Alex Gonzalez Since its July release, “Wasteland,” Brent Faiyaz’s dark, introspective R&B album, has been one of this year’s more polarizing releases. Some have criticized the disc’s length and skits, while others have praised its honesty and cohesive narrative. In 2017, Faiyaz’s debut album, “Sonder Son,” announced a major new voice in R&B, and “Wasteland” seals that initial hype. As an independent artist, Faiyaz is one of the genre’s buzziest artists, with his album reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart despite its independent release via Lost Kids, Venice Music and Stem Disintermedia. He’s also tipped to pull in several Grammy nominations this year. You recorded “Wasteland” during COVID and during a time of political unrest. Since then, how would you say you have spent time healing?

But the now-41-year-old star — who will headline two hometown shows at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday and Friday — has one very special Grammy that she didn’t technically win: She picked it up when John Mayer shared his Song of the Year trophy with her after his “Daughters” beat out her “If I Ain’t Got You” in 2005.“When he was onstage, [he said that] he just felt like I deserved that for ‘If I Ain’t Got You,’ ” Keys — who has also hosted the Grammys twice in her career — told The Post.
Alex Gonzalez On his second album, “Wasteland” — which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, on the strength of 107 million on-demand streams, or 81,000 units in stream equivalent albums — Brent Faiyaz leans into his own dichotomy.
