Something I recall about Lil Nas X is how far he's come since he began. I've heard stuff about how he's surfed around on couches at his lowest. Seriously though, look how far he's come though. Luckily, his music is at least slightly representative of his starpower. The quality of the production is top-notch, but isn't anything you'd find out of the ordinary in the realm of hip hop. He's not a bad artist by any means, but I think his strength lies in his quirky songs. His regular music falls a bit flat for me. I can truly respect the person himself; he has quite the online personality. But, it's a special type of pop music that falls a bit outside of what I generally am interested in.

GENRE: electronic I regarded FKA Twigs  as a more experimental electronic, modern artist. Today's song feels quite grounded in conventional techniques. Nothing stands out to me as groundbreaking or pushing the boundaries of the genre. I did not expect someone else to be featured on this album either. Unfortunately it doesn't add up to much on the album. In the best case scenario, it adds to the already plain and monotonous sound. Rating: 4/10

Day 309: White Gloves by Khruangbin // 5

GENRE: indie I can't quite my finger on why I find this three-piece so alluring. They've got a style to them that evokes a carefree sensibility. That much can be seen in their song, White Gloves . Apparently it's part their first album to feature vocals, and it's a welcome addition to the canvas. No one instrument stands out any farther and more unique than the others. Each instrument is featured and mixed pretty evenly, giving me a sense of noiselessness and soothing comfort. However, I think part of that plays against their favor. It plays more like a lo-fi ditty than a fully realized song. At about 3 and a half minutes, I would expect a bit more to be fleshed out. Rating: 5/10
