The-Dream Band

radio killaaaaa

been listening to the trilogy a bit lately, come hang out

for the uninitiated, teirus "the-dream" nash is the writer of "single ladies" "umbrella" "xo" and many more, he is also the architect of striking prince worship and some of the best r&b of the last decade

also rediscovered what feels like a lost gem, this electrik red record he produced in 09:

 

I revisited the trilogy recently too, and tbh I enjoy it even more now than when I first listened to it a few years ago. My top 5 The-Dream songs would probably look something like "Black", "Fruition", "Sweat It Out", "Playin' In Her Hair" and "Turnt Out". It's tough though, his discography is really solid (IV Play is clearly his weakest album yet though).

I heard he's meant to be releasing a new album called Love Affair sometime soon.

 

I've always liked The Dream. His records are great, but his hook game was what really put him on my radar, LL's "Baby" was big in my circle.

 

This man is such a great songwriter. I need to revisit his trilogy again... I hope we get another album from him soon though too.

 

just realized ive never heard love vs money, but im a huge fan of love hate and love king

 

iv play is probably his weakest, yeah.

i think love vs money is my favorite.

 

EP is out tomorrow/tonight everywhere

1. Lemon Lean
2. College Daze
3. Rih-Flex
4. Madness
5. Ferris Wheel

 

preview doesnt sound promising

 

Listen To The-Dream’s Five-Song Love You To Death EP

 

this man was a King Midas for a while altho now he seems to have lost his way a little

anyway, Love vs Money is absolutely perfect and one of my favorite albums ever - the songwriting is economic and pretty much perfect, production is on a whole other level and the HOOKS are immense

put it down is a fucking anthem

Radio Killa indeed

I mean... this man wrote R's Umbrella and B's Single Ladies

collaborates with Ye

he is a god

1977 is also a dark understated masterpiece

so yeah

the Dream

 

Yamaha would make Prince proud too

 

All I Need is a super underrated track from his last EP

 

New EP isn't bad, but definitely isn't his best effort. A lot of good production but the songs aren't sticking quite

 

Needa return to the trilogy soon

 

Any thoughts on Sextape? Favourite tracks?

 

Still haven't heard it lolz

 

I listened through one time and it's pretty enjoyable throughout. At some point I'm going to go back through it and try to make a Best Of, because it's obviously way too long

 

had no idea this was even a thing. liking it so far more than anything he's put out since iamsam
