Happy Friday, everyone from

It's New Music Friday. And we're looking at the best albums out now on March 18, starting with
Rosalía's
Motomami
Share
Speaker 7
00:56
[CUUUUuuuuuute -
Rosalía
]Share
Robin Hilton
01:44
This is
Rosalía
from her album Motomami
. The song is CUUUUuuuuuute, C-U-U-U-C-EShare
01:51
Showing the many sides and shades of her music on this new album,
Motomami
. This is obviously one of the most anticipated releases of the year. I know we all have thoughts Reanna, I'll start with you.Share
Reanna Cruz
02:02
Oh, man! You know I've been a fan of
Rosalía
for the past couple of years. But I really like her pop stuff. So this record really was interesting to me because it found her drifting away from the Spanish pop grind that she was on and more into more radio sounds like reggaeton and bachata. And I like that turn from her, I don't knowShare
02:22
I've seen a lot of people talk about Chicken Teriyaki is like, oh no, like what is this album gonna be? But I really like that track, and I think the album at Large is indicative of this reggaeton sound that she's trying to harness. I dug it a lot.
Share
Tariq Moody
02:37
I love this global sounds of blending of hip hop, R and B. She is like
Madonna
meets M. I. A
meets Lil' Kim
meets like she is just bringing all those influences inShare
Tom Huizenga
02:50
Dropping some names there.
Share
Tariq Moody
02:51
It's such a fun record and I love it. Let's run a cute when it's this machine gun, percussive. Then all of a sudden it just flips into this beautiful singing and piano and there was a couple of tracks she does that
Share
Tom Huizenga
03:02
You know, I was about to say that, you know, oh, what a surprise from
Rosalía
, this new record. But frankly, I'm just not really surprised about anything she does these days because I think she's really, especially with this record, I think she's becoming something of a pop, on tour, an experimenter along the lines of FKA Twigs
or Byork
or at a left turn, maybe Kacey Musgraves
Share
03:22
I mean she's not afraid to process her voice into many different persona on the record, and she does a really daring, bold job of mixing the traditional with technology and the amount of sounds that she gets on the record are just really incredible. And I think you look at the opening track for instance, Saoko really sets the tone in a way.
Share
03:45
[Saoko -
Rosalía
]Share
Tom Huizenga
04:06
She says, I'm very much me, I transform a butterfly, I contradict myself. And of course, you just think of that. Most of us might think of that
Walt Whitman
poem "Song Of Myself
" where he says, I am large. I contain multitudes, I contradict myself and I at this point, you know, Rosalía
contains multitudes.Share
Robin Hilton
04:27
The conversation around her last record was a lot about how she blended flamenco with newer sounds, and there's a lot less of that on this record. But she does do a song called "Bulerías" that I want to play a bit of, she credits it as a traditional song. Bulerías is a flamenco rhythm.
Share
05:15
[Bulerías -
Rosalía
]Share
Tom Huizenga
05:16
What's cool about this is that? And you hear the palm master, which is inherent in flamenco music and hear the palmas, they're all processed. Do you hear it? It's all processed palmas, but she sings this line, "I'm as much a flamenco cantatore, a flamenco singer when I'm wearing a Versace tracksuit," and she goes on to say I'm I'm the girl on fire. I'm very much myself, you know, so
Share
05:41
Yeah, there's also the people, you know, when you, if you go to a flamenco performance, people in the audience are reacting to what they're seeing on stage often saying, you hear some of that on this as people react to what she's singing
Share
Tariq Moody
05:53
And going back to the
Lil' Kim
mentioned that there's a verse in Bulerías where she goes, "May God bless Pastor and Mercè", who are famous flamico artists, and then she goes on to bless Lil' Kim
to go and M. I. A
just her swagger and just I love her swagger.Share
Reanna Cruz
06:09
My favorite song on the album is La fama with
The Weeknd
and I think that's really indicative of Rosalía
and where she's going to go because she has one of the biggest stars in the world doing bachata with herShare
Robin Hilton
06:20
Well, hazel sills with
NPR Music
was on the show recently, and she used the phrase "Intimidatingly cool" to describe another artist we've featured, and I'm going to borrow that to describe Rosalía
because I just find her and this album to be supremely badass Motomami
is the record from Rosalía
.Share
06:39
Let's go to something wildly different. Also out now on March 18 from the late composer
Jóhann Jóhannsson
. It's a posthumous album called, "Drone Mass."Share
06:52
[Drone Mass -
Jóhann Jóhannsson
]Share
Speaker 6
07:23
From composer
Jóhann Jóhannsson
. The album is, Drone Mass. This cut is too, is apocryphal.Share
07:29
If you don't know
Jóhann Jóhannsson
, he may have scored a movie that you love, he did Arrival
, Sicario
, Prisoners
, The Theory Of Everything
so many more movies, he died suddenly in 2018, he was only 48 years old. Tom what's the story behind this new record.Share
Tom Huizenga
07:44
Just coming off that
Rosalía
couldn't be any more different. I love that slowly seesawing bed of strings and voices, with the soprano floating way up overhead and a very kind of high renaissance stop.Share
Speaker 9
07:56
This record is called drone mass, and it's really neither, it's not exactly droney, and it's certainly not the high roman catholic mass template. It's really more of an electroacoustic cantata for string quartet, eight voices and electronics.
Share
08:16
And I think this is
Jóhann Jóhannsson's
magnum opus. And my recommendation is to just get rid of all external stimuli and just listen to the whole piece uninterrupted, it unfolds like kind of a ritual. It takes about 45 minutes. Not unlike Rosalía
. It's a very potent blend of old school like acoustic voices, acoustic instruments With modern electronics.Share
08:42
It's
Jóhann Jóhannsson
himself. They found a track of his because he performed this piece live. It premiered in 2015 and the producers found his track and slipped it in here with the performance of the musicians. So it is kind of Jóhann Jóhannsson
coming back from The Great Beyond to give us one of his most potent pieces.Share
Robin Hilton
09:03
I think let's hear a little bit of one of the songs where you hear his electronics that he added. This is called, "Taking The Night Air."
Share
09:57
[Taking The Night Air -
Jóhann Jóhannsson
]Share
Speaker 9
10:12
The feel is just like you're hurtling through space and this is the music of the heavens, so trippy, so beautiful. It's an incredible ride.
Share
Reanna Cruz
10:20
My favorite
Johansson
is the score that he did for the film Mandy
in 2018 starring Nicolas Cage
, highly recommend. But the Mandy
score, was the last piece of music that he completed before his death.Share
10:34
And I think it's interesting because that soundtrack is all drone metal, and it leans heavily on this mix of droning and electronic and this guitar that he does throughout it, it's really great. But This record kind of does the same thing. This like droning and I wonder what he would have done if he lived past 48 and lean more heavily into this drone scoring.
Share
Robin Hilton
11:02
I haven't listened to the
Mandy
score because I'm kind of terrified to, I've also been afraid to watch the movie becauseShare
11:08
I have it on vinyl, it's an incredibly cursed vinyl. I have not played it once because it brings bad energy in the best way.
Share
Tom Huizenga
11:16
Speaking of drones, I mean,
Johansson
did say that he was influenced by the sound of drones, but he also made mention of the drones that view us from above as a kind of a, you know, a new technological deity of some sort.Share
11:34
So he was aware of this dual meaning to the word, but I think the whole piece really takes on a more mystical tone, knowing that the composer is gone, you know, taken far too early to another realm. But you know, what a fantastic piece of art he left with us. And I think this is, this is going to be up there in one of my favorite records of the year.
Share
Robin Hilton
11:55
Yeah, I really miss him, Tom. And I'm so thrilled to get this new record from
Jóhann Jóhannsson
. It's called drone Mass.Share
12:03
Let's talk about one more album before we take a break, and we're totally shifting gears here again. This is from the rapper Raw Poetic and the producer, Daniel The Fudge Monk. Their new album together is called, "Laminated Skies."
Share
12:14
[Laminated Skies - Raw Poetic & Damu The Fudgemunk]
Share
Robin Hilton
12:38
Raw Poetic out of
Northern Virginia
down with The Fudgemunk, DC
Producer, rapper, multi-instrumentalist working together on this record, Laminated Skies, the song Open Road's in fact, let's just play a little bit of the in here, so you can hear the damage. Damu The Fudgemunk just killing it on these drums.Share
13:36
[Open Road - Damu The Fudgemunk]
Share
Robin Hilton
13:46
Just pop on that snare is so addictive. I love it.
Share
Tariq Moody
13:53
Yeah, sometimes you know, I love all the experimental, innovative hip hop is going down. But sometimes I want to, I just need to go a little bit of nostalgia and definitely has this golden age of hip hop. But also he kind of flow reminds me of Speech,
Arrested Development
, if you remember Speech. The flow is very kind of similar, except speech kind of has that Atlanta vibe. And he and raw product brings this east coast vibe to it.Share
14:19
But also he collaborated with his uncle. It will be the legendary jazz musician saxophonist
Archie Shepp
. Which is cool where you definitely hear the jazz vibes.Share
14:30
What I love about this lyrically, it's a spiritual hip hop release. It's just it's nice. It's meditative. It's a meditative hip hop release for me just think about the good things in life and that sometimes I need that. But Open Road. It was a great track.
Share
14:46
But Chewing Gum the next track afterwards. Just the bass, the guitars on that one man. That's just, I just love the baseline and just funky. Just the jazz, the rhymes, just the flow. It's just a pure golden age hip hop record that's kind of missing sometimes. And nothing wrong with little nostalgia
Share
Robin Hilton
15:05
Tariq, you mentioned Chewing Gum and also this flow. I actually wanted to play a little bit of chewing gum, so people can hear this
Share
15:10
[Chewing Gum - Raw Poetic & Damu The Fudgemunk]
Share
Robin Hilton
15:25
Yeah, he throws a lot of bars at you and some and sometimes these, these lyrics are kind of cryptic.
Share
Tom Huizenga
15:33
I do think there's a lot of wisdom on the record. I mean I get sometimes I get a little vibe of
Gil Scott-Heron
on the record and I remember listening to the record he made with Archie Shepp
, his uncle and, which is even more of a jazz field there. But this record I felt was a little bit of a new territory for him because I know I just felt like, yes, we've heard like good examples of his flows and stuff like that.Share
15:58
But there's a lot of actual singing, really nice singing on the record to and I feel like it has a more open airy,
Robert Glasper
, like genre erasing inclusiveness about it. There's a lot of, a lot of songs are set up kind of like rock songs and pop songs and I too felt like it was, you know, something different, something a little breath of fresh air that kind of says summer to me, but it's a very appealing sound.Share
Tariq Moody
16:24
I love to hear this type of hip hop on the radio along with all the other hip hop. Like I feel like people forget how diverse and beautiful hip hop can be because you know what you hear on the radio.
Share
16:35
Commercial radio is one side of hip hop and this brings a whole different dimension that I feel like a lot of younger people probably never heard
Share
Robin Hilton
16:44
Raw Poetic & Damu The Fudgemunk together on a new one called, Laminated Skies. We do need to take a quick break, but when we come back we'll talk about that new
Charli XCX
album that's out now, along with a few other releases we're loving this weekShare

Robin Hilton
17:52
It's New Music Friday from
NPR
and All Songs Considered. I'm Robin Hilton. We're taking a look at the best albums out now. On March 18th, we start the second half of the show-off with Charli XCX
. Her new one is called, "Crash"Share
18:13
[Crash -
Charli
XC]Share
Robin Hilton
19:04
Has your life completely fallen apart, and you're full of self looping? Has never sounded better?
Share
Reanna Cruz
19:11
I don't think so.
Share
Tom Huizenga
19:13
Could this be our summer album on constant repeat?
Share
Reanna Cruz
19:16
It's a good one Tom
Share
Robin Hilton
19:17
This has Crash the title cut to the album, Crash from
Charli XCX
, Another one of the big anticipated releases of the year once she was working on, actually before her 2020 record, "How I'm Feeling Now". She shelved it came back after the pandemic, it's here now. What does everyone think?Share
Reanna Cruz
19:34
So, I really liked it. I'm an angel growing through that comes to the surprise of no one. I really enjoyed the new Charlie record and I had a conversation with her yesterday and something that she said was that this is her selling out record, and she is fine with selling out and that's really interesting coming off of her previous career where she's worked in these pop, strictly Bubble Gum pop and like hyper pop spaces and there's sort of that duality in her career.
Share
19:60
But this is her leaning fully into the major label, pop music and working with her label and working with A and R. And kind of harnessing that mega, massive pop star sound and that's really reflected in the record. She's not really working with people like
Dylan Brady
anymore.Share
Speaker 11
20:16
She's working with people like
Oneohtrix Point Never
who has lots of credits with artists like The Weeknd
and people like Ariel Lichtenstein who produced her first two albums for her and that sort of pivot back to the early stages of her career, kind of reflects her career at large.Share
Reanna Cruz
20:34
It's her last album with
Atlantic
and what she told me, she was like, I want to work with Atlantic
on this record, it's my last album on a major label and I want to use their resources because I've been not for the past several years.Share
20:49
I think the record is better for it. I think this is her massive pop star record. Her influences were
Janet
and Madonna
, and I could totally see that throughout another Madonna
drop of the episode. But I, you know, I really like it. I think she's doing really great things on this album.Share
Tariq Moody
21:06
I be honest with the Bubble Gum pop, I don't like it, but this record, normally I would say, I would not like this, but there's something about this that wasn't, it was a little more grittier than the pop that I've heard from her in the past.
Share
Reanna Cruz
21:20
Yeah, this is, I mean, she's called this her
Janet
album before, Before it was called Crash
and before How I'm feeling now came to be should be on twitter, like I'm working on this Janet
album with AG Cook
and you can kind of see that throughout it's this 80's and 90s sort of gated reverb type production that really makes for excellent music and the grittiness that you speak of, kind of comes from what she's been doing the past couple of years, doing this underground, experimental work with quote unquote hyper pop artists.Share
Robin Hilton
21:49
I joked at the beginning about how has "Your Life Completely Falling Apart" ever sounded better. But it is an interesting theme that she has on this record, and it's one that I've been seeing a lot in pop music lately.
Share
22:00
I don't know what you all think, but it's the idea of taking all of your anxieties and insecurities, and even moments of self loathing and channeling it all into this is just the super catchy pop bangers, I think of like Girl in Red doing that on serotonin, you know?
Share
Tom Huizenga
22:15
Well, just look at the song called, "Yuck"
Share
22:45
[Yuck -
Charli XCX
]Share
Tom Huizenga
22:46
She's embarrassed to be accepting her lover's lovey dovey advances, but it is so catchy. It could be like it could be a Kasey Musgraves duet. You know, it's just this record is one amazing Pop Delicacy after another and I wasn't kidding when I said this could be our summer album on constant repeat the song, "Baby", which might be my favorite on the record.
Share
23:13
It starts out with this Bollywood strings intro that just slips seamlessly seamlessly into a major page out of the rick James funk playbook. Like, give it to me baby. It's right there in the rhythm
Share
23:27
[Baby -
Charli XCX
]Share
23:30
And the song is so sexy. You know, she's gonna do you in the kitchen, she's going to take control. And then at the end of the song, which is interesting, it takes us darker turn and she says, you know, I'm gonna f- you up, I'm gonna f- you up, which is a little bit of a disconcerting way to end the song. So, Robin, I hear you when you say like, there are these darker moments in her life and the records named
Crash
.Share
24:02
And I guess I don't think of
Charli
has ever crashing to you. I think she seems like this 24/7 adventurer. But I think she's just been so smart at surveying the pop landscape with this astonishing agility for all these years and creating a catalog of very varied music from a lot of different styles, but always has her stamp on it.Share
Reanna Cruz
24:21
This record also finds her more introspective. And I resonate with her saying that it's like everything crashing. Like it really is no other way. There really is no other way to put it.
Share
Robin Hilton
24:31
I'm wondering if anybody else thought of the
David Cronenberg
movie Crash
? Did that come to mind?Share
Reanna Cruz
24:37
Yes, yes, yeah.
Share
Robin Hilton
24:40
Super creepy movie all about people who get off on being in car crashes, and you know, like you look at the cover of this and
Charli's
, you know, she's in the string bikini and a suggestive pose on the hood of a car that's just crashed. She's got blood all over her face, and it's just in the same way she's making these hot jams out of angst and insecurities. It's like she's saying that being broken is sexy.Share
Reanna Cruz
25:02
In our conversation. I kind of talked to her about that, and I was like, was the
Cronenberg
film at all, like an inspiration. And she said sort of because the movie is about these people who want and feed off their favorite things and that thing is destruction, and they'll go out of any length to feel the sexuality and connection through that destructionShare
Robin Hilton
25:22
Crashes the new record from
Charli XCX
. We have one more album that we want to play and talk about. But as always, there are a few other records out today that we're excited about. So let's just go around the virtual room here. Tariq will start with you.Share
Tariq Moody
25:35
Cypress Hill
"Back In Black" is their first album since 2018, produced by one of my favorite hip hop producers, Black Milk
out of Detroit
, and it's just a boom bap banging hip hop record.Share
Robin Hilton
25:48
Here's a cut called "Open Your Mind."
Share
25:51
[Open Your Mind - Cypress Hill]
Share
Robin Hilton
26:10
Legends that been out for over 30 years. Alright, Reanna.
Share
Reanna Cruz
26:14
Yeah, so in the young culture fashion there's a movement going on right now that's being spearheaded by this group
Drain Gang
which is made up of Bladee
, Ecco2K
, Thaiboy Digital
and Whitearmor. And today a surprise release comes from Bladee
and Ecco2K
on a joint tape called, "Crest." Here's a cut called "Crest"Share
Robin Hilton
26:55
I love it, Tom.
Share
Tom Huizenga
26:56
Well, Reanna, you talked about the young culture. I've got old culture for you guys. Her name is
Ruth Slenczynska
, and she just dropped a new record today. She is 97. It's her first record for decade in over 60 yearsShare
Robin Hilton
27:12
Six zero?
Share
Tom Huizenga
27:13
Yes, over 60 years.
Share
27:16
She's often described as Sergei, Rachmaninoff's last living student. She met him in 1934 when she was nine and studied with him for two years. And here she is playing "Rachmaninoff Prelude."
Share
27:29
[Rachmaninoff Prelude - Ruth Slenczynska]
Share
Robin Hilton
27:51
And this is a recent recording of her at 97 performing?
Share
Tom Huizenga
27:55
Yes, she is 97. She just signed a record deal, and she's in motion
Share
Tariq Moody
28:02
Doing more than me. I'll tell you that.
Share
Robin Hilton
28:04
Same here, wow! Alright, and I just want to flag that the band Broadcast has three releases out today. Mother is the Milky Way, Microtronics, and Made Avail Sessions. All three have been released in various hard to find ways over the years, but they've been remastered, and now they're available on streaming services for the first time. Here's a bit of a song called 64 from the record Made Avail Sessions
Share
28:31
[Made Avail Sessions - Broadcast]
Share
Robin Hilton
28:44
There's some real diehard Broadcast fans out there who will be very excited to know that these records are now available online.
Share
28:53
The band formed in the mid 90's, the singer
Trish Keenan
died suddenly of pneumonia in 2011 and Warp Records
has since been, you know, trickling out the rare recordings from the band Broadcast three releases today, Milky Way, Microtronics and Made Avail Sessions. All that music is out now on March 18th along with this last one that we want to feature from the band Yumi Zouma
, it's called, Present TenseShare
29:30
[Astral Projections -
Yumi Zouma
]Share
Robin Hilton
30:09
Yumi Zouma
is the band, Present Tenses the record. This is the closing cut, Astral Projections. A band from New Zealand. That makes what I would call comfort pop. I don't know what you think, but it's like it's everything's gonna be okay pop. You know, a little wistful, little reflective, a little hopeful.Share
Reanna Cruz
30:37
I thought this album sounded like the soundtrack of
The Coming Of Age
movie and I mean that is the best. I imagine this record like playing in the background.Share
30:47
Yeah, everything's gonna be alright. It reminds me a lot of someone like Sharon who makes this music that's very reflective but also poppy and this really isn't like the sound that I find myself returning to often this sort of guitar driven pop music. But I really like this album, and they made me a fan as soon as they're released, Give it hell.
Share
Tom Huizenga
31:06
I really like the, you know, the retro 80's sound there with a kind of vibey guitar and the big beat. And the record seems to be, you know, pretty solid
Yumi Zouma
. It's a part and parcel of the band's kind of this polished, breezy, synth pop, light rock sound that goes down very smooth with hooks that lingerShare
Robin Hilton
31:25
Yeah, sort of post party pop. It's the music you're listening to in the car on your way home from the party, and it's 2 o'clock in the morning. It reminded me of a band called
The Sundays
. If you, I don't know, ran if you ever heard The Sundays
, a band from the late 80s, early 90s that had a very similar sort of vibe to their music.Share
Tariq Moody
31:44
It's like
Sundays
and Mazzy Star
. Like I was both, I mean, I mean I was groupies of those bands. Just love Sundays
and Mazzy Star
, and it does have that that song you played doesn't remind me of that 90's kind of indie pop sound that was very popular when I was young, long time ago.Share
Reanna Cruz
32:03
Definitely massive
Mazzy Star
energy. I totally get.Share
Robin Hilton
32:07
That the name of the record I thought was interesting because, you know, just present tense. On the one hand, it feels kind of like a throwaway title, but tents can mean more than one thing. In this case, it's a reference to the state of the world and that it is presently very tense in the state of the world. Even as much of the world is emerging from its two-year cocoon that we've been building. We're up to our eyeballs and just the sea of uncertainty right now. And I feel like that title addresses that I didn't even get that.
Share
Tom Huizenga
32:39
That went right over my head. Thank you
Share
Robin Hilton
32:41
Presently, very tense. Very, very tense
Share
Tariq Moody
32:46
And I just want to go back in my cocoon and just seal it up.
Share
Reanna Cruz
32:49
I find it interesting that it's called present tense when they're making this sort of wistful throwbacky sound that they're doing.
Share
Tom Huizenga
