IAMDDB: Swervvvvv.5

Currently listening: Swervvvvv.5, from last year, by IAMDDB. It’s solid from this track, “Urban Jazz” all the way through the soggy, soulful canter of “I’m Home”. You can hear Erykah, plenty of trap, M.I.A. (especially in “Asss$”), and much else pointing to Diana Debrito’s influences and background (Manchester, Portugal, Angola).

The one is might induce nostalgia for a certain variety of ‘90s downtempo: sine bass, diced modal piano loop, traipsing vocals.
