Friday standouts:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Somebody Else-Robert Glasper Experiment featuring Emeli Sande (This type of keyboard intro always gets my attention. Lyrically, nearly everyone should be able to relate to this; who hasn't wanted to escape the pain of rejection by becoming someone else now and then?)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Perfect Timing-Lisa Addeo (Easy-on-the-ears, uptempo, piano-anchored smooth jazz with appealing horn punctuation.)
- Trouble Gonna Bring Me Down-The Milk (This is from 2015, but the vocals, horn arrangement, and wah-wah pedal give it an early '70s feel.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Floating Parade-Michael Kiwanuka (The strings lend poignancy to Kiwanuka's vocals, giving the tune an appealing early '70s R&B ambience.)
- It Runs-Kate Schroeder (Endearing vocals and acoustic guitar from this St. Louis artist.)
KWUR 90.3 FM
- Lady Blue-Wild Nothing (Vocally and instrumentally, this 2016 track sounds lifted from an '80s new wave college station's playlist.)
