Is there any modern pop music that is as compelling, interesting or important as this?

That cover looks so full on retarded I've never bothered to ask what it is

It's Jai Paul's 'album', pretty much a collection of demos and allegedly unfinished tracks that got leaked.
It's absolutely genius lofi r&b/pop that is like nothing else out there, really.
If this album ever finally drops it could spark a new movement for independent pop music.
>>61002320
This sounds really interesting. Hope you're not memeing.
i have never ever understood the hype behind this
its literally just scraps and shitty demos but he's hailed as a god
>>61002320
>independent pop music.
>signed to XL
nah m8 ur reaching
jai is g0d tho
>>61002320

literally how
>>61002347
>Who is Daniel Johnston?
>>61002347
I like it but can kinda see he is overrated
but to be fair it was interesting for it's time and influenced a few artists. You saw more of a sound like this later kinda with James Blake.
BTSU and Jasmine are pretty good catchy pop songs though.
I guess its also that innocence of the "solo producer/songwriter" working from his bedroom praise.
Sometimes people are in the right place at the right time.

No I'm not memeing, the leak has been one of the worst things in recent memory of independent music as the full project may never actually drop.
>>61002347
The lo-fi sound isn't the result of them being demos, that's his actual style. The 'scraps' are more like interludes. It's closer to being a finished project than you think.
>>61002347
the demos are really the album, but XL probably told jai they couldn't clear the samples so he "leaked" them
Jai's style is like a perfect blend of everything.
has this recent past nostalgia thing we all love but the way he records and produces sounds like you're hearing a brand new tune premiering on the radio for the first time.
man is a genius

Skeptical anon here. thanks guys. I must admit that when I first gave it a listen, I was under the impression that it wasn't even his stuff - that was the rumour going around at the time. I'll give it another go with a fresh mindset. Cheers. and yeah jasmine demo will always be the jam
>>61002357
I feel like if XL had any real influence on him his sound would be different, he has too much originality and risk-taking to be allowed anything less than full artistic control by the label, you know?
The lack of media presence, the unorthodox approach to his music; it all *feels* independent.
Even though it's not.
>>61002366
It's a distinctly British take on an established form of music, taking pop and stripping it of its accessibility. The Brits have a knack for creating underground movements that pride themselves on being raw.
It happened with grime, why not pop?
>>61002394
yeah I see that, same with Burial and shit. I hold out hope that there is still massive potential in his music, that the ship hasn't sailed.
>>61002404
D'you think? Woah.
>>61002470
>It's a distinctly British take on an established form of music, taking pop and stripping it of its accessibility

>implying Lil B isn't one of the most important artists of the decade
excuse me sir bitch mob task force would like to have a word with you
>>61002619
he used to be, but he has become a parody of himself,really. all he does is reblog /pol/ tier shit and makes girls send him feet pics
still based. but I think he's lost sight
>>61002617
clammy clams is good but I just think jai's demos in terms of producing and songwriting put clams to shame.
>>61002276
Is this thread a joke? It reminds me of when people used to post saying the weekend was a visionary.
>>61002648
>clammy clams is good but I just think jai's demos in terms of producing and songwriting put clams to shame.
>>61002659

>>61002648
>sold out lectures in universities
>went on CNN to discuss black rights
>new advocate for feminism
>ended Kevin Durant's career
>thugged out pissed off ready to change the world by killing all these hoes
been a good year for Lil B
>>61002679
thats nothing new, he's been doing that shit for awhile. it's just the media is giving it coverage
god's father was his last real effort
>>61002500
unlike hype williams Jai Paul is making heartfelt shit, rather than poking fun at music in general.
has anyone got a link for jai? I cant find a good one
after the 400th time listening to the album the lyrics feel kind of stale.
>>61002276
goto bed kitty pryde. and stop spamming your bullshit here.
>>61003500
Got your back, sorry this took so long my internet is shit

>Himanshu
he takes himself too seriously. he genuinely believes hes the second coming. Jai is better because he doesn't give a fuck.
BTSTU is a perfect contemporary electronic pop song

>important
How is this album important?
it's a decent album but the fact that you called it important just proves to me that you're just throwing around buzzwords
