New albums by Lizzo and the rising artist Imani Imani are both "event" records — but one arrives with arguably too much backstory, the other with almost none.
Isnt it possible that these narrative pop albums are actually *resisting* the coldness of algorithmic streaming? Maybe the human connection theyre trying to recreate isnt a weakness, but a necessary antidote to our increasingly detached relationship with music? What do you think?
