All the Playlists

Check Clear – Nate Nittii

23 September 2019

Its always great when that check clears and you got hella bills to pay…

Keep Me Hangin’ On – The Darkness

23 September 2019

I was convinced that a glam rock band a) should be American b) had to make music in the 1980s. Then I found The Darkness. As you already figured it out, they are not Americans (Suffolk at its best) and in connection with time periods, they were founded in 2000 by brothers Justin and Dan Hawkins…

Hairy Bumpercress – Mr. Scruff

20 September 2019

This week it’s about the beats – again!

Soul, funk, hip hop jazz – combine those together and your’e going to get something like Mr. Scruff’s Hairy Bumpercress groove. I love these kind of tracks – it’s been on repeat for the last 30 minutes and my head just can’t stop moving – fortunately neither can my fingers…

Loverboy – The Marías

19 September 2019

The wistful, the wiser and the wilder side speaks louder than the rest and here arises the raspy roar of María – a lioness awakening all things ethereal and otherworldly…

Sextasy – Swae Lee

18 September 2019

This week the playlist is transported into a trance of modern r&b from the melody king Swae Lee. Sextasy is the latest release from the popular artist and he does an amazing job of using his vocals to bring the track to life, as well as give it a modern r&b feel…

Though I Know – Tajdar Junaid

18 September 2019

This is an amazingly simple and sweet track which compels the listener to hear it again and again…

With You – Noname

18 September 2019

I can’t think of a better way to introduce rap into “Sooth the Soul” then with Noname. A staple in any conversation about Chicago hiphop, poetry, or art in general…

Feel The Vibe (ft. Anderson .Paak) – BJ The Chicago Kid

18 September 2019

BJ The Chicago Kid and Anderson .Paak team up to create a soulful blend of hip-hop and r&b. In Anderson .Paak’s verse, he raps about how much he appreciates the childhood and adolescent years with his family despite the financial hardships they went through…

White Privilege – Sam Fender

16 September 2019

“I wanna copy what you eat, how you look, who you fuck / Wanna be anybody but me.” The final line of the aforementioned lyric, excerpted from the first verse of “White Privilege,” hailing from British singer/songwriter Sam Fender, ultimately becomes the refrain…

Into Clouds – Luttrell

16 September 2019

It washes over me, seeping into every fibre of my being, immersing each and every atom to the point where I don’t know where I stop and it begins…

Try – Caren Tevanny

16 September 2019

“Try” is Caren Tevanny’s latest single, and is a testament that rock music will never die! This genre always had an infamous stereotype of being loud and full of angst. However, the track breaks that stereotype as it is light on the ears with a powerful inspirational message…

Real Life – Emeli Sandè

16 September 2019

Church organs (or maybe it’s just called organs) are objectively the best way to open a song. That and a Pharrell 4-count beat. This track of the week is from British songwriter/singer Emeli Sandè, “Real Life”, off her new album with the same name…
