Hope you guys are all staying well! Here are some of my recent favorite new(ish) releases with a bit of description.
Intro (i m sorry) – Mounika.
This new single is such a pretty instrumental, lofi-chill beat. I love the sampling and how it comes together for such a simple and relaxing melody. Just give it a listen, and you’ll know exactly what I mean.
Black Qualls (ft. Steve Lacy, Steve Arrington, Childish Gambino) – Thundercat
I reviewed the Thundercat album in depth, and if you haven’t read the blog yet I totally recommend checking it out. This album is a really amazing continuation of Thundercat’s discography and especially like this song for all the musicians featured on it and how soulful and deep it is; it makes me just want to dance.
12.38 – Childish Gambino
Overall, I was not super impressed by the new album this track derives from. Unlike a lot of Glover’s previous albums, this one felt rushed and had less depth and emotion than I prefer. However, I do really enjoy this track and have been playing it all week. I like how Childish Gambino plays around with different styles all within the same song and how it is so experimental and out there compared with some of his past music.
Tokyo Drift Freestyle – Rich Brian
I wanted to include this one because I think Rich Brian has one of the best voices in rap right now. I have really liked his 88rising projects as well as this song and its music video, which he made while quarantined in his house. I really like the creativity paired with such a popular beat.
Snoopy – zack villere
This song is super out-there and weird, which is a definite plus in my eyes. I love zack villere’s vocals and especially enjoyed this recent album, this song it ends on in particular.
As always, you can check out all of my Friday Favorites from this week and past weeks on my Spotify playlist.
