Goodbye, February! You were so fast! There are more songs than I could devour. I hope you check the songs of artists you haven’t heard of after checking out this post.☺
Spotlight by Jessie Ware – This girl never disappoints. I love how this song mixes contemporary, classic, and electronic (the synthesizers remind me of a Gorillaz hit).
Desole by Gorillaz and Fatoumata Diawara – More chill and orchestraic, Gorillaz always finds a way to diversify their repertoire
bloodstream by Soccer Mom – I’ve always loved any release from this indie band. They always remind me of my 90s female-fronted bands.
Great Heights by Y ARA – Another release from indie pop duo Y ARA to complete their first full album. I can hardly wait!
The Main Thing by Real Estate – This song off their new album is faithful to their older albums.
Patch Adams by Lions and Acrobats – This new song by the indie/post rock band is about being the “Patch Adams” (the movie starring Robin Williams) to the sick.
The Other Side by SZA Ft. Justin Timberlake – A simple contemporary r&b and funky tune can still move mountains, right?
Dark Blue by Throwing Muses – This song starts as more psychedelic, but continues to be truly Throwing Muses.
Wicked Game by Celine Dion and Chris Isaak – Celine Dion didn’t deviate much from the original, and it’s expected because she did the song with the original artist, Chris Isaak.
After Hours by The Weeknd – I don’t see a difference between this new release and old tracks.
Bad Decisions by The Strokes – Typical indie anthem with their usual unique guitars.
Neither/Nor by Moses Sumney – He continues to be out of this world.
Digital Lover by Crush – This song reiterates why Crush is one of my Korean crushes.
Enought is all I need by Bilal – Bilal is always a mystique.
Knockabout World by Morissey –
You are the one by Jocelyn Enriquez –
Lonely Dancer by Tricky and Anika –
Matrimony II by Tennis –
SWING by Twice –
Let’s Skip to the wedding by Eyedress –
Get Me by Justin Bieber –
Dialogue Du Vent Et De La Mer by Claude Debussy –
This Means War by Skunk Anansie –
The Sprawl (Live) by Sonic Youth –
Paradise Lost (A Poem By John Milton) by The Used –
Just Wait by Nada Surf – The band is now dwelling on being laidback indie guys, but I miss their more psychedelic sound.
Comfortable by H.E.R. – love her!
Emergency by Vince Ft. Zion.T – Mainstream k-pop fans eould devour this; it’s like a k-pop idol’s song.
Naubos Na by Oh, Flamingo! -The guys exploring on shoegaze (based on their vocals) is exciting.
under the ground by Nafla Ft. Dean – very American. Haha
Ang Pinagmulan by IV of Spades – I thought that without the fancy guitars, IV of Spades would almost only be a solo project of Zild, but this song offers a twist.
Everybody’s Happy Nowadays by Ash – I’m happy that these guys are still doing music. It’s especially perfect now that there’s an emergence of contemporary artists reviving the 90s with music highly influenced by the era.
