It is Friday, and when you could also be exhausting at work interested by what your music of the summer time is — or what it needs to be — over right here within the land of New Music Friday, we have been centered on the long run. Over the previous few weeks, we have been previewing dozens of the albums that hit streaming immediately, Aug. 8, with the intention to current to you, the listener, a brief checklist of potential new faves.
This week, we liked Atlanta rapper J.I.D’s extremely anticipated God Does Like Ugly, which is overflowing with options from Clipse, Vince Staples and Ty Dolla $ign to call just a few. Amaarae’s BLACK STAR is a futuristic album steeped in nostalgia (with a needed cameo from PinkPantheress). And Ethel Cain returns with a prequel to her epochal album Preacher’s Daughter; it is known as Willoughby Tucker, I will All the time Love You.
Stephen Thompson welcomes DeShun Nance from NPR Member station WJSU’s The Sipp to the present to debate these albums and extra favorites out this week. Take heed to the present starting at 3 a.m. ET proper right here or wherever you get your podcasts.
