Release Radar 9/4/20: Dirty Heads vs Chet Baker

Usually, I start my Release Radar with some rock and roll, or hip hop. But this time I’m starting with my jazz cut of the week. That’s because my boy Chet Baker has made a special appearance with “Easy To Love.” Chet, you are my everything.

Whos’s ready to “Tap In” to some Gucci Coochie with this hot number Saweetie? Those lips…

Count me and DaBaby in! I love the way this song starts with a sample from the king of sex rap, Too Short, “Biiiiiiiiiiiitch!” Each verse is solid, including Jack Harlow’s, but I love what Post Malone does at the end. He’s “horny,” yet charismatic if that’s possible? Still keeping his verse intelligent, I’m a big fan of that man.

Hands down my favorite track of the week is “Earthquake Weather” by The Dirty Heads. I love that they bring it back to where they began. Hinting at 311 with some cool guitars, these boys deliver some great verses. #VacationForever

I wasn’t expecting this Sting collab with Melody Gardot to be anything special, but I find myself enjoying it. The Sting effect is subtle but efficient.

That sunflower pic is all Declan McKenna. Sometimes I believe he is singlehandedly bringing back Brit-Pop. “Rapture” feels a bit like the Strokes and the Kooks had a baby.

Finally, Big Sean had the line of the week, where on his latest single “Harder Than My Demons,” he declares “God got me working harder than my demons.”
