Late again! Maybe I should go to quarterly playlists instead of monthly. This one is so late I'm just calling it February/March. Life has gotten so hectic and stressful - we've had two back-to-back winter storms, costs are going up, income is going down. By the time I get home I just want to curl up in a ball on the couch. I did finally pull some songs together - I'm just working at a decreased capacity these days. It's a little bit of everything. To listen on Spotify, click HERE.
1. Don't Include Me {American Dream} (Michael Marcagi) - Cinncinati singer/songwriter kicks us off with some melancholy folk/rock.
2. Water Underground (Real Estate) - We last had them on our May 2020 playlist, and now this Indie band is back with more glorious retro stylings! This is evoking memories of Simon & Garfunkel, the Byrds, and other 1960s bands.
3. Florida Man (Gatlin) - Female singer/songwriter has been dropping songs for a few years now, but this is from her first proper album. Can't wait to hear more from her!
4. Lucky Again (Lykke Li) - The latest from Swedish pop star!
5. Dance the Pain Away (Haute & Freddy) - This duo has written for everyone from Katy Perry to Britney Spears. Now they've struck out on their own with some deliciously eccentric 80's-styled dance pop.
6. things u h8 abt me (Squid the Kid) - Enigmatic young hip hop artist returns with some funky pop to keep you on the dance floor.
7. Devotion (SG Lewis & TEED) - Another selection from this English artist/producer's latest album. In case you were wondering (I was!) - TEED stands for Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs!
8. Delulu (KiiKii) - I love me some K-pop! This girl group made their debut last year and totally delivered the happy K-pop sound I've come to enjoy.
9. Liftin' Me Up (Jill Scott) - The queen is back!!! Rejoice!
10. Post Sex Clarity (Lola Young) - Well-deserved Grammy winner is back with more of her signature confessional pop!
11. I've Got a Broken Heart (the Lemon Twigs) - Another group I enjoyed in 2020 returns with this catchy tune!
12. Chimera (the Alarm) - I knew this group mostly from the song "68 Guns", and was pleasantly surprised to see they had a new song out. Unfortunately lead singer Mike Peters died soon after the song was recorded - so the future of the band seems uncertain at best. It's still a great finale for a great band.
13. Talk to Me Baby (the Bluetonics) - European (I'm guessing Swedish?) trio serves up some bluesy Americana!
14. I Don't Want to Go Home (Kita Alexander) - Australian singer/songwriter has a knack for catchy melodies and singalong choruses.
15. Dirty Work (King Princess) - Unexpected Steely Dan cover by Brooklyn artist.
16. Heavy Foot (Mon Rovîa) - Liberian artist known for blending "Afro-Apppalachian folk with Americana".
17. Lonely Night (Trousdale) - We had them on last March's playlist, and now this Country-Pop band is back with more beautiful harmonies.
18. I Kinda Like That (Laundry Day) - I'm getting Weezer vibes from this NYC band, and not mad about it!
19. Cute Aggression (Perrie) - Another endearing selection from former Little Mix singer's solo album.
20. I'm Not Going Anywhere (Morgana) - Haunting vocals over driving electronic beats from Irish singer/songwriter. I can totally hear a Kate Bush influence.
21. Starlight (Sumner) - Australian duo closes us out with some upbeat pop!
So that's our February/March playlist! Hopefully I'll be back on schedule by April. See you then!
