I’m Dying Of Thirst – Robert Glasper – a requiem for black people  who died because of the color of their skin, named by children, behind a quiet piano, based on the Kendrick track off his debit album . Sounds OK but it doesn’t work at all, maybe you need to do a little more than that it 2015 – C

Too Late – Active Child – Now when you say active… pretty but slow as molasses – B-

La Disco – Giorgio Moroder – Sounds a bit like Kraftwerk in the vocals and otherwise just straight 4 on the floor – B

Arms Of A Woman – Amos Lee – He is at ease in the arms of a woman – D
