FAMS COALITION

The seventh installment in his Madlib Medicine Show, a jazz album with his Yesterdays New Quintet called High Jazz. Madlib�s been busy this year. And while his recorded output always spans the gamut, he often returns to recurrent themes, spread across the genres that serve as home base � or bases, as it were. Jazz is one such base.�With High Jazz, Madlib begins anew � offering familiar jazz sounds from a series of �new� groups from his ever-augmenting cosmos. Call it �Yesterdays Galaxy.� High Jazz, the name itself a tribute to the landmark jazz-fusion album released by Stanton Davis�s Ghetto Mysticism in 1976, shows a marked development in Madlib�s craft. Every element of jazz is there. Is that tune modal-funk? Was that song psych-fusion? Was that a bossa-tinged run or another kind of latin-affair? Where did that sitar come from? Madlib�s Yesterdays-excursions are never easy to categorize and that�s the point � while experiencing chops like these, the desire to rigidly define takes a back seat to aural pleasure.

RENAISSANCE�is the highly anticipated new album from global icon Beyonc�. Packed with rousing anthems that resonate with everybody,�RENAISSANCE�is a culmination of freedom and escape that encourages unimaginable jubilation, agency, and movement with abandon. The singular intent of�RENAISSANCE,�a reinvention of four on the floor,�is to showcase music that stirs you from the soul and encourages your dancing feet.� It is a celebration of a club era when anyone who felt like an outsider sought each other and formed a community of freedom-seekers to express themselves creatively through the rhythm, which we still celebrate today.�
