Her voice makes me think of crystal—clear, luminous, fragile yet dazzling. Memories (1981) blends past hits with new gems, selling over 10M copies worldwide. #barbrastreisand

Ska’s chaos, protest & joy. In The Studio (’84) proves music can be weapon + creed. “Racist Friend” is law: no racists, no excuses, no jokes. Ghosted, roasted, erased. Rhythm as rebellion, brass as protest. #TheSpecials

Now that’s how you drop a compilation—essentials locked, chaos + beauty on wax. From “Boys Don’t Cry” to “Friday I’m in Love,” mood swings pressed to vinyl. Close to Me kills, Lovecats brings the madness. #TheCure

#AmyWinehouse proved love ain’t just sweet—it’s savage. Lioness echoes her fire, a blessing and a ghost. Missed heavy, her voice still drags us deep into emotion. Truth is, the UK may never see another woman this raw, this talented.

If you don’t know the man, you know the jams. Foster cooked up Chicago, Kenny Loggins, Peter Cetera, Chaka Khan, Whitney, Barbra, MJ, Madonna… too stacked to list. Movie themes, ballads, slick instrumentals—he wasn’t behind the hits, he was the hit. #DavidFoster

Whitney dropped Just Whitney like a middle finger to the press—raw, defiant, unbothered. Not canon, but One of Those Days still feels like a cheat code for calm. Japanese CD it is… though let’s be honest, I’ll cave if vinyl ever appears. #WhitneyHouston #JustWhitney

#NatachaAtlas finally spins on vinyl—her 2005 Best Of etched across 2×LP. A gateway for newcomers, but don’t stop here: the deeper album cuts reveal her voice at full power, one of the most unforgettable out there.

Back with Warner, Madonna cracks open the vault—Bedtime Stories (The Untold Chapter) blends demos, rare cuts, and unfinished gems. A reminder that survival isn’t just reinvention, it’s intimacy.

With all those Sade anniversaries hittin’ lately, had to pull out Sweetback’s first drop 💿🔥 released in ‘96, it’s trippy-ass neo-soul, acid jazz, downtempo shit — collabs, vibes, no corny mainstream crap, just real music flexin’ hard & timeless AF 🚀 #Sweetback

Kaleidoscope was the UFO of ’99 — Neptunes beats, Kelis’ scream, punk chaos. Slept on at first, now a cult classic. Still fresher than most R&B today, no cap.

Parliament’s Trombipulation = funk in freefall, a sample bank feeding hip‑hop’s rise. Digital Underground, Ice Cube, Too Short all raided this duct‑taped spaceship. And that cover? Trombone meltdown or alien vacuum breakdown… #Parliament #Trombipulation

Britain set the gold standard for collector’s editions — posters, postcards, bonus 12”s, picture discs, even cassettes. The golden age’s gone, Japan’s got the treasures. Spot one? Cop it. Own one? Guard it. #VinylCollectors #MichaelJackson

It’s impossible to box in #JodyWatley — forever flipping styles, forever ahead. With #AffairsoftheHeart she delivered grown R&B energy: slick grooves, house vibes, late‑night moods. Evolution with grace, groove, and confidence.

Doobies pulled a glow‑up in ’78—ditched biker grease, slid into yacht silk. McDonald crooned heartbreak like luxury goods. “What a Fool Believes” swept Grammys in 1980. Still a straight‑up vibe, minute by minute. #TheDoobieBrothers

MJ mourned with Gone Too Soon, Janet celebrated with Together Again. Two voices, same fight: AIDS still here, stigma still deep. Love outlives loss, but the struggle ain’t over. 💫 #togetheragain #janetjackson #Gonetoosoon #MichaelJackson #worldaidsday

Jean Knight’s Mr. Big Stuff—sass on wax, heartbreak on the flip.
One 7” that got flipped again and again—sampled heavy, still hittin’.

Not sure how I first found Kraak & Smaak — maybe the algo, maybe IG. Doesn’t matter. They’ve been top-tier for years, fearless with genres & remixes that elevate. Their new drop Velvet Seas 🌊 is pure vibes. Don’t be a lazy ass, spin it. #KraakAndSmaak #VelvetSeas

Back in ’87, Little Lies felt like a nursery rhyme—too neat, too sing-song. Took decades to hear the verses: hushed, aching, honest.
Lindsey’s voice elsewhere? Feverish, seductive, untrustworthy.
Tango still lingers—fractured, lush, unforgettable. #FleetwoodMac #TangoInTheNight

Deep digger vibes 💥 900+ samples stitched into one dreamy, nostalgic trip. Since I Left You (2000) still hits like a mixtape from another dimension. Fresh af then, fresh af now. Run it back. #TheAvalanches #SinceILeftYou

Got 16 mins? Play Again by #Archive 🎢 Starts chill, builds layer by layer, then blows your mind. Pink Floyd haze meets Virgin Suicides dreamscape. This track alone makes #YouAllLookTheSameToMe worth it. Thank me later.

5th album: not the blockbuster, not the comeback—just Missy letting chaos reign. A time capsule of 2000s hip hop excess, still fresh, daring, unapologetic. Vinyl heads: grab it now before it flips into collector bait. #MissyElliott #ThisIsNotATest

What is there to say about Carole Bayer Sager… iconic songwriter, Grammy winner, pure legend. 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙇𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝘼𝙩 𝙉𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 — her last solo album. Dreamy, cinematic vibes, the perfect mood for staying in. #CaroleBayerSager #SometimesLateAtNight

If you still wanna party like Monday’s erased, Stargard’s “Wear It Out” is the weapon. Forget ABBA’s fondue pot of cornball disco, Boney M’s bargain‑bin trash, or Village People’s stag‑do cosplay—Verdine White’s bass slaps, strings cut, vocals bully. #Stargard

Cold’s got me hostage, so I’m spinning Ned Doheny’s Hard Candy — Cali grooves that melt frost faster than any sleigh bell playlist. All I want for this Christmas is vinyl that drips sunshine. #HardCandy #NedDoheny
