Hopelessness, her sixth album, embraces this definition of art more literally than most, using palatial, club-inspired production from Hudson Mohawke and Oneohtrix Point Never as a launch pad for some of the most disarmingly direct social commentary our generation has heard from an artist.

Most happily, the movie (written by Christina Hodson) proves disarmingly witty, working "The Breakfast Club" into its shtick, referencing the Cold War not long before the Berlin Wall comes tumbling down and indulging in teen hijinks -- like toilet-papering a house -- that Bumblebee embraces with a little too much gusto.

Her most recent release, last year's debut mixtape Real Ting, is a disarmingly assured body of work, and sees her code switching between different modes: dancehall-referencing patois becomes hard-as-nails, straight London bars, which then segue into honey-sweet, American-accented sung vocals, often on the same track.

Prose that until now has felt tolerably colloquial — a friend emailing you about his crazy year in Moscow ("the distances were unbelievable") — goes fully slack ("It was great"), and what has felt disarmingly garrulous turns, once again, picayune: With great pride, Andrei relates a multi-page chronicle of unclogging a drain.

Mr. Currier has built his early movements around snippets of Mendelssohn's symphony, including both "A Mighty Fortress" (disarmingly pinged out on celesta) and the "Dresden Amen," then shifted the focus from 16th- and 19th-century spiritual concerns to present-day environmental ones, ending with a choral text by Sarah Manguso.

The script, which Green co-wrote with Howard, is punctuated by thoughtful snippets of Ayanna's poetry, as well as impassioned discussions of everything from the politics of black art to the compartmentalization of women's lives — blunt, disarmingly candid digressions that have the organic feel of conversations caught on the fly.
