I posted (http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/664672.html) the Nicki Minaj and Crazy Cousinz tracks which are leading my singles of the year. Re: long players - Fever Ray, the Timberlee/Tifa/Natalie Storm mixtape, Anthony Hamilton and Scarface held over from Dec. Other notables:
Jim Jones ft. Ryan Leslie - Precious [that bluesy guitar line running through it is so addictive]
Electrik Red - We Fuck You [attn whorepop fans! This is The-Dream's new R&B girl group; 'Drink In My Cup' and 'Freaky Freaky' are great too]
Busta Rhymes ft. Young Jeezy & Jadakiss - Conglomerate
Jay Rock ft. Lil' Wayne - All My Life [good-times hip-hop which I mentally file alongside Estelle's '1980']
Ciara - Rattla ["I know you ride the beat when you recline that seat..."]
