"My favorite album of 2017 so far. It sounds like they have so many influences from a lot of the artists that I listen to. Some of the songs on here are so raw, stripped down, and emotional, and then you'll have a HUGE political song. The blend of genres is perfect. The flow and progression of the..."  [+]  Reply

"Makeba was a South African singer who had a difficult early life, but her strong and attractive singing voice got her attention. She blended African and Western music to great effect. She toured with several singing groups in the 1950s, and on gaining international attention she moved to America ..."  [+]  Reply

"The album should be credited to "Robert Plant And The Strange Sensation" - a group Plant performed with in 2005 and with which he recorded this album. It is with this ensemble that Plant has put together his most Zeppelinesque post break-up release. Released on Sanctuary Records/Es Paranza Record..."  [+]  Reply

"Hands Clean hits harder than You Oughta Know... The sucker who slept with her was older, and wanted to keep the relationship secret. Dave Coulier? Some record exec?
