What many people consider to be the best song on Revival, Hands To Myself is a slinky, Prince-inspired post-funk number produced by Max Martin at his most experimental.

Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-snubbed 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly is hard to parse.It's a happy birthday to Selena Gomez from Official Charts today, as the multi-hyphenate superstar turns 30 today! The 80-minute LP was an unwieldy, ambitious force of nature, which inspired unequivocal praise before anyone could have possibly sorted through its endless nuances. It features not just Lamar’s typical lyrical veracity and nu-’90s musical sensibility, but epic poetry, knotty jazz combo arrangements, and dense political and sociological tirades that could inspire anyone to burn their high school American history textbooks. Last Friday’s new/old Lamar project - untitled unmastered. is an ostensible compilation of outtakes from that album’s lengthy sessions, and much more concise and immediate. Still, it manages to be nearly as good, if not better, pursuing TPAB’s general train of musical thought, but inflecting in a more playful sensibility. Listening to Lamar indulge his strangest, sometimes least typically “hip-hop” ideas here documents what an ungreased, first spark of Kendrickspiration sounds like. More amazing is how naturally these dovetailed, fractured, and incomplete, but soulful bromides make a coherent suite of music. These songs have enough detail to furnish repeated listening - and are strangely infectiousness despite their often avant-garde leanings. makes it clear why and how Lamar’s mind works like no one else’s in hip-hop at the moment, by stripping away some of its finery. The loose, unfinished nature of these sometimes goofy tracks is often their greatest strength. Here are the five best tracks from the album, which comes highly recommended.Issued without advance notice 17 days after Kendrick Lamar's riveting 2016 Grammy Awards performance, untitled unmastered. consists of eight demos that are simply numbered and dated. Apart from segments previewed at the Grammys and late-night television appearances, there was no formal promotion. The dates indicate that the majority of the material was made during the sessions for that album, and the presence of many of its players and vocalists is unmistakable.Ī postscript, it's (artfully) artless in presentation - not even basic credits appear on the Army green liner card in the compact disc edition - yet it's almost as lyrically and musically rich as To Pimp a Butterfly. This was assembled with a high level of care that is immediately evident, its components sequenced to foster an easy listen. Track-to-track flow, however, is about the only aspect of this release that can be called smooth. After an intimate spoken intro from Bilal, the set segues into an urgent judgment-day scenario with squealing strings and a resounding bassline as Lamar confronts mortality and extinction with urgent exasperation. He observes terrifying scenes all the while sensing possible relief ("No more running from world wars," "No more discriminating the poor"). Offers this and other variations on the connected themes of societal ills, faith, and survival that drove the output it follows, with Lamar at his best when countering proudly materialistic boasts with ever-striking acknowledgments of the odds perilously weighted against his people.
