Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well despite everything going on these days! Here are some of the songs that have been inspiring for me
Nightrider (ft. Yussef Dayes & Freddie Gibbs) – Tom Misch
I love the jazziness of this song paired with verses of two artists I really like. Both Yussef Dayes and Freddie Gibbs have some of the most unique voices in hip-hop right now. I love this track and find it such a good one to drive around to.
Can’t Take My Eyes Off You – (I Love You Baby) – Ms. Lauryn Hill
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and also one of the best versions of this song there is. It’s a sweet, mushy love song but Lauryn brings a cool beat and gorgeous vocals to really set it over the top.
Hngover – AG Club
This new album from AG Club is really interesting, but this song in particular stood out to me. This song reminds me of a Chance song, but has a little more of an indie influence. I really liked it and recommend the album if you haven’t heard it yet.
Poison (ft. Take A Daytrip, Obongjayar, Santi) – Octavian
I’ve previously reviewed an Obongjayar for the blog, and I think was one of the best up-and-coming British rappers. This song reminds me of an EDM track and easily got stuck in my head. I really like it and think it’s a unique mix of British rap, electronic, and pop music.
Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games – of Montreal
This was the song that first introduced me to of Montreal and I’ve gotten back into listening to their older music lately. I highly recommend it. This song and album really reminds me of something by Talking Heads and I just love the chill vibe it gives off.
Hope you guys are having another great week while social distancing, and I’m wishing everyone good luck on their finals! Check out these songs and more on my Friday Favorites playlist on the WKNC Spotify account!
