Becky and the Birds - “Wondering”
A simple yet beautiful soulful track from Becky and the Birds. I love tunes you can really groove to, but also serve as chill background music while you’re working or studying when needed.
Pillow Weight - “Tensong (Easy As)”
Feel the Pillow Weight of the world listening to this heavy alternative track. Okay, I’m sorry. I had to.
Curse - “Warum nicht?”
After such an insane and frankly terrifying week we just got through, “why not” pretend life is okay (it’ll make sense when you read the post) with this smooth jazz hop track from Curse.
Fuze the Mc - “That Wave That Fire”
I love the chill groove on this track. It kinda lets me relax and melt away. Also, I don’t come across many 1 verse songs, but I think there was enough packed in the verse that it didn’t feel lacking. Definitely worth a quick 2 min of your time to check it out!
Angie Pastor - “Alone”
If you’re a fan of Norah Jones and Alina Baraz and wondered what their styles blended together might sound like, I think it would come out like this talented young artist, Angie Pastor.
Soulstice - “Sleepwalk”
I love tracks like this that let you take away as much or as little as you want from it and enjoy it no matter what.
“SleepWalk” gives us a nice long intro to really get entranced in the music. The hypnotic strings and steady drums lull me to tranquility before Soulstice’s smooth vocals layer in.
Midnight Bebop - “When You Are Missing…”
Destress this hump day with some dope lo-fi vibes by Midnight Bebop.
ゲスの極み乙女。- 「人生の針」 / Gesu no Kiwami Otome - “Record of Life”
I hope you all enjoyed the first round of Gesu from a few weeks ago because I’ve got another one for you already. This one is really cool because Gesu had released the album this song is from earlier this year but just released English versions of a few tracks of the album with vocalist Sincere Tanya taking Enon Kawatani’s place.
Logic - “Soul Food II”
With Logic’s supposed “retirement” (you know how these rapper do…he’ll be back eventually) as of this past Friday with the album “No Pressure”, I gotta talk about my man here real quick because there’s a lot to unpack.
Billy Drease Williams - “Shut the Gate” ft. Richie English
Billy Drease Williams drops a solid flow over a beautiful melody provided by Richie English in one of the most confusing, mixed signal pep talks for mending a broken heart I’ve ever heard.
Melanie Faye - “It’s a Moot Point”
I’m a brand new fan to Melanie Faye (and hope to make one out of you too), but in looking her up, it seems she is best known to her long-time fans for her phenomenal guitar skills (which are prominently featured in this track). However, she has apparently stunned them on “It’s a Moot Point” with her beautiful, controlled vocal talents as well!
Cautious Clay - “Cold War”
Cautious Clay is a Cleveland-born singer/songwriter. “Cold War” is his debut single--a mellow R&B/Pop track about growing apart from a long-term partner over time.
