2023 - Asake - Mr. Money With The Vibe

2023 - Asake - Mr. Money With The Vibe @320

Asake became one of Nigeria’s biggest breakout stars in the early 2020s, thanks to a street-pop sound that mixes up snatches of local styles with big, bold hooks and vivid dispatches of life in Lagos. Mr. Money With the Vibe became the highest-charting Nigerian debut on the Billboard 200, and for good reason: Long on pleasure and presence, it offers everything from a Burna Boy cameo (the remix of “Sungba”) to hypnotically grooving burners (“Joha”) to incantatory slow ones (“Dull,” about refusing to be) and never lets up. It all adds up to a debut you shouldn’t miss. —C.H.

2021 - Arooj Aftab - Vulture Prince (Deluxe Edition)

2021 - Arooj Aftab - Vulture Prince (Deluxe Edition) @320

Grief can be intensely painful, overwhelming and hard to process, but also provide inspiration for those who make creative expression their life. For Pakistani-born, Brooklyn-based artist Arooj Afhab, the death of her beloved brother provided the inspiration for what some reviewers have called her greatest work yet: beautiful, poignant and soul-aching 2021 set Vulture Prince, which here returns to stores via a deluxe edition that boasts an extra track (the stunning 'Udhero Na'). Deeply emotional, the set pushes her weighty, emotionally inspiring vocals to the fore, with Afthab swapping experimental electronics and leftfield beats for a mixture of acoustic guitars, heavenly string arrangements (harp, violin, uptight bass) and traditional Pakistani instruments. The results are rarely less than stunning. (Juno)
