| Oh, you know...just killin' time and trying to stay away from the pollen! |
Okay, I need to start checking the dates of some of these songs I'm finding. I try to stick with stuff that's come out in the last 12 months, but as I was putting some of this list together I noticed I had songs from 2022, 2024, etc. My bad. Maybe the pollen is affecting my judgement. Anyway, I did get April's list done a skootch early, so hope you enjoy. To listen on Spotify, click HERE.
1. Shy Girl (Haute & Freddy) - One of my favorite new bands kicks us off with more of their 80s-inspired synthpop!
2. mangetout /The Dare Remix/ (Wet Leg) - I never would've put these two together, but this remix is fire!!!
3. Dance No More (Harry Styles) - I know "Aperture" is his hot new single, but personally I gravitated towards this funky number on his new album.
4. Gentleman Blue (Elysia Biro) - Google says she is a "forest nymph masquerading as a singer-songwriter"! All I know is that I'm loving the jazzy Steely Dan vibes!
5. Bedroom Posters (Yellowcard with Good Charlotte) - Florida band gets an assist from early 00s rockers.
6. Love You All the Same (Dominic Wright) - Catchy pop from Indie singer/songwriter
7. Spin (OTNES) - Spotify suggested this to me and I immediately saved it before realizing it was from 2022. Anyway, it's dreamy pop from a Midwestern US artist.
8. Other Side (Brent Faiyaz) - I thought this was The Weeknd when I first heard it! Mid-tempo R&B to get your toes tappin'!
9. Western Wind (Carly Rae Jepsen) - Another oldie of sorts (also from 2022!). At first I thought Carly was moving into her "Taylor Swift" phase, but now...who knows? We need some new music from Carly! I guess the new baby is taking up a lot of her time these days.
10. Passenger Seat (Wolf Alice) - Feel good folk-rock from English band.
11. Country Sour (Witch Post) - I love hearing these two sing together!
12. Hell Without the Flames (Josiah & the Bonnevilles) - It kinda feels like we're all in Hell without the flames these days, but I promised myself I wouldn't get into politics for this playlist!
13. Adam (Lotte Gallagher) - One of those songs you want to crank while driving down the highway!
14. Blame It on the Moon (Cory Wong with Magic City Hippies) - We last had Cory on our February 2024 playlist but this funky new song is a welcome return!
15. Dancing on the Wall (MUNA) - I've been hearing this a lot on the radio, and never get tired of it! The latest from this Indie pop trio.
16. To Love Somebody (Holly Humberstone) - Gloriously resilient, sunny pop from English singer/songwriter.
17. 100 Summers (Rainbow Kitten Surprise) - NC band was on our December 2025 playlist. This is from the same album - great Southern alt rock.
18. Alabama (Caroline Kingsbury) - US pop artist whose visual aesthetic meshes well with Chappell Roan and Haute & Freddy! This sounds like a Sam Fender song with female vocals - and I mean that as a compliment!
19. Crimes of Passion (St. Lucia) - Brooklyn band and frequent Brantworld listees close us out with some anthemic dance-pop!
So that's April! Hope everyone has stocked up on allergy medication, and has a great Spring! See you in May.
