India-born artist Jitwam is a graceful handler of what they call vibe: music that doesn’t transact on a word-to-word or note-to-note level so much as move through you like a breeze through trees. Inspired by the soul, funk, and dance music of London and New York (cities whose diasporic richness make them viable reflections of the world in general), Third has the shape and flow of a great mixtape, each track exposing a new facet of the same sunny, slightly spaced-out mood. He’s disco (“Brooklyn Ballers”), he’s salsa-funk (“The Get Down”), he’s Afro-Brazil (“Confidence”). He’s feeling good and down for whatever.
