emotion that she feels at this moment. After not properly validating her emotions in the relationship and denying that he's cheating, the expected mother could potentially tricked herself that her emotions were just rather high and she needs to calm down and forget about being upset about the situation. Something else this could imply is that after seeing how little he reacted and responded to her, she's aware that he has little concern or care for the relationship, realising that there's not much else she could say to make him care, so simply stops trying. Love Vs Lust "ALL MINE" is one of my personal favorites on the album. A sensual song Brent dedicates to his partner and reminds her of the good times they had together while claiming that she will come around so long as he doesn't give much attention or care to her. You come around if I don't do too much We had our downs but we had way more ups Let's make love This part of the album can be seen as one of the moments where there is "temporary euphoria". Instead of resolving the issue where Brent is not reciprocating or giving any actual effort in the relationship, he brings up the positive memories where they made love to one another and tries to engage it once more as a way to resolve the growing tension and keep her loyal to him. All in all, "ALL MINE" summarizes how it feels to be in lust and the usage of sex as the only part that's holding the relationship together. "PRICE OF FAME" essentially discusses the consequences that Brent has experienced from newfound stardom, with the first portion having a darker, more stripped style of production and having him discuss having to fake emotions while being careful of who may want to manipulate or take advantage. The song then transitions to be a bit lighter in production, with Brent crooning over the need for his partner and insisting that he's the best man for her despite his flaws: I never said that I was the best in the world But I'm the best for you, girl, just stay for a while In a sense, "PRICE OF FAME" can be seen as him trying to excuse his actions and his lack of effort in the relationship. Being so busy with keeping a stable career with others potentially knocking you down as well as how they're no such thing as the perfect lover potentially paint him in a better light to his partner so that she can see the good in him and understand why he is the way he is. After hearing about the dark parts of fame, she then hears about how her partner will try his hardest as long as she stays. Christopher vs Gatsby "GHETTO GATSBY" has Brent painting himself as a modern version of Jay Gatsby, a fictional , popular character in literature. This comparison is interesting for a number of reasons. For context, Jay Gatsby initially starts out in deep poverty as a result of the Roaring Twenties, additionally resulting in the loss of his lover. He eventually tries to reinvent himself by getting himself out of poverty by engaging in multiple illegal activities for the sake of making the love of his life happy and returning to how things once were between them, but said pursuit eventually leads to his own death. This juxtaposition between the two is especially significant on the last few tracks on the album, but let’s focus on this specific song for now. I can't buy you happiness if you ain't got it Move you to a place, still ain't what you wanted New new face, still not Lauren London Throughout the track, Brent describes how he buys all of these luxuries for her partner, yet she doesn’t show any happiness or satisfaction on the things he buys for her. Another interesting thing that the Gatsby comparison implies plus taking into context the lyrical content of this album so far is how Brent potentially received much of these riches through illegal methods. Whether it’s through drugs and alcohol the way Gatsby did or other ways that may be frowned upon so that Brent could satisfy his partner. The Great Gatsby paints the protagonist as someone who is - albeit naive for wanting things to go back the way they were and living in an unrealistic fantasy - still cares deeply for the love interest, even if it’s just an illusion of said love interest. While Brent is still together with his partner unlike Gatsby, Brent still can be seen as naive himself here; believing that his partner will simply be satisfied through sex and riches rather then being there through actual support and care. Desire and Self-Awareness The following track is another one of my personal favorites being “WASTING TIME”. It’s reminiscent of a classic Pharrell track and Drake does a solid job at delivering one of his better guest verses in a while. Lyrically, both discuss that while being aware that their partners have their own occupations, they still express the desire to spend more quality time with them. When taking into account the context of “GRAVITY” and “EGOMANIAC”, this can be seen from two ways. One being that he’s indeed remorseful that they do not get to spend as much time together due to their own occupations and wishes they could change this are unable to. The other is that he feels a sense of guilt knowing that he’s still responsible for the lack of time they have together and is mirroring the same sentiments his partner he feels so that he feels less guilty in the process. "ROLLING STONE" is one of the main moments on the record where Brent takes a more self-aware tone and acknowledges the fact that there is still issues in his life and himself as a person. Ask my lovers, I'm troubled First I'm exciting then I'm gaslighting, make up your mind I'm rich as fuck and I ain't nothing at the same time With the phrase going as "A rolling stone gathers no moss" referring to a person who avoids any and all troubles can prove detrimental to said person. In the context of the album, rolling stone can be referred to how Brent avoids responsibilities pertaining to his partner so that he continues growing in terms of fame and riches so that he could maintain a stable career. Transition into "FYTB", where Brent likely sings about still having a desire for love. However, Brent states while he's still looking for love, drugs are the only thing that excites him at this point and doesn't want the relationship if she's not able to provide Lately, I been lookin' for love But I only come up on the drugs, stall me out So if you ain't the one Either find me some money or find me a plug There is potential that based on the context of "ROLLING STONE" and "WASTING TIME" the character that Brent portrays is starting to feel guilt for the flaws he has as a person. As a result, he reverts to drugs to revert back to temporary euphoria. Now he's stuck between whether the drugs or love matter more to him. Following up "FYTB" is the second skit on the record "OBLIVION" where Chris is currently with another woman, essentially confirming his partner's suspicions of him cheating. An interesting line to point out is when the expected mother suddenly calls and the side chick Chris is with says the following It's not a big deal anyway, it ain't like y'all got a baby or nothing The line not only implies something negative will happen later down the storyline with the two expecting a baby on the way, but also that he has not told woman about the pregnancy. Chris is knowingly playing both women by not being honest with either of them, but continues with his actions regardless to feel a sense of thrill. Speaking of the Thrill... The next few songs on the record have Brent engaging in several of his vices for one reason or another. "DEAD MAN WALKING" describes Brent living a debauchery as a night of sex while under the influence, which based on the context of the previous skit, is implied that the woman in question is Brent's same side chick. While there's a sense of pleasure and fun that Brent may feel on the track, there's also a hint of frustration and annoying that Brent feels, more specifically with the state of how current events are happening around him. these days no "Kumbaya" N!ggas be blastin' Livin' in the midst of, this shit might drive you mad Feeling pretty mixed up, but this life shit ain't all bad This once again refers back to one of the main themes of the album, that being escapism. Being aware that there's multiple things wrong with the current time - from violence, brutality, and all around hate - and Brent uses this night of pleasure to forget all about that, if only for just a moment. "ADDICTIONS" continues with the unapologetic tone that Brent carries throughout the album. While starting the song where he acknowledges of the potential of the lust he's felt and drugs he's taken negatively impacted his life, the tone feels almost sarcastic and carefree as with it not only being one of the more upbeat tracks on the album, but Brent stating how he will still revert to his vices and habits even when his partner has given him all he's desired and being frustrated that she won't let him cave in to such vices. You done gave me all I wanted but I still got Reasons I should fuck around "ROLE MODEL" is also one of the highlights on the album for me sonically speaking. Lyrically, the track revisits the themes of Brent trying to buy his partner luxuries but her refusing because he doesn't spend the time with her and dismissing her needs while insisting they can wait for more time. You say you had enough 'cause my time ain't enough Girl, it's never enough for you But you can wait until after tomorrow Dilemmas and Downfalls "JACKIE BROWN" follows up as the next track, where Brent states the following: My new bitch look like Halle Berry But she don't love me, she too scary My old bitch fine like Jackie Brown I don't wanna love her, she too down Will you be my leading lady? I want a contract, girl no maybe Brent's finds the flaws in his current and past partners, with his current partner - in this case the expected mother - not having any love for him out of fear and his old partner having morals too low for even Brent to go back to. As a result, he goes to this new woman - likely the woman in "OBLIVION" if she will be his next, official partner and wants reassurance that nothing bad will happen in the new relationship. As the track progresses, there is a pitched up vocal playing throughout. Said vocal likely implies the thoughts goes on in his head. After the nights thinking about fame, drugs, and lust, he essentially asks himself if what he's doing truly satisfies him and doesn't fully know the answer to that question, further presenting the singer's dilemma with his current relationship as well as if he should continue with his vices. "BAD LUCK" has Brent in a more heartbroken state of mind as he wonders why she's been so distant lately and not as close as the two of them used to be. As it's been the case for some of the album's previous material, there is also hints of self-victimising and manipulation tactics. You know I put my all in you When you not here, I'm calling you If I die, I'm haunting you Knowing that he's not given her the time she's asked for in addition to cheating on her, he still claims that he's made his best efforts to keep the relationship functional, claiming that she's the reason for his unfortunate circumstances Moving on the third and final skit on the record, "WAKE UP CALL". Jarring and dramatic as it may sound, it still leaves a lasting impression and is one of the most memorable moments on the album. Chris calls his current partner, sobbing over the phone and once again expressing her frustrations with him, heavily implying that's she's about to commit suicide due to her depression as well has Chris's infidelity and absence in the relationship. With the expected mother hanging up the phone, the skit ends in a car crash that Brent gets into while trying to reach his partner. The album with the final song and ballad titled "ANGEL" where Brent is at his most regretful and desperate. Don't ever leave my side, girl I'll die But from what I know, you're always here to stay You're an angel in disguise The lyrics plus the comparison to his partner being an angel to come and save him before he dies implies that he indeed survived the car crash. However, it also implies that his partner went through with the suicide, along with the baby never being born. And with that, the album comes to an end. A Shakespearean Tragedy Brent has explained that his goal for this album was not to create an autobiography, but for Wasteland to be reminiscent of a Shakespearean Tragedy, where the protagonist has this fatal flaw that deeply impacts his character - in this case the fatal flaw being lust - eventually leading to said flaw leading to his downfall, in the context of Wasteland, Brent's flaw leading to the loss of his partner and his child. Going back to the Gatsby comparison, Chris and Gatsby share a fair amount of similarities. Not only did both of them have a good amount of riches, they still felt unsatisfied and unhappy as they did not have the relationship they wished for. Leading to them to think about a fantasy neither can realistically achieve, ultimately leading to great downfalls for both stories. Brent's intention is clearly not to paint him in a positive light, rather share a story that's honest and transparent as it can get. All in all, Wasteland is a rather impressive and thought out project, from being able to tell a single story from front to back despite its long run time. The bare, dynamic, and powerful production choices that play throughout only further compliment the album as Brent takes the listener on a journey through jarring skits, soft vocals, and cathartic storytelling as you think back of the most emotional moments of your own past experiences. Favorite Tracks: "JACKIE BROWN", "WASTING TIME", "ROLE MODEL", "ALL MINE" Favorite/Least Favorite Tracks + Best feature? What are your thoughts on the skits used for this album?

Hey everybody! I had a post last week where I sold some records that don't see enough action in my house. I was pretty happy with the turnout and was able to find new homes for most of the records I listed. I did another cull of my collection and I pulled more titles that are ready to move on to new owners. Ratings are conservative and are formatted as media/jacket. Only shipping to the contiguous U.S. Also, sorry but no holds. I had some trouble last time with people requesting I set records aside and then I never heard from them again. Death Grips - The Money Store (black, 2012 pressing. Played twice. VG+/VG+ to reflect being played more than once and the the right two corners of the jacket have very minimal white markings from handling.) $70 shipped Kanye West and Jay-Z - Watch the Throne (official picture disc pressing. Gold multi-fold jacket. Played three times and the top right corner is a little scuffed. The song Otis has a locked groove that sometimes gets stuck and other times plays through. Current available copies on Discogs are outrageous, so I'm basing pricing off of previous sales only) $269 shipped Beach Fossils - Clash the Truth + Demos (pink translucent with darker pink deluxe edition. Played one time. No OBI, but is in NM-/NM- condition.) $22 shipped Beach Fossils - What A Pleasure (gold translucent. Played once. Top right corner of jacket has very mild dent. NM-/VG+) $16 shipped *Buy both Beach Fossils records for $33 shipped* Brent Faiyaz - Paradox A.M. (red vinyl. Played one time. Jacket looks fantastic. NM-/NM-) $47 shipped Brent Faiyaz - Sonder Son (red vinyl. Unopened, still in shrink. M/M in every sense. Jacket looks perfect) $95 shipped Brent Faiyaz - Lost (black vinyl. Played one time) Sounds great and the jacket is in excellent shape. NM-/NM-) $43 shipped PARTYNEXTDOOR - PARTYNEXTDOOR 3 (black. Never played, but removed from shrink wrap. NM-/NM-) $55 shipped PARTYNEXTDOOR - PARTYMOBILE (black. Played one time. NM-/NM-) $18 shipped PARTYNEXTDOOR - COLOURS (milky clear vinyl. Never played, but removed from shrink wrap. NM-/VG+, as there is minor corner scuffing and a weird white strip at the bottom of the back of the jacket. I imagine its from manufacturing. It's hard to explain, but photos show it best. It is not damage to the jacket) $18 shipped *Buy all 3 PARTYNEXTDOOR records for $75 shipped (or if you'd like just two, DM me and we can work something out)* Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps (black vinyl. Never played, but the shrink has been removed. Jacket looks excellent. NM-/NM-) $58 shipped Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst - Better Oblivion Community Center (black. played one time. NM-/NM-) $18 shipped *Buy both Phoebe Bridgers records for $68 shipped* Mos Def - Black On Both Sides (black vinyl. Played once. Bottom right corner has mild dent. NM-/VG+) $45 shipped Kenneth Whalum - Broken Land 2 (clear vinyl. Played one time. Minor ding on top right corner of jacket. (NM-/VG+) $13 shipped Bryson Tiller - Anniversary (deluxe gatefold. Played one time. NM-/VG+ as bottom left corner is smushed) $16 shipped 2 Chainz - Based On a T.R.U. Story (black vinyl. Played thrice. Jacket has dent on left edge and top edge. Some of the coolest packaging I've ever seen for a record. VG+/VG) $50 shipped Father John Misty - Chloe and the Next 20th Century boxset (Small blemish on top right corner of box. Everything is unplayed. Includes both 7" singles, but with no poster (I accidentally knocked a glass of milk on it when taking pictures for my last post -_- everything else is milk-free though.) I received it in the mail and prefered a standard copy just for practicality. NM/VG+) $45 shipped Please ask for photos! As I said, I am being conservative with my ratings, but photos are the only way to truly and accurately convey their condition. Open to offers and more likely to accept discounts if its a bulk purchase. DM with any questions. I had a few transactions last week, but am not sure as to verify them for my Trade Counter. I still do, however, have perfect feedback on both eBay and Discogs that I'm willing to provide upon request. Also, I'm only doing PP G&S, for my own good, as well as yours. Thanks for taking a gander! submitted by /u/heirofsorrows to r/VinylCollectors [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! Haven't got a big "grail" record in a while, so looking to scratch that itch by picking up at least one of the following records: The Alchemist - This Thing of Ours (Don't have a preference on what version) Brent Faiyaz - Sonder Son (Just want the gatefold red version, not the one that comes in the clear bag) MAVI - End of the Earth (would prefer the marbled one, but will take the black as well) Injury Reserve - Drive It Like It's Stolen EP Frank Ocean - Endless The Underachievers: Renaissance Would like to trade for any of these (bonus if you have 2/3 of these) but can include cash in a trade or buy straight up if needed. Located in the US, but open to international deals. ​ Also, have a couple of more common records that I would like to grab in a lot. If you have multiple of the following records I am open to buying/trading for them (not looking to buy them individually right now): SG Lewis: Dusk/Dark/Dawn Miguel: War & Leisure Elaquent: (blessing in disguise) Helena Deland: Someone New MED, Blu, and Madlib: Bad Neighbor (VMP) submitted by /u/mjanicki5 to r/VinylCollectors [link] [comments]

Spotify Apple Music Instagram Youtube Channel Music Style: Somber Contemporary R&B that is over guitar driven or atmospheric. ​ Brent Faiyaz is quite the star in today's generation of R&B acts. Taking inspiration from 90's and early 2000's R&B acts, Brent shows that he can fit right in to that generation of R&B artists. Brent was originally a member of a group called Sonder. Sonder is a music trio with singer, Brent Faiyaz, and producers Atu and Dpat. Sonder makes music that takes a modernized futuristic take on traditional Contemporary R&B. Make sure to check out their project Into. I could go more into Sonder, but this is a write-up about Brent. ​ If you listen to Brent's music, you will immediately notice that his music is very inspired by late 90's and early 2000's R&B music. Listen to his song Talk 2 U. Notice how is sounds like Usher's song, You Make Me Wanna..., which is a 90's R&B classic. Listening to both of these songs will tell you that if Brent was an artist during that time, he would fit right in. While the throwback sound is nothing new in R&B music. You have acts like Anderson East emulating 60s and 70s Blue-Eyed-Soul music, Dvsn moving with modernized 90's Contemporary R&B, Giveon with old school traditional Soul with Jazz, Bruno Mars with late 80s New Jack Swing, Syd working with Aaliyah and Brandy inspired vocals, Ella Mai tapping into 90's nostalgia, Dru Chen incorporating traditional funk with Pop, Soul, and R&B along with many other artists. ​ The guitar driven aspect of Brent's music is what fills that 2000's R&B nostalgia trope. However, the thing with Brent is that he isn't aiming for nostalgia, he's using his influences to make a sound that he sees fit. A lot of Brent's music often contains an atmospheric sound (Allure, DSN, Poison), ominous vibes (Fuck the World (Summer in London), Pounds, Whyz it so Hard), hip hop based (Gang over Love, Running on E, Clouded), a somber tone (Came Right Back, Natural Release, So Far Gone / Fast Life Blues), a saxophone solo (L.A.), an electric guitar solo (Target on my Chest), and even some psychedelia (Gravity). Brent takes the modern style of R&B, and approaches it in an unconventional manner while still staying true to the genre's stylistic roots. ​ I'll admit that when I first listened to Brent Faiyaz, I wasn't expecting much vocally. After listening to quite a few of this generation's male R&B singers, I gained a perception that there's a good chunk of them that are below average vocally. I'm glad that no longer have that perception and Brent was one of the artists that helped me remove that mindset. Brent's singing voice is reminiscent of the late 90s and early 2000's R&B crooners such as Ginuwine, Usher, Trey Songz, Mario, Frankie J, and Jon B. His singing voice perfectly fits the template for 2000's and 90's R&B singers. It's generally very soothing and sensual, while becoming soulful when needed. Brent shows that he can croon just fine in songs like Skyline, Bluffin, and Needed along with moving to a more soulful tone like in Eden, Home and Invite Me. Some more of his songs where he shows off his vocal are Soon Az I Get Home, Target on My Chest, So Far Gone / Fast Life Blues, L.A., and Lovely. If you want more proof regarding his vocals, watch this live performance of Poison. Brent has also showed that he can rap along with his singing. He can use a sing rap style as seen in Clouded and Around Me. ​ Lyrically Brent's topic often revolve around love and relationship, but he also takes a hip hop approach to topics. Songs like Pounds deal with addiction while tracks like Why'z It So Hard deal with the negative imagery of black men portrayed in media. He often tells tales from childhood like in Home, so his lyrics tend to revolve around of many topics compared to the average R&B singer. When Brent talks about love, his lyrics seem somber on the surface level, but are actually confrontational. There somewhat demanding, while possessing level of insecurity. ​ If you want something heavily atmospheric, listen to A.M. Paradox. If you're in the mood for some 2000's guitar driven Contemporary R&B, listen to Sonder Son. If you like ominous with some sing rapping, listen to Lost. If you're a Weeknd fan and want a Contemporary R&B version of Trilogy, listen to Fuck the World. Some of my favorite Brent Faiyaz songs: Allure, Running on E, Lovely, Insecure, Poison, Natural Release, Home, First World Problemz / Nobody Cares, Stay Down, L.A., Missin Out, Talk 2 U, Sore Far Gone / Fast Life Blues, Needed, Came Right Back, Around Me, Pounds, Target On My Chest, Skyline, Been Away, Let Me Know, Soon Az I Get Home, Rehad (Winter in Paris), Bluffin, Eden Here's a Spotify and Apple Music playlist for Brent Faiyaz. Here are some good performances: Talk 2 U (DDICL Performance), Too Fast (Into Tour 2018), Missin Out (Live) The Next R&B Artist Spotlight: Sudan Archives If You use discord, make sure to check out the R&B Discord Server.

Alright I’m late to the party on this, obviously. When this album came out 2 of my best friends (brothers) insisted this guy was completely overrated and hence I never really checked out him or his albums. Well I decided to listen to some RnB albums I’ve never heard tonight while having a cigar on July 4th and this album “Sonder Son” is truly a classic IMO. I feel so bad that I slept on this for this long. Holy shit there is SO So SO many bangers on here. I’m wondering what other albums/artists y’all love that I may have slept on? EDIT: Also just listening to “Trust” for the first time. LOL this guy is a fucking legend or am I high???? submitted by /u/OhhWowzers to r/RnBHeads [link] [comments]
