I need a new obsession - please help

[annandale]

Post bereavement I'm having sequential music obsessions. I need to move out of the current one but struggling to find stuff. I tend to like stuff with a lot going on in the lyrics. In order so far they've been:
Turin Brakes
Solange Knowles
Beastie Boys - I need to get out of this now.

Help me!!

Saul Williams?

I can't think of anyone with more to say within their lyrics than Saul.

[TERFragetteCity]

Do you know Ryan Adams 'Gold' or 'Heartbreaker'?

[SueGeneris]

The Roots?

I also rate Saul Williams.

"I tend to like stuff with a lot going on in the lyrics."

Nick Cave
Leonard Cohen
Roger Waters (solo or Pink Floyd)

My current obsession is Brandi Carlile. The Joke is a fab song- was on Obama's list of fave songs of 2017. Most of her songs are really meaningful and her voice is amazing.

Elbow have interesting lyrics, and beautiful melodies/ arrangements. And an enormous back catalogue. But not massively similar to your other choices!

Tom Waits is a lyrical genius but not to everone's taste.

Beardyman is kind of addictive and lyrically good + also oftne very funny. 'Distractions' is his most accesible.

How about

Put Radio six music on and see what tickets your fancy on there?

Dunno where the rogue how about came from ...

Interesting, I am doing a bit of Lauryn Hill and Tribe called quest this weekend. Saul Williams may be too strong for me but I'm going to keep trying.

Lauryn Hill is great.
