Her Favorite Colo(u)r (Colored LP)

“Blu’s 'Her Favorite Colo(u)r' hits harder than it did on its initial 2009 leaked-to-streaming run or its official, somewhat-remastered first physical release two years later. We’re more used to noise in hip-hop, more accustomed to pendulum-swinging inner conflicts between invincibility and unease, even more forgiving of those times when artists put out a potentially alienating experiment or two for every crowd-pleaser. It’s an untraditional album that blurs the lines between pop culture references as familiar touchstones and the specificity of a film or a record that speaks to an artist’s own impossible-to-duplicate experience, a run-on sensory-overload experience that could feel mysteriously impressionistic and painfully specific all at once.” Tracklist: A1 Love A2 Amnesia A3 Since A4 Morning A5 Melo A6 Wind(terludeOne) A7 When(terludeTwo)   B1 Silent B2 Pardon       B3 Vanity       B4 Beggars’/BlackGold B5 Celln’Ls B6 Untitled(LovedU)2 B7 Peace
