I talk to myself. Sometimes it helps me stay awake on long drives, sometimes I need to hear myself say my week’s schedule aloud for memory’s sake and sometimes I need to curse my television set after I lose at Hex-A-Gone in Fall Guys (am I right fellas?). I like to think I keep my chatter within the normal bell curve of talking to oneself. For example, I have never created and voiced an imaginary friend, who materializes as a furry, yellow, cigarette-smoking, pig-snouted aardvark and proceeded to converse with it. That would be pretty weird. But when legendary producer Madlib creates and voices an imaginary friend who materializes as a furry, yellow, cigarette-smoking, pig-snouted aardvark and proceeds to converse with it for an hour on his 2000 record “The Unseen,” it’s pretty sick.

Swedish musician Benjamin Reichwald, whose moniker Bladee is pronounced more like a Wesley Snipes movie than a child’s nickname for a knife, has emerged from his experimental cocoon. Surfacing onto the scene as an autotune-soaked collaborator of Yung Lean, Bladee and long time friends Ecco2k, Thaiboy Digital and producer Whitearmor form the cloud rap supergroup Drain Gang. Although now Bladee would be a team captain for the 2023 Soundcloud all star game, his beginnings were humble. As in his music sounded like shit. For the uninitiated, Bladee’s work, particularly his older music, sounds like something you’d put on as a joke. But when the joke isn’t funny anymore and you keep playing it, you are left with the sad reality that you are a Bladee enjoyer.

The return of live music after the past two years has been emotional, to say the least. Things may not be how they were before, with the mask protocols and COVID-19 vaccine or test requirements, but slowly, thankfully, the live music industry has been bouncing back.

Throughout the canon of modern music history, there are certain legendary years that stand out among the rest. I am not talking about the years that functionally changed music, such as 1964 which both debuted the Moog synthesizer and had Bob Dylan go electric. Nor am I talking about the years that symbolically changed music, like in 1959 on “the day the music died” as Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. "The Big Bopper'' Richardson's plane crashed in an Iowan field. What I am discussing is something much sweeter and much less tragic: the years where music flourished. These are the years where good music – really good music – was like wine in that place where wine flows like water. These are the 1969s, the 1991s and the 2003s where for one reason or another, every major artist just happened to decide all within the same year to release groundbreaking work. These are years that future music enthusiasts look back at longingly, chin notched in palms, and say, “I wish I were there for that.” During these moments, music history was made every other Friday. And I, humble Collegian columnist and “wish I were there for that” music-enthusiast, declare that 2021 was such a year.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.” Released in 1971, “What’s Going On” is Marvin Gaye’s 11th studio album and marks a reinvention for Gaye, from the Motown sound that initially made him popular to the soul and introspective lyrics that he is now so well known for. With seamless transitions described as a “song cycle,” “What’s Going On” is characterized by its psychedelic soul, smooth jazz and funky arrangements that would later give rise to the subgenre's quiet storm and neo-soul.
