Martin exhumes the bitter soul of Marvin Gaye’s 1978 divorce album for the hip-hop producer/multi-instrumentalist’s own ugly-breakup experiment. An alt-R&B antecedent coproduced by Devi Dev, the EP adopts Quiet Storm emoting, jazz-hop flourishes, and G-funk atmospherics—plus Kendrick, Snoop, and Wiz—to chronicle the electro-soul search of betrayal’s disillusioned abyss.
