2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the debut album of one of the most critically-acclaimed and pioneering bands to come out of the UK. Talk Talk’s The Party’s Over was a start of a journey for Mark Hollis (vocals), Simon Brenner (keyboards), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass) who constantly evolved throughout their career from synth-pop beginnings into pioneering avant-garde post-rock in the latter stages of the band, being a large influence on artists such as Radiohead, St. Vincent and many more.

I have sat with this record revolving through my mind for over a week now and I still can’t even begin to form thoughts sufficient to do justice to its immense importance to the canon of rap music and hip hop culture. To start with, Kendrick has moved the goalposts even further away, taking more risks than anyone might expect from such a huge star in the musical firmament. This is an artist - and I use that word with all the weight it merits - who has produced a run of albums within the last decade that more than matches that of bands like The Beatles, Radiohead, Steely Dan, Public Enemy or solo artists like Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen or Michael Jackson. Yet, taking ALL of the aforementioned into consideration, his achievements may soon eclipse all of theirs. Hyperbolic slander? Naturally, you, dear music listener, are perfectly entitled to feel that way.
