1991 single by Twa Toots, a uk twee pop duo in the mid 80s to late 90s afaik. They have a really lovely Peel Session too and an earlier 1986 album: Their stuff is very archetypal British twee pop and has the jangly indie twee sound of the time (C86, Sarah Records, etc.), and strong '60s girl group vibes. Their other tracks have more late 80s/early 90s idiosyncracy for good measure.

Check out their first album if you haven't heard it (Emmerdale), it's super pretty

Yeah i sort of avoided the grime that was popular in the mid 2010s just because it was everywhere, I got into the older grime stuff I think partly cause i got turned on to 90s rap and rnb, so of grime i''ve heard mostly just the classics like ruff sqwad, wiley, kano, d double e, dizzee, etc., Love ukg and dance pop from around that early to mid 2000s time period too, cant go wrong there.

If I could only listen to one artist forever it might be Sade just cause they don't really have any bad tracks, they're so smooth, and the bass grooves are always sick. Also don't think they get enough credit either for changing their sound over the first 3 albums, i love diamond life and promise but her 90s/00s albums have aged better bc of that for sure

people will refer to landlords as a 'social group' rather than advocate for anything non-milquetoast its par for the course

this bait sucks try harder

 

one of my favourite albums and contender for one of the most beautiful ever recorded, imo. Some further info on the cover, including a picture of them recreating the image for its 40th anniversary

listened to a bunch of Sade, Janet Jackson, and Vince Staples over the last couple days. I like UKG and some older grime too, Ruff Sqwad are one of my favs (former group of tinchy strider, did the instrumental that was used by stormzy for shut up much later)
