Daily music recommendation #328
Mr. Morale is such a fascinating album, which is why I've recommended so many songs off it. Just an excuse to talk more about the record. Definitely Kendrick's most personal, conflicted work, but it's also his least immediate. Not all the songs bang, which is why I don't return to it as much, but the ones that do stand out a lot.
So many interesting changes. So striking. So evocative. So other adjectives. I must also point out the irony of the song being called "United in Grief" while the hook goes "I grieve different."
A perfect introduction to a deeply conflicted record.
