England’s Pip Millett first picked up the guitar at age 14 and has been on an inspired journey ever since. I played Smoking from her 2022 album, When Everything’s Better, I’ll Let You Know, which was a MUCH anticipated release after she put out a string of EPs in the years prior: 2021’s Motion Sick, Lost in June from 2020, and Do Well from 2019. When Everything’s Better is a conceptual ride, with connected recounts of her experiences in the previous years, split up by interludes and exploring all areas of the R&B landscape. Could We Be More Early in the show I played Home by Kokoroko from their 2022 album Could We Be More. The album is an extremely chill and tranquil vibe created by the eight-person collective and led by trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey who beautifully pierces the band’s calm delivery. Motion Sickness Motion Sickness from Shabazz Palaces’ sophomore studio album Lese Majesty is a sonic gem thanks largely to the producer of the duo, Tendai Maraire. Vocals in the group are provided by Ishmael Butler, formerly known as Butterfly from the Hip-Hop group Digable Planets, who combined extremely conscious lyrics with a heavy dose of jazz drip. Candy Man Speaking of the Jazz flavour, I played Candy Man by Quincy Jones from the soundtrack to the 1971 film Dollar$. Jones composed the entire score for the film and brought along a few of his friends - Roberta Flack on When You’re Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You), and Little Richard on the track Do it - To it, to name a few. Thanks for listening and you will hear me again next week, peace. Purple Room Radio (IG) | [email protected] The Purple Room - Playlist for April 27, 2024Kokoroko
