Today we take on the difficult task of finding an album that could soundtrack a party front to back, without skipping.
First we'll talk about "In Time" by the Mavericks - a timeless sounding album that brought the Mavericks back from hiatus. Combining the sounds of country, Tex-Mex, swing, blues, and good ol' rock n'roll - the Mavericks deliver an album that will have you dancing in the moonlight the whole way through.
Then we'll talk about the infamous Azealia Banks and her mind-blowing album "Broke with Expensive Taste." This album is like a dream, constantly throwing curveballs at you and testing the limits of what is possible in a rap album. Of course we'll talk about some of the controversies involved with this extremely talented rapper and singer, but we argue why her music should be given all the flowers it deserves.
Though these albums come from completely different worlds, you'll be unable to resist the skilled musicianship flooding both of these albums. And if you put on both of these albums at a party, you'll find yourself still dancing for hours after the party ends.

S1 E3 Allison Russell's "The Returner" x Noname's "Telefone" - Spring
Spring is the prompt for today's episode, and boy did we pick some fantastic albums that will make you feel every emotion in the book. First we'll cover Allison Russell's 2023 album "The Returner." A vibrant, groovy album that will lift you out of the darkness so that you may dance in the light. We'll talk about how how sometimes the Grammy's get it right, how music can make you believe in magic, and how popular music today sometimes lacks the energy that Allison Russell brings in full force on this album.
Then, we'll cover the debut mixtape from Chicago rapper Noname: "Telefone." It brings up a discussion on the idea of "mixtapes" in general, and how this project is crafted with the skill of someone making a full blown album so early in her career. This mixtape takes you on an emotional journey of life and death while showcasing some incredible rapping on a project that Julius declares only gets better on future projects.
Together these albums give you a masterclass on fleshing out a themed collection of songs. They highlight the importance of community and demonstrate the healing power of positivity and vulnerability. if you think I'm exaggerating with any of the statements, you haven't heard these records. Fix that!
