Hi! Hey! Over here!
hope everyone is doing ok! remind urself that you are so strong and cool and if you met ur celeb crush in a super nonchalant way you probs would be married so keep holing out hope!! and keep having fun (safely)
SO:
Good news, bad news, some more good news, and maybe a little bit more just mediocre news?
ALRIGHT
good news: YAY you made it through another week so high five!
bad news: no playlist this week. I’m sorry ok I just had a lot of other things that were more pressing and I didn’t want to overpromise and underdeliver on a playlist so forgive me!
good news is: the reason I was so busy is because ya girl (me) got an internship!! YES if you arent on LinkedIn w/ me then you haven’t heard, but recently I started as a Beauty/Fashion Blogger for a personal styling company in LA (remote obvi). It’s pretty cool & if you want to read my first piece it’s linked right here. My next one will be out Monday :D
mediocre news: I will start making these newsletter emails bi-monthly, so every other week I will do my best to update you on all things that swirl around my music world. If I’m really feeling it, I might keep up the weekly thing but with school starting soon I gotta brace myself. So I’m just warning you if this isn’t brightening your inbox every single week don’t be worried !! (or maybe you won’t? whatever ok??)
But!!! I digress!! Let’s talk about what you’re actually here for…
NEW MUSIC
AMINE - LIMBO - ah yes what I have been waiting for. I usually have to listen to an album 3 times before I decide if I like it, and my god I decided after the second song… oops! not sorry bc I LOVE AMINE. Start at the beginning and work your way through, that’s how much I enjoyed it. It’s really hard for me to pick a fav right now but maybe it’s Can’t Decide ?? IDK OK!? even Pressure in my Palms (i like Vince Staples feature in it a LOT) just go listen to it and tell me ur fav.
CARDI B/ MEGAN THEE STALLION - WAP - Okayy alright!! If I could dedicate the words “dirty freaky nasty” to a single song, this is it. Definitely make sure you’re surrounded by the appropriate company when listening to this….,.and I’m sorry if this offends you but..,, I loved this and I needed it.
DOJA CAT - Freak - You might think this song is new; however, if you’ve been w Doja longer than Say So, you might have blasted this Paul Anka remix for over a year (dare I say almost 2??) on Soundcloud. thank god it’s finally on Spotify, and If you’ve never heard it before you are in for a TREAT!!
REMI WOLF - Monte Carlo - goddammit I love this woman. She is never disappointing! EVER! All her music is so quirky and relevant? Like I feel as if we are homies with the same struggles #relatable. The song has all the usual tricks she keeps up her sleeves + her insane vocals. Just love her energy ok?
JAWNY - Sabotage - formerly known as Johnny Utah, his new music matches the vibes of his old music aka perfect. It’s pop, kinda rockish, and mainly alt-indie. If you think Oliver tree is too harsh but you want something like that, this song is it for you.
OMAR APOLLO - Stayback - this single reminds me of if Prince wanted to rebrand and be indie, in the best way possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if I had heard this on “80s on 8” or something. cool vibe, really slow and mellow but also just nice to listen to. This is definitely a teaser for Omar’s next album <3 yay
ANDERSON.PAAK - Lockdown - Anderson.Paak. released this single with multiple variations to it remix, acapella, etc. which means you can listen to it 5 times in a row and love every minute of it. Its a song for the BLM movement and it’s good.
KALI UCHIS/ RICO NASTY - Aquí Yo Mando - I like the beat of this song, probs would add it to my “GRWM lite mode” playlist right after WAP lol. nothing too special but it’s fun and new! so see if you like it
NEW ARTIST ALERT:
Jelani is bottom right & María is top left (: both literally so ✨✨🧚♀️
Jelani Aryeh: if you like Matt Champion, Roy Blair, Yeek you will like Jelani’s alt sounds. I found him through the song Stella Brown and i think it might be on a previous playlist?? if you haven’t heard it though its good, just like the rest of his music. he has 2 albums and a few singles ((: go check him out.
María Isabel: if I could use one word to describe María Isabel it’s heavenly. Her songs are as beautiful as her..,. sad thing is, she only has 2 songs. sigh, but her IG bio confirms that her EP will be out soon😳✨💗 Definitely keep your eyes on her for new ethereal sounds. Listen if you like soft vocals like Jorja Smith, Sinead Harnett, and UMI.
As always,, give me suggestions! themes! genres!! I have some ideas for the coming weeks but I would always love to switch it up and do something y’all want (:
love y’all ..,., mean it 😈
xoxo,
Fallon
