The Famous Firm
Ever since he made Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights” sound like some ‘60s British rock throwback, fans and critics alike have clamored for more from this Canadian crooner. On his 14-track mixtape featuring fellow hipster stalwarts KiD CuDi, Wale, Mickey Factz and boss-mentor, Dallas Austin, Munroe offers more hip-hop-tinged pop ballads. Whether he’s redoing a stunning rendition of U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday” or rocking on the piano (“Piano Lessons”), Munroe proves he’s worth his weight in hype and potential. –gavin philip godfrey
