It's obviously a groovy, sensuous summer album, and her singing is better than ever even if the songwriting itself seems to take a backseat to the vibe.
that's very much my take

it's a bit overtly sexual for my tastes, but I support its unabashedly queer and polyamorous existence

on second thought, I need to relisten to Dirty Computer because this may be better

Electric Lady is still their masterpiece imo

Dirty Computer is more multicolor and song-minded, which suits me

2 more...

- Jenny Lewis' "Joy'All" is cherry, so much that I just got the vinyl in the mail.
- Whatever QOTSA was coming up with I knew I was gonna like, but damn this new one is awesome.

Honorable mention:
Olivia Jean's "Raving Ghost" was fun, everyone should at least sample her take on Enya's "Orinico Flow"

Hell yeah. Enya rules.

I hardly ever listen to Orinoco Flow, though.

Give Lenderman's solo album from last year a go. It's probably what you're after.

Hangover Game and Tastes Just Like It Costs were two of the best songs of 2022.

trag, Boat Songs is great. The whole thing varies from sounding like Songs Ohia to Sparklehorse. It’s definitely more of what you’re looking for.
