Description
The sly little bass slide before the second chorus of Crowned & Kissed tells you how much care went into these songs. Esperanza Spalding’s Radio Music Society turns her bandleader smarts toward luminous, radio-friendly writing without sanding off the jazz. This 2LP gives the arrangements breathing room; the low end sits deeper and the imaging snaps into place. Radio Song opens warm and conversational, then blossoms into crisp horns and a pocket that feels made for a late Saturday tidy. Black Gold leans into gospel uplift with a hook that sticks, and the rhythm section is as buoyant as her vocal.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Esperanza Spalding records online with us. It’s an easy shelf-mate for Robert Glasper Experiment, sitting in that modern jazz-soul lane where chops serve the tune. In a Melbourne living room, this pressing rolls out like a small band in the corner, detailed but inviting. Heard it only on streaming? You’ll notice the strings and brass breathing around her bass, and the songs land with more confidence. A thoughtful, accessible entry point to her world, and a keeper for repeat spins.
Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
