Hide and Seek – Imogen Heap
Sometimes music is just magical in bringing up emotions, this song is one of those. It brings me many memories of 2012 when a friend introduced me to it, I just couldn’t stop listening to it, the beauty of its melodies mesmerized me, the pureness of its emotion and strong expressive quality was so intense and felt so connected to me that I could only feel grateful about finding such a treasure…
Sunday – Easy Life
Easy Life is a talented UK rock band and it was very refreshing to be introduced to their music. They are bold enough to experiment with different genres like r&b and hip-hop, while still making tunes that are enjoyable to hear. “Sunday” is one of the tracks on their Spaceships Mixtape project that shows off their versatility and talent very well…
Next Up Forever – AJR
“I kinda wish I was still a virgin / ‘Time to finally see what sex is like!’” Yes, that’s quite an eye-popping line from alternative-pop brother trio AJR. The song at hand, “Next Up Forever,” from the collective’s 2019 album, Neotheater, isn’t about sex in the least. ..
Mama I Made It – Jim Jones ft. Cam’ron
Jim Jones put out a new song named after 4.20 with Wiz Khalifa and Currensy to celebrate the marijuana holiday but he’s again today with another one…
My World – OSHUN feat. Jorja Smith
I have been following these two girls on Instagram for quite some time but I have just dabbled into their music to find out that I absolutely love them. They are the new age Floetry. Jorja is also a new singer that I have grown attached too. Hearing their beautiful melodic voices over this beat gave me chills…
Communication (feat. DRAM) – Arin Ray
I recently came across this song while listening to the artist Xavier Omar and it has been on repeat ever since. I found this song intriguing, to the slow melody in the background to DRAMs deep voice ringing over that melody. The beat is one thing but I love but the lyrics…
Damn – Nat Lefkoff
The light air of spring is finally as warm as my morning tea, so naturally this feels like a good time to ponder the existence of self. Perhaps I can interest you in some spring cleaning of the mind, body and soul. For whatever it’s worth, I think we are all destined to explore and question the boundaries of existentialism. The kind of stuff that makes you feel lost in what is unknown and overly consumed by what is…
Lone Bulb – Crooked Cat Adams
I have a confession to make. Kate Chopin is one of my favorite authors. I remember the first time I read her most critically-acclaimed novel The Awakening. I’m not a feminist and obviously, not a woman but I nevertheless found the novel touching. For those of you haven’t read it, it’s a story about rebelling against the expectations that society places on us…
The Game ft. AZ, Styles P, Mic Cheks – Eric Sermon
The Green-Eyed Bandit has been teasing this project for what has seemed like forever, but fans can finally breathe easy now that Erick Sermon Has dropped off Vernia…
Benjamin – Munya
La canción de ésta semana se trata de una cantante de Montreal, Canadá, quien me dejó inspirado por su voz, es sin duda una de mis artistas preferidas del momento, cada vez que doy “play” a través de mi playlist personal, antes de dormir,…
Xanny – Billie Eilish
“I don’t need a Xanny to feel better.” Ah, for the second time on the Music to Atone playlist, following “x ANA x” (Badflower), Xanax plays a key role in a song. In the case of the Badflower record, frontman Josh Katz needs Xanax for regulation purposes (“I need x, ANA, x / Help me bury my thoughts”). For alternative-pop teen artist Billie Eilish, she has a different perspective,…
Alice Is In Love With The Mad Hatter – Luna Keller
Okay. Let’s get down this Rabbit Hole…
Luna Keller is a singer/songwriter based in Tenerife. She’s quite possibly something of a child prodigy; writing her first song, a single chord symphony called ‘I can play E minor’ two days after ‘borrowing’ her dad’s guitar and just one day after learning her first chord – which my friend Sherlock strongly suspects just happened to be E minor…
