Phew! Not gonna lie - September was a tough month for me, personally. Hence this playlist is a few days late. With Halloween on the horizon, though, I hated to go without some seasonal tunes. So here we are! We've got some peppy R&B, some Indie Rock, and of course a few Halloween favorites thrown in to salute the holiday season! Enjoy! To listen on Spotify, click HERE.
1. Tux /Your Body Fills Me, Boo/ (U.S. Girls) - If Pebbles were still putting out music, this would be it! Looks like she's traded in her Mercedes for a tux!
2. It Girl (Sedric Perry) - More pop-leaning R&B from this German-American singer to keep the party going!
3. Forevermore (Roosevelt) - The latest from personal fave Roosevelt!
4. Black Magic /Cahill Remix/ (Little Mix) - Our first Halloween song is this hands-in-the-air dance ditty from English girl group.
5. Beat Drop (Jarv Dee & Bad Colours) - Electro-funk from Seattle artist.
6. Lovely Day/Good As Hell (Pomplamoose) - This is a brilliant mashup of Bill Withers and Lizzo, from a husband/wife duo!
7. It's Not Just Me, It's Everybody (Weyes Blood) - I recently caught Weyes Blood in concert and lemme tell ya - Natalie Mering's voice is just as amazing in person as it is in the studio!
8. Sometime After This (Brian Dunne) - Expansive folk-rock from NYC singer/songwriter.
9. Damage Gets Done (Hozier & Brandi Carlile) - Two greats come together with (unsurprisingly) great results!
10. Out of My League (LANY) - This is a tad more Indie Rock sounding than their typical dream pop, but I'm here for it! Can't wait to give the rest of the album a listen.
11. Lose You (Bully & Soccer Mommy) - Female-led alt rock to keep the vibes going.
12. Scream & Scream Again (Mumps) - Maybe it's because Return of the Living Dead is one of my favorite horror movies, but punk rock and Halloween just seem to go together! Case in point - this tune.
13. Crystal Closet Queen (Pixies) - If I had to choose a band to cover Leon Russell's barnstormer "Crystal Closet Queen", I don't think I could've come up with anyone better than the Pixies. Turn up the volume!
14. 3D Feelings (Alfie Templeman) - This is from last year, but I heard it on the "Heartstopper" soundtrack and couldn't get enough!
15. I'm Making Believe (Orville Peck & King Princess) - Quirky Indie singers cover a Benny Goodman classic from 1944!
16. To Be Yours (Odesza feat. Claud) - Clearly, I'm still on a Claud kick. What a treat to see them team up with Odesza!
17. Ex-Files (the Bamboos) - This gives me flashes of Blondie, Sister Sledge, and Earth Wind & Fire! Truly a Boogie Wonderland.
18. Meant for Me (Angélique Kidjo feat. Shungudzo) - Another artist I was lucky enough to catch in person! Angélique put on a powerful and joyful show last week so I had to have her close out this month's playlist. Catch her if she comes to your town.
So that's October's playlist! Guess I'm off to find a Halloween costume. Hope everyone has a great month and I'll see you in November.
