Feza K: Siwezi (2023, Tanzania)

Listening to the new Mountain Goats and realizing Taylor Swift is much closer to this formally (for similar reasons) than any pop music. She really is a cult act, and not in an “every act is a cult act actually” way

Semi Tee f. Kammu Dee, Miano, & DJ Maphorisa: Scooter (2020, South Africa)
From the funk to amapiano -- this song (and Semi Tee's '20 alb) had me searching for the scene that produced it, and I haven't slowed down in the intervening five years.

I did in fact move on to the Rosalia album, which is really nice. "Berghain" a weird choice for a single ("Reliquia" would have made more sense). I continue to find her a little arm's length but pretty's pretty

The new Ashley Monroe album is instructive to understand how fried my attention span has gotten -- think I would have given this album much more time ten or more years ago (it's easily her third-best and probably her second-best).

My favorite ever inspiration for a television show about AI-generated pop music (Taylor Acorn, Taylor Bravo, Taylor Charlie, Taylor Delta, Taylor Echo, Taylor Foxtrot...) has put out a pretty good song with an annoying title (it's "home movies"!)
