Jean Grae - Love Thirst (produced by 9th Wonder)

It doesn't draw attention to itself right away, but the groove on "Love Thirst" is pretty relentless. It's once you get about midway through the track (that cooing vocal on the chorus--which is just beautifully understated) that you realize how compulsively listenable it is. (Who needs hooks when you can achieve beauty like this without them?)

Clearly, this is supposed to be a sex jam, but really, it's great in any setting. I'm really looking forward to Jeanius finally seeing a proper release, and you should be too, I think.
