FASHAWN AND AWN AND AWN AND AWN

A few months ago, my friend Jenny played Fashawn's "When She Called" for me, knowing I would appreciate the novelty of Joanna Newsom getting sampled. I loved the track but, knowing my habit of being blinded (deafened?) by my love of JoNew, kind of convinced myself that I was giving it too much credit because of the sample. I figured it was a fluke and assumed the rest of the album would be boring. I finally caved and picked up the album and well, you know all that "what happens when you assume" business. Turns out, I made an ass out of me, because the rest of the album is even better than the track that initially sucked me in. I'm seriously floored by this guy.
