Page: Feed: --- ## [Introducing : Keeptweakin](https://sodwee.com/blog/2026/08/introducing-keeptweakin/) _2026-08-18 · Ben · Sodwee_ Orlando’s KeepTweakin arrives with Grove St, a seven-track blast of left-field rap, DIY energy and wonderfully unfiltered weirdness. Following 2025’s Can We Tweak, the new EP finds an artist happily ignoring the rulebook—and sounding all the more interesting for it.

With “Marianne” as its decadent calling card, the band's fifth album explores pleasure, escapism and anxiety in an increasingly fractured world. Beautiful, unsettling and very, very Fontaines.

Short in format but rich in atmosphere, these two fragments continue to expand the mysterious universe of one of French rap’s most fascinating voices.

Alabama Shakes return in glorious form, Emmit Fenn and LudWic drift into cinematic electronica, Chad Hugo and Tierra Whack embrace joyful chaos, while Kelela and Fousheé imagine the future of R&B.

Dreamy production, effortless vocals and quietly devastating songwriting make this one of those songs that sneaks into your playlist—and refuses to leave.
