| People say there's no love in my relationship with Mildred. That's simply not true! I love her car, I love the candy she bought me, and I love listening to this month's playlist on her home stereo! |
Another month, another playlist! It's a little of everything as always. To listen on Spotify, click HERE.
1. Blood on the Tracks (Marcus King) - Grammy-nominated blues rocker kicks things off nicely. It's not the Bob Dylan song I was expecting, but still love it.
2. The Thrill Is Gone (RAYE) - Another song title that could be considered a bait-n-switch if I didn't like it so much! Not BB King, still rocks.
3. Strawberry Letter 23 (Neal Francis) - Okay, this one is DEFINITELY the Shuggie Otis tune. And I can't think of anyone in today's market better suited to cover it than Neal Francis!
4. New Day (Sunny War) - West Coast folk/punk rocker seems to be leaning more "folk" on this easygoing ditty.
5. I'm a Mess (Avril Lavigne with Yungblud) - I would never have thought to have put these two together, but they make beautiful pop together!
6. Hold the Girl (Rina Sawayama) - We recently had her on our March 2022 playlist singing with Charli XCX, and she's back solo this month but keeping the dance vibes going!
7. Leave Me Behind (Raquel Rodriguez with DUX) - Mid-tempo soul from up and coming Mexican-American artist.
8. Love Song from the Attic (Gunhild Carling with Billy Stritch) - If you've been following these playlists for a while, you know I love me some Gunhild. I figured this was a nice Valentines Day ballad.
9. Helplessly Hoping (Crosby, Stills and Nash) - Le sigh. We lost David Crosby last month so I had to include one of my fave CS&N tunes. RIP
10. Hysteria (Indigo Sparke) - Tyler recommended her to me, and I'm so glad he did! Produced by Aaron Dessner of the National!
11. So Far So Good (Great Good Fine OK) - One of those dance-pop songs that always make me happy!
12. Candyfloss (Alfie Templeman) - Another frequent Brantworld listee who never fails to make me smile!
13. Insomnia (the moss) - I'll admit it was the title of the song that grabbed my attention (is there ANYONE out there who isn't having trouble sleeping these days?), but it was the Indie Rock that inspired repeat listens! If I have to lose sleep, at least I've got good music!
14. Rock My Kiss (Miles Gaston Villanueva) - Okay, if you're not watching "The Boys" who even are you??? I know this song is a parody of the early 2000's boy bands, but it's so spot on it's addictive!
15. Melody /from Me to You/ (Pixey) - Upbeat, slightly retro pop from English singer/songwriter/producer.
16. Pomeranian Spinster (Alvvays) - Frenetic alt rock that's almost as hyper as a real pomeranian!
17. Git Along (Butcher Brown) - Jazzy rap from from Richmond, VA band.
18. Holding Pattern (Harvey Sutherland) - This is giving me definite Steely Dan vibes! Sutherland, aka Mike Katz, is an Australian artist and this is off his debut album.
19. Frames (Julietta with Raphael Futura) - Mellow electronica from NY-based Indie artist.
20. Join Me In a Dream (Rachael & Vilray) - I figured why not have one more romantic, old school ditty to close us out? R&V have definitely been listening to classic June Christy records and learned from them well!
So that's February! Hope everyone has a great month and I'll see you in March!
