Freudian by Daniel Caesar

Daniel Caesar is a real soulful dude. The Toronto R&B singer’s debut album, Freudian, is a gorgeous and tender record. Merging soul, gospel, funk, and contemporary R&B, Daniel Caesar proves himself as a talented singer, capable of beautiful melodies. Even better is when Caesar gets to harmonize with the other talented singers featured on this project, such as Kali Uchis, H.E.R, Syd, and Charlotte Day Wilson. What is really impressive about this album is how cohesive it is; most of the transitions are unnoticeable, and it feels like you’re listening to an intimate performance—rather than a record. Leading up to this release, Caesar released a trio singles in “Get You,” “We Find Love,” and “Blessed.” These songs are the highlights off the album, taking advantage of Caesar’s strengths while providing the most memorable choruses. However, they also seem to overshadow the rest of the songs. Ultimately, this record really doesn’t give me anything I haven’t heard before; Caesar wears his influences on his sleeve and doesn’t quite set himself apart from his predecessors. This is apparent on songs like “Neu Roses” which (while one of my favs) sounds like a D’Angelo rip-off—and “Freudian,” where Caesar’s homage to Frank Ocean’s “Futura Free” feels out of place. All and all, Freudian is still a good album and marked a promising start to the young singer’s career. – @rapzebra

SATURATION II by BROCKHAMPTON
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
BLIGATORY Score: 83.5/100
Team Score: 82/100
Community Score: 85/100 (50 Votes)

This was my first experience with BROCKHAMPTON, and if you haven’t spent time with them yet, it should be yours, too. II captures the same themes and continues the story of I, but veers toward more professional mixing and gathers its styles more cohesively. “GAMBA” could sit comfortably somewhere on I if it wasn’t for the cleaner presentation of its fluid synths contrasted by its raspy, stilted screams. From this track alone we can see that II maintains a more equal balance of experimenting with pop-rap and stepping outside the boyband’s personal sonic boundaries. There are generally more lavish timbres throughout, such as the opening strings of “GUMMY” or the Indian Classical loops on “SWEET.” Both of these are excellent posse cuts, too, though they differ from those on SATURATION in that members bounce off each other a little less to focus on themselves, unless verses parallel thematically. “FIGHT” intentionally places Ameer’s and Dom’s relationships with race during their past and present, respectively, beside each other, while Kevin questions his future. This album is a bit of an abrupt turn in a technical sense, but aesthetically it’s largely the same as its predecessor. SATURATION II’s differences connect its prequel and sequel through some of the collective’s best material. However, its ambition—while not quantifiably weaker—is ostensibly different, and for that I think it's easier to parse the contrasting identities of I and II than those of II and III. – @recordsnreels

RED & WHITE (EP) by Lil Uzi Vert
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
BLIGATORY Rating: 61.8/100
Team Score: 69/100

Lil Uzi Vert is making prolonged droughts a regular method to his rollout schedule, going rather silent on solo material between emphatic returns. Looking back, things worked out alright in the Eternal Atake era, in which Uzi returned from a three year hiatus to ridiculous hype, and delivered a solid double album that did unbelievable numbers. Here in 2022, Uzi’s comeback made less of a splash than you’d expect. On one hand, RED & WHITE is succinct, and amusing, while on another hand it’s not exactly a hugely impressive outing by Uzi. Several songs in the EP hit their mark and then some, while others don’t, and ultimately the 9 song build of the project leaves fairly little room for error. Hopefully RED & WHITE will be realized as the odds and ends of a more robust album in the near future. - @devdelmolino

2000 by Joey Bada$$

This album was excellent. As the quasi-sequel to the renowned 1999, 2000 had big shoes to fill, but filled them like a hostess Twinkie. One of my favorite parts of the album was his reflection on his relationship with XXXTentacion. He talked about him as a collaborator and young artist who was able to take criticism, and then hop in the booth with Joey on the track “infinity.” When I first heard that song on X’s album, I was surprised by the collaboration, and having Joey’s side of the story was great perspective. This album is full of nuggets documenting Joey’s illustrious career thus far. 2000 is a fantastic, refreshing, and well-timed addition to my album rotation. - @rapzebra
