Korean rapper Tablo’s epic two-part solo album Fever’s End includes brooding, brainy tracks like “Home” among more upbeat R&B influenced numbers. His English-language kiss-off to the fame game, “Dear TV” is a spare, envelope-pushing standout, but the whole album consists of that kind of reflective, solid material. There’s a post-hip hop/singer-songwriter vibe throughout, but it’s the sprinkling of K-pop dust that gives this debut just the right amount of kick. Listen to the wistful single “Tomorrow” by way of introduction.
