Aminé

Aminé came up out of Portland, Oregon, a city better known for indie rock than hip-hop, and broke through in 2016 with "Caroline," a single he made while still in college that climbed the charts on the strength of its sheer good humour. His take on hip-hop leans melodic and playful, folding R&B and soul into bright, off-kilter beats, and on Limbo he showed a more reflective side without losing the warmth that made people like him in the first place.

Good for You (2017). His debut album is the natural entry point. It has "Caroline" alongside the sunny bounce of "Spice Girl" and the quieter, more personal "Turf," so you get the full range of what he does on one record.
