Eighteen tracks lengthy and hellbent on swerving lanes, Sudan Archives’ second album correct is a kind of data that invitations you to get comfy in its dizzying headspace. Drawing from a big selection of sources – hip-hop, R&B, west African traditions, membership beats, up-to-date digitals, analogue handclaps, looped strings – all of it hangs collectively as a portrait of an artist eager to emphasize her vary and primacy. Or, as Sudan Archives places it on OMG Britt, a straight-up entice monitor: “They gonna have a match after they hear this shit!”
Born in Cincinnati (that’s the 513 space code of the closing monitor) however relocated to LA, Brittney Parks is a post-genre operative whose skillset appears to develop with every launch. Pure Brown Promenade Queen brings her nearer to the mainstream, due to takes on R&B that vary from the canonical – Ciara, Freakalizer – to the extra stressed: Residence Maker, or ChevyS10, a booty name the place Parks deploys an angelic falsetto, a quote from Tracy Chapman’s Quick Automotive and an on-trend disco denouement. Parks’s earworms don’t harm both. As woozy and stressed as these multipart productions are, she packs in loads of sticky stuff: melodies, hooks, insistent figures. On the wonderful title monitor, she chafes in opposition to colourism up in opposition to a Center Japanese string loop that doesn’t stop.
