If anyone reading this thinks all new rappers mumble constantly, and have no lyrical chops, then look no further than Wiki as your saviour. The standout from this song is New York rapper Wiki, who is coming off his debut album “No Mountains in Manhattan,” which was released in late August. The man who put all these artists in a room (figuratively now because of the internet), is XL Recordings label-head Russell Richards, who goes by the artist name Everything is Recorded. I had the latest Ibeyi and Kamasi Washington song on here last week, so Everything is Recorded must be a reader.

I listened to this song on Mac speakers, but would advise some big headphones. Her voice drifts in and out of the up-tempo beat here and it is mesmerizing. The things the band does to lead singer Nicole Miglis’ vocals are mind-boggling. Hundred Waters, from “Show Me Love (Skrillex Remix)” fame, is an indie/electronic group with one of the best female lead singers in the world.

Originally signed to Top Dawg Entertainment with the likes of Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q, SZA moved on to RCA Records earlier this year and her output and presence is noticeably improved since. This song is on the “Insecure” Season 2 soundtrack and the meteoric rise of that show is similar to that of SZA’s in the past year. “Quicksand” would have flowed seamlessly into her most recent release “Ctrl,” which came out in June to unanimous acclaim. She sings her sweet melodies over a laid-back, synth-heavy R&B beat, and the outcome is nothing shocking, just more great music from this on-the-rise singer. The newest track from leading lady, SZA, is directly in her wheelhouse. She released her newest album “ctrl” this past June (DeShaun Craddock/Flickr Creative Commons)Īnother quiet week for major album releases, but great singles bode well for the rest of the fall.

SZA has definitely outdone herself yet again. It actually visualizes the concept of being mentally trapped in what could feel like quicksand, but what is really an internal battle to bring yourself to love someone. “Don’t wanna be scared to love,” yet that’s the risk she’s willing to take. You’re hard to trust, why you runnin’ from me?” SZA is the best with addressing the most emotional issues to help remind us that we aren’t alone. ![]() ![]() Always hitting us with the rawest lyrics, she continues, “I’m scared of love, make it easy for me. “Should I assume it’s me, sweet disposition, switchin’ position, duckin’ submission”. The lyrics reel you in and her voice like sweet mango and venom makes you want to listen to her sing forever. This track does an amazing job with displaying SZA’s raspy yet soft vocal capabilities. SZA is back at it again with “Quicksand,” one of the most highly anticipated tracks from the addictive new HBO series Insecure.
