| Q. Does this playlist make me look old? A. No, posing with your 21-year old self makes you look old. |
1. New Brighton (Nakhane feat. Anohni) - South African artist teams up with Anohni (former lead singer of Antony and the Johnsons) for this uplifting single to get us going!
2. Dylan Thomas (Better Oblivion Community Center) - I pretty much adore anything Conor Oberst touches, so it's no surprise I'm loving this new folk-rock collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers!
3. Hazy Shade of Winter (Gerard Way feat. Ray Toro) - Sorry, Weezer! This is MY favorite cover song of the New Year! My Chemical Romance guys rocking Simon and Garfunkel!
4. Juice (Lizzo) - Thank God for friends! I love Lizzo, but wasn't aware she had a new song out until my friend Anthony gave me the heads up! Delivered in her usual spunky style, this tune deserves to be played in a convertible packed with your fave peeps while cruisin' your favorite strip.
5. Feeling Free (Leisure) - New Zealand is kicking musical butt! Lorde, Kimbra, and now this funky group! Whatever they're feeding their kids down there, it's working!
6. A Trick of the Light (Villagers) - From New Zealand to another island - this time in the Northern hemisphere! Irish band serves up some chill Indie folk.
7. P.S. Be My Valentine (Gunhild Carling) - Not gonna lie - Gunhild is my new obsession. I'm digging her old school stylings, lately on this delectable Valentine's Day ballad.
8. Money Is King (Leyla McCalla) - Apparently Rhiannon Giddens isn't the only member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops to go solo! Talented cellist unearths a Growling Tiger song from the Depression Era and finds it sadly still relevant.
9. By Myself (Fidlar) - Rowdy party song with shades of the Beastie Boys!
10. Night Creature (Rat Boy feat. Aimee Interrupter) - British Indie artist delivers some psychedelic reggae!
11. Wasabi (Little Mix) - I was curious about their new album, and found myself gravitating towards this Early 00s-style jam that vaguely reminds me of Britney's "Slave for You".
12. You Got 2 Love (St. Paul Peterson) - Prince protégé, member of the Time, and lead singer of The Family is still out there getting his Minneapolis Funk on!
13. Ready to Let Go (Cage the Elephant) - Divorce left its scars on lead singer Matt Shultz, but like all great artists - he channeled that pain into his music. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
14. King of Everything (Dominic Fike) - My friend Coleman turned me on to this young artist. Kind of trippy, definitely rocks though!
15. When You're Ugly (Louis Cole with Genevieve Artadi) - LA artist makes beautiful music about being homely! Mellow tongue-in-cheek funk.
16. Sweet But Psycho (Ava Max) - #1 pop song definitely doesn't need me to call it to people's attention, but it's also really fun so I'm including it anyway!
17. we, diamonds (Dawn Richard) - Danity Kane singer is back and as strong as ever! Uplifting empowerment anthem.
18. Yah Mo B There (James Ingram) - Another great singer gone. This 1983 duet with Doobie Brother Michael McDonald earned a Grammy! RIP
So that's another month of new music! Hope everyone has a great February and I'll see ya next time!
