The music world often tries to get to me care about a myriad of things I don't like (In Rainbows, Fiona Apple's life, 2 Chainz, self-indulgent writing styles--jk i love those) and often my opinion never changes. There are instances, however, where I turn out to be completely wrong about something after hearing it the first time. In fact, it happens a lot. I hated Das Racist on first listen. I didn't like The College Dropout. I thought Gemini was forgettable....the list goes on. With this in mind, I've made an honest effort not to be too harsh on new material after a single listen (crazy concept, I know).
Today, the beneficiary of my self-awareness is Angel Haze. Despite a regrettable name and a style that may or may not have been stolen from a YMCMB member, Angel Haze has an undeniable magnetism about her. The fact that she is on True Panther made me give her another listen and this shit right here has her inching ever-closer towards a Drunken Uncle co-sign (the ultimate reward for any artist).
