The 70 Best Albums of 2018
From forward-looking electronic and experimental to new approaches in the ever-evolving R&B scene, from hip-hop and punk to rock and pop, 2018 bestowed an embarrassment of musical riches upon us.
The 60 Best Songs of 2018
The year in song reflected the state of the world around us. Here are the 60 songs that spoke to us this year.
Young Fathers Do It Their Way on Best Album Yet, ‘Cocoa Sugar’
Cocoa Sugar is an album that retains an enigmatic quality. Provocative when it needs to be, it steers well clear of addressing current world issues explicitly. This album will resonate for years to come.
Young Fathers Create a Powerful Ballad and Dance Track with “In My View” (Singles Going Steady)
With "In My View", trio Young Fathers performs a masterful balancing act, turning a powerful ballad into a lightly banging dance track and back again.
Young Fathers: TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 (Reissue)
The reissue of Young Fathers' TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 shows the Scottish group's early promise.
Massive Attack / Young Fathers – “Voodoo in My Blood”
"Voodoo in My Blood" is a trip-hop New Orleans funeral parade with the casket open, brimming with incantatory rhymes and death-hymn melodies.
Massive Attack: Ritual Spirit
Massive Attack primes the trip-hop pump with a compelling, bite-sized EP.
Young Fathers – “Old Rock N Roll” (Singles Going Steady)
Syncopated loops and grimey production provides the perfect backdrop to add a new voice to the ongoing, and much needed, dialogue on race relations.
Young Fathers: Dead
Dead is a deeply weird album. It's probably the strangest hip-hop album made since Death Grip's Government Plates.
