Let go of what you think you know about the constraints of genre
Apr. 26 – May 16
limitless
Testimony — Madeline Edwards
this goes out to the women that identify with “resiliency” by force not by choice
I Can Change Him — Jensen McRae
I am so convinced this is an interpolation of “This Kiss” by Faith Hill
Nice Place to Visit — Jon Pardi
the beer is gone, the dog is gone, the truck is gone. but honky tonk is forever
Silver Deliverer — Aly & AJ
it’s lazy to compare to Fleetwood Mac so I’ll settle on Harry Styles
NORTH FACE — Låpsley
wouldn’t surprise me if Lola Young cited Låpsley as an influence. in fact, i’m demanding she does
Through My Teeth — Spacey Jane
this has a pure, youthful energy that reminds me of being 17 and the excitement of the in-between phase of life
Somewhere In The Middle — d4vd
this song is about mourning a one-sided love and that’s almost as painful as thinking that i was getting “Kiss Me” by the Cranberries from the first few notes
2 Good — Brandon
his guitar style fits into those Mac DeMarco surfy vibes where you want to feel the warm breeze on your skin
Call It A Draw — Uwade
if you make it to 2:30, you get this sick bass solo that’ll melt your face.
Heartthrob — Indigo De Souza
i heard Indigo for the first time at the Bernie & AOC stop in LA. “Heartthrob” feels joyful and defiant and possesses a vocal style like The Slits
Give In — Sea Lemon
neatly nestles into the vast shoegaze you’ll find in Now Playing. perfect for a night drive or staring at the ceiling
Circle of Trust — Arcade Fire
though it keeps a steady pace, it’s got some punchy surprises that build suspense and drama
This Is Real — feeble little horse
genre is a word in the dictionary that has no meaning
Aon — Maruja
if this song by itself doesn’t blow your mind, what happens when you learn that it was IMPROVISED??!
Sickle Walk — YHWH Nailgun
accurately described this as reminiscent of Liars in his March 25 new music roundup and I couldn’t agree more. i need more of this!
navel gazer — aya
if you’re already a fan of SOPHIE, this will be right up your alley — a long, dark alley
flash y pose — EMJAY
is this Mexico’s response to Charli XCX?
little miss sunshine — Charlotte Plank
as Florence Pugh said, “push all your feelings deep down”. or something like that.
(this video version is a semi-acoustic version of a dance track so it’s less jarring of a turn in the playlist than it is here)
Track 1 — Flume & JPEGMAFIA
i really want to believe this is how it actually went down in the studio. such a pleasure hearing people just. have. fun.
Yaar Gunehgaar — Jasmine Sandlas
i’ve recently discovered Punjabi dance and i’m entranced
Me Toco Perder — Cazzu
Argentine rapper gets traditional
Me Prometi — Ivan Cornejo
Ivan’s work brings a tenderness to Música Mexicana which is recently getting a lot more hip hop influence
Burning Blue — Mariah the Scientist
reminds of Ciara’s earlier sultry work
money — Tiana Major9
if you have a manifestation playlist or ever read “You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth” by Jen Sincero, you’ll love this song
STRANGE — Silas Short
this feels like jazz without its usual instruments. try subbing in sax or a traditionally-tuned piano in your imagination
Special thank you to ’s May 5th post which gifted me Aya, Maruja, and YHWH Nailgun
