All the Playlists

How Much I Feel – Ambrosia

16 May 2018

Southern California soft rock band Ambrosia had five singles that were hits, which were enough to emblazon them in the tapestry of 70s pop culture fabric forever. One of their best is “How Much I Feel,” which was a single released from their Life Beyond L.A. album in the summer of ’78 and this sultry tune definitely made it hotter.

This Is America – Childish Gambino

16 May 2018

Have you heard this? Well if not it’s worth the the listen. It starts off with these melodic voices then comes the strings. The instrumental has such an abstract and airy feel yet, the message is as heavy as concrete. But it definitely deserves a 🥃 on the playlist. Toast  to Gambino because this is America…

Dagger to the Heart – Anna Arco / Migdal Strings

16 May 2018

You never know what it is about a song that’s going to get you – could be the melody, a lyric, the overall instrumentation and production – but for a song to catch your attention – there needs to be a hook – this one gets you like a dagger to the heart!

Do Better – Lil Donald

16 May 2018

LIL Donald is an Atlanta rapper that I came buy from a business associate of mine. What really struck me about him as I learned more was his drive for uplifting women and how positive he seems to want to keep his career.

Listen!!! – Talib Kweli

16 May 2018

‘Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion’s roar’! 

Yup! these are the type of thought provoking lyrics Talib spits on this track! while it is an easygoing track with an awesome production (the production is so good..love the instrumentals!) to vibe to

World in Your Mouth – The Infinite Three

16 May 2018

This weeks pick to question existence comes from the London based, three piece “The Infinite Three” and with a name like that, they’re a match made in space for the playlist.

The Essay 3 – Nils Ödlund

15 May 2018

So I’m super stoked about this week – we’re trying something a little different – instead of just one track – we’re presenting an entire writing mix – a playlist within a playlist – 1 hour of music lovingly stitched together to create the perfect sonic environment for all you out there who need to get the words down!

Nobody’s Ting – NDAI

15 May 2018

This song has so much soul there isn’t a chance that I wouldn’t add this to the playlist. The bass line alone grabs you and locks you into it’s smooth melody. NDAI’s voice is smooth and pure, and its vibe fit so well into the groove of the song I couldn’t help but listen to this 3 times in a row. This is a great song to put on and just kick back for a few minutes and get lost…

Next of Kin – Lucy Dacus

15 May 2018

This week’s track is dedicated to those who are prone to overthinking things, sweating the small stuff, staying up at night with weighty thoughts, and worrying they’ll never accomplish everything they want to. As someone who’s been there many times, these feelings can overwhelm and lead to inaction or indecision.

A Noite É Nossa – Rincon Sapiência

15 May 2018

“Swag” is a thing we lack words to define, but it’s definitely something the artists & songs featured here have in common – after all, we wouldn’t mention the guy who invented swag in the name of the playlist for no reason, right?

Let’s Lie Here For A While – Lynz Crichton

15 May 2018

 There is no cure for love other than marriage.

– Irish proverb

A long time ago in London, as I was walking down King’s Road, I was approached by this lady who said that if I gave her a few minutes of my time, she could open my eyes in the matters of love. She was gorgeous. And no, she was not a streetwalker. Rather, she claimed to be part of a research group and asked me to follow her to this courtyard to fill out a questionnaire. The idea was that she would then create a love profile for me…

Carpet Crawlers – Genesis

15 May 2018

Genesis instala a través de Rael (en el misticismo hebreo los nombres terminados en “el” eran considerados divinos, de ahí que los nombres Arcangélicos tuviesen esta terminación) un viaje iniciático…
