| The groundhog promised an early Spring, so turn those tummies off (the commercials are all political ads anyway) and enjoy some sunshine! |
Welp, the people have spoken and Trump is impeached but not removed, and the Groundhog promises an early Spring. All I can promise is some new music. For some reason this month has a lot of Jessies/Jessys! I'm not sure how that happened but I am not complaining. They are all fantastic (hope you agree!). To listen on Spotify, click HERE.
1. 10,000 Hours (Dan + Shay feat. Justin Bieber) - The Biebs goes country! Not sure if that explains the 'stache he was wearing for his SNL appearance, but I'm digging this song!
2. Far Away (Jessie Reyez) - Another delicious ballad, this time from Canadian singer/songwriter Jessie Reyes (our first Jessie!).
3. Vocal Honey (Finley Quaye) - Scottish singer serves up some sunny 70s vibes.
4. Van Horn (Saint Motel) - We've had them on previous playlists, so this is a welcome return for Indie Pop band Saint Motel.
5. Automatic Driver (La Roux) - La Roux is also a returning favorite, with the mid-tempo electronic grooves that made me love her all those years ago.
6. I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby (Summer Walker) - I found this buried on the Birds of Prey soundtrack, and immediately loved this female-led Barry White cover!
7. Take It (Donnie and Joe Emerson feat. Eldon) - So the story with these guys is that their father encouraged them to make their own music, even building a recording studio for them in the late 1970s. Turns out, they were pretty good. Not much happened for the Emersons until 2008, when a record collector found their album at an antique store and began telling people about it. Eventually, a record label re-released their stuff, and they've even had contemporary artists cover their songs! This one's not a bad song - it sounds like an Indie Country record! It just goes to show that you never know when fame will come knocking at your door.
8. Late for the Sky (Jackson Browne) - Last night I saw Lucy Kaplansky at a show, and when she covered this beautiful tune my friend and I were instantly obsessed! I love Jackson Browne but had never paid attention to this particular song. I'm so glad to have it on my radar now.
9. Finally/Beautiful Stranger (Halsey) - Another great song about young love, this time from American singer/songwriter Halsey.
10. In the Wild (Lola Lennox) - Annie Lennox's daughter is off to a strong start with this powerful anthem. I can't wait to see what she does next!
11. A Moment /Helado Negro Remix/ (Jerry Paper) - Quirky electronic beats from American musician.
12. Everything (Sam Sparro) - Sam is back with some 90s style New Jack Swing and I am here for it!
13. Meet Me on the Roof (Green Day) - Another welcome comeback by American rock band.
14. Supply and Demand (Wilder Woods) - Former football player "Bear" Rinehart begins a new solo project, and seems to have been influenced by early 1970s soul bands like The Main Ingredient!
15. Ode to Artifice (Samia) - Self-published singer/songwriter keeps the happy vibes going.
16. Clap Your Hands (Jessy Wilson) - Brooklyn artist (and our 2nd Jessy!) delivers some soulful and muscular rock, with an assist from the Black Keys' Patrick Carney.
17. I'll Take Care of You (Gil-Scott Heron and Makaya McCraven) - Jazz drummer refurbishes/remixes one of the greats!
18. Spotlight (Jessie Ware) - Our 3rd Jessie takes us from the rock stage of Jessy Wilson to the dance floor! I'm loving the disco flavahs, complete with a Donna Summer-style slow jam intro!
19. Physical (Dua Lipa) - We had Dua Lipa on January's playlist, and this is the second single from her upcoming album "Future Nostalgia".
20. Nasty (the Jack Moves) - Jersey band closes us out with this fun and funky jam!
So that's March's playlist! Hope everyone has a safe and happy month, and I'll see you in April!
