PinkPantheress

To Hell With It

October 15, 2021

Left-Field Pop

PinkPantheress writes brief, heartfelt songs somewhere in between bedroom pop and alt-R&B, set to beats that draw heavily from turn-of-the-century drum'n'bass and U.K. garage. Her debut mixtape is all of 18 minutes (and that's including a bonus track, which samples Adam F's classic "Circles"), and while it seems like a set of preview clips on first listen, the songs quickly prove to be highly addictive, and before long listening to it five times in a row isn't enough. Hey!

Michael Brecker

1987

Contemporary Jazz

Although he entered the music business during the early 1970s and spent the decade as a busy session musician, it wasn’t until 1986 that the saxophonist issued his debut solo offering. He plays tenor sax and EWI, a MIDI synthesizer triggered by blowing into it. He is joined by guitarist Pat Metheny, keyboardist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Charlie Haden, and drummer Jack DeJohnette.
