![]() Try not to freeze when you hear this Canadian DJ trio mesh Native American music with crushing electronic dance rhythms. A Tribe Called Red, “A Tribe Called Red”ĭance music is obviously designed to make our groove things shake, but the best stuff can be paralyzing. On her third album, this “American Idol” survivor finally uses that big voice to sing big songs about no-good men, absentee parents, the ghost of Tammy Wynette and her own backbone, which suddenly sounds as if it were made of aerospace-grade titanium.Ĩ. ![]() But it can still shimmer and glow and jingle and jangle, and make your heart ache in 4/4 time. What exactly do we expect rock-and-roll to do in the 21st century? It can’t rule the world. The real triumph is how Nabay makes his jittery dance music race across our ears without dropping any of its sweet, high-def sensuality. Washington’s own Nabay electrifies traditional bubu music from his native Sierra Leone with a hand from some Brooklyn rock musicians - but leaping oceans and centuries is this album’s secondary achievement. Janka Nabay and the Bubu Gang, “ En Yay Sah” Future doesn’t sound like a breakout hip-hop star so much as a Delta bluesman’s android descendant.ĥ. While Drake and his imitators continue to preen on the fault line between singing and rapping, this Atlanta sensation rhymes in Auto-Tuned grumbles. Her voluptuous debut - it landed in Britain this year and is expected to see stateside release in 2013 - wisely aspires to match the classiness and confidence of Sade. With so many British chanteuses willing to abuse their lungs in the name of American soul music, this 28-year-old stands out by being subtle. The latest from the rock legend and his trusty band is jammy and cagey, demanding and rewarding, thick with improvisation and rife with the fury that gushes when you refuse to let a changing world change you. There’s a big, ugly future coming to bury his generation, and Young is not gonna take it. ![]() Neil Young and Crazy Horse, “ Psychedelic Pill” As a singer, songwriter and storyteller, Ocean is every bit as fluid as he is commanding, delivering songs crammed with moods, memories and detailed characters - all sung by a protagonist who’s earned himself a place among the greats.Ģ.
