GOLDLINK’S ‘DIASPORA’: AN ALBUM SUMMARY
As Goldlink released his album At What Cost in 2017, he tributed it to his hometown of D.C. His newly released second studio album, Diaspora stretches his roots even further. Foreshadowing the album title’s name, he explores the dispersion of African people around the world, paying tribute to the regional sounds and African roots in music that have been formed and spread out across the globe.
It’s truly an authentic yet modern set of songs, sounds, beats and accents that celebrates and appreciates black music, and the way that it’s intertwined and interconnected across the globe. As you listen to the album, no song sounds the same; it seems like a Spotify playlist with a mix of genres, rather than focusing on one. Diaspora is a wonderful mix of afrobeat / Afropop, rap, r&b and reggae that features artists from all parts of the globe as well, such as Tyler the Creator (L.A), Wizkid (Nigeria), WESTRN (London), and Jackson Wang (Hong Kong).
If you don’t get a chance to listen to the full album, definitely try to listen to these songs from it: Zuluscreams, Maniac, U Say, Yard and Joke Ting.
Diaspora is now available on Spotify and Apple Music.
Featuring Not3s, B Young, JME and more artists, the grime star is back with a new album. Chip’s new sound includes previously released songs like “My Girl’ and “Right Now”, alongside 10 brand new tracks. He took a break from the grime scene to take on more of a pop sound in previous years, but has recently returned to where he belongs and this new album shows he’s not going anywhere- the album cover is so cute how can you not have a listen.
Thought two full-length album’s in 2018 was enough for Mr West? Think again. The release date for his third, yes third (!), album this year may be imminent due to him not to subtly hinting at it. Here is everything we know so far…
The album’s name is a combination of “Ye” and “Gandhi”, as Kanye merging “Ye” and “Jesus” for “Yeezus” wasn’t bad enough. News of the project began earlier in September when West dropped some tweets suggesting another album, and we all know he loves stirring things up on twitter. The “Touch The Sky” singer took these hints further on Instagram, posting a picture of a billboard with the caption “YANDHI 9 29 18” which we think is the release date, meaning it’s coming any day now. Also he potentially dropped the album artwork on insta- a minidisc with purple tape, copying his 2013 YEEZUS album.
Speculations have also suggested Chance the Rapper will feature on the album as the pair are already working on a new album together called “Good Ass Job”. Does Kanye West ever sleep or is he just constantly working on new albums? Lil Pump is also another suspected feature artists after him and Ye released “I Love It” earlier this month alongside that weird, weird cartoon music video of them .
AJ Tracey has linked up with Californian producer D33J for a brand-new track named “Other Man”. The collab brings together the grime artist’s distinct British style mixed with a LA rap-inspired production for a innovative sound.
This is not the first sound to be produced outside the West London native’s comfort zone. His track “3Am” with Bauer presents his experimental sounds, along with “Butterflies” with Not3s which also apparently was made by the pair sat on a sofa in 20 minutes. If only we were that musically talented…
