Now this just made me extremely happy.

One of my favorite R&B albums of the past few years was Nicole Bus‘s 2019 stateside debut album, Kairos. Quoting myself from out 2019 Favorite R&B Albums list:

The majority of the album was so entrenched in the 90s that there should have been a bundle package for it containing a Baby Phat jumpsuit (and not those new, boof Forever 21 versions) and tickets to a Shemar Moore-hosted episode of Soul Train.

However, she’s remained extremely low-key ever since, to the point where I would always wonder what she’s been up to. Well, randomly, I decided to just search her out online and what do I see? Nicole has been quietly releasing new music every Friday on her SoundCloud page!

Like Kairos, some of the drops keeps that vintage “hip hop soul” sound that Mary J Blige and so many other artists perfected in the 90s. “If I Only Knew” samples Nas’ “One Love,” while “Young” reimagines Slick Rick’s Hey Young World,” and tracks like “Story Of My Life” and “Bow Ties & Boques” have that boom-bap sound that I love.

Peep every drop from her so far, below.
