This Black Music Month, @npr's Tiny Desk is honoring the anniveraries of landmark albums. 20 years after "Touch" dropped, Amerie performs a set including songs from her 2001 debut album, "All I Have," her latest single, "Mine," and hits from "Touch." She's accompanied by go-go legends Backyard Band, who have been performing together for the past 30 years. "When '1 Thing' closes out the set, she steps from behind the Desk to join the dance party, turning the performance into a celebration," writes Alanté Serene.

It Is What It Is de Thundercat fait vraiment partie des albums dont il est impossible de se lasser. La complexité mélodique et la richesse harmonique et rythmique, l'arrangement quasi-orchestral de ses tracks inclassables entre Jazz, Funk, R&B, combiné avec des paroles pleines d'autodérision et une narration hyper surprenante... j'ai toujours pas fini de découvrir de nouvelles subtilités après 4 ans à l'écouter en boucle par phases de plusieurs semaines. C'est une merveille. Je sais plus qui d'ici je dois remercier pour la découverte mais MERCI.
