"Fitt" begins with a gritty boom-bap beat, then ascends into a harp-heavy interlude worthy of a Minnie Riperton classic before morphing into a dancehall hip-shaker. Marion Hodges, Administrative Assistant, KCRW Musicĭua Saleh, a Sudanese-born artist now based in Minneapolis, is making a splash as a genre-bending visionary, and the single "Fitt" is perhaps the most dizzyingly difficult to define. But then you immediately delete Twitter from your phone, because you get it. That funny feeling." The song has the power to make you like that tweet right away without thinking about it, because you get it. It's the song I find myself murmuring while I wash the dishes: "Carpool karaoke, Steve Aoki, Logan Paul." It's the song that caused another of my favorite creators, Joanna Robinson, to simply tweet: "There it is again. There were perhaps flashier options to highlight, like the Insta-viral " White Woman's Instagram," or the synthpop dream of tone-setting opener " Content," which for someone (me) who frequently dreams of content that doesn't exist, would have been a no-brainer.Īnd yet, it's “That Funny Feeling” - this disquieting faux-campfire sing-along about the weird, smoothing-out effect that too much time spent in front of the internet can have on a human brain - that stuck with me the most. As is the case with most of Burnham's best material, the jokes - such as they are - are delivered in song form. In short, “amazing, brother.” - Surreal Lewis, KCRW Music Internīo Burnham's tour-de-force, COVID era-defining, comedy(?) special "Inside" dropped on Netflix the Friday before Memorial Day.
“family ties” is a grand entrance for Keem into the next phase of his career, a momentous reemergence for Lamar, and a triumphant preview of what the future holds for pgLang. On “family ties,” over beat switches, flow changes, and rarely a breath in between, the 21-year-old artist proves himself worthy of going bar for bar alongside the greatest rapper of this generation. Before releasing his acclaimed debut “The Melodic Blue” this fall, Keem had a growing following and was at the forefront of Lamar’s new interdisciplinary media company, pgLang. While Lamar’s been a household name for arguably a decade, Keem is a fresh face to many. He plays with his voice, does his best Hulk Hogan impression, flexes his rap muscles, and proves that, yes, after three years of virtual silence, he’s not a “trending topic,” he’s still “a prophet.” As an artist who’s been both praised and pigeonholed for his gravitas, Kendrick lets himself have fun on this track. “family ties” finds both cousins at the top of their game.
My impatience was rewarded this summer, when “family ties,” a single by emerging artist (and Lamar’s younger cousin) Baby Keem, blessed car stereos around the world with Lamar’s feature. It’s been over four years since Kendrick Lamar released a solo album, and for as long, I’ve waited impatiently for new words from him. Might she be playing a certain festival in April? - Scott Dallavo, KCRW DJīaby Keem featuring Kendrick Lamar - "Family Ties" Southern California folks craving to see Amber Mark live should take note of the conspicuous absence of a Los Angeles date at this point in her spring West Coast tour.
Since that time, Amber has released even more stunning singles from the upcoming January 2022 album “Three Dimensions Deep,” proving that "Worth It" is no fluke. Everything I loved about it then still very much applies now, thus my mid-year sentiments stay intact here. At the mid-year point, Amber Mark's "Worth It" was my song of the year.
