I'm still on the Teyana Taylor train; her ability to write in different styles is alluring. Or, is it her writers and producers that deserve more of the credit? Unlike her album, this single stands out to me, at least from what I've listened to so far. This legitimately sounds like it came straight from the early 2000's. From the rhythm and cadence to the overall song structure, it's hard to believe it was released in 2019. I wouldn't say this is a blunder on part of the writers. I guess it's up to your personal opinion, but I welcome the decision. I mean, just look at the aesthetic of the art. It's a fun song overall, with great production and pinpoint mixing that emulates the sounds of the decade.

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
