Jish’s May Album Rotation

Welcome to Jish’s Monthly Album Rotation. Four albums I’ve been listening to the previous month and my reviews of them. Some new, some old, some good, some bad. A mix of genres with some albums coming with tons of hype, and some that not as many people have heard of. Here is May 2021.

Traveller (2015) – Chris Stapleton

Chris Stapleton touches a range of country subgenres on Traveller to deliver a debut studio album that gives a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Traveller lives up to its name as it travels throughout the South’s many genres of music. From old-school country, to contemporary country rock, to outlaw country.

Daddy’s Home (2021) – St. Vincent

St. Vincent teams up with super producer Jack Antonoff to create a ‘70s infused record that despite diverting from the sounds of her past records, comes out as a sonically pleasing and effective homage to the era of its inspiration. St. Vincent trades the booming electropop synth anthems and subtle piano ballads of Masseduction for swirling sitars and psychedelic orchestral arrangements.

The Off-Season (2021) – J. Cole

On The Off-Season, J. Cole puts an end to the “triple platinum with no features” streak in a hit and miss fashion. The Off-Season features the most collaborators in J. Cole’s discography, including a variety of producers in addition to the guest verses and vocals, and this makes for a record that reaches audiences beyond your typical J. Cole stans.
