I wanted to start this little series to go though the music I've discovered this month, as well as my favourite oldies that I'm still loving. Here are my picks from the last month!
Everyone's talking up Cardi B at the moment and for good reason. Her single Bodak Yellow is super catchy and her whole style is reminiscent of Nicki Minaj.
DRAM is a new fav of mine recently. His style is very Chance the Rapper and Cash Machine is a great, poppy R&B tune.
I have been listening to 'Two Weeks' non-stop lately. FKA Twigs' voice is so beautiful. Her music is described as ethereal electronic R&B on Spotify and that is the perfect description for it. Other favourites of hers are 'Ache', 'Kicks' and 'Video Girl'.
I've loved all the singles Frank Ocean has been releasing lately, especially 'Chanel'. The lyrics are fantastic and so is the beat.
Iv'e been listening to rap duo Run The Jewels a lot recently in preparation to see them later in the year and this song always gets me pumped up. It's fast paced with a great bass in the background.
SZA is a new discovery for me this month. I've been really into chill R&B music lately and her music is perfect for that. 'Doves In The Wind' is a particular favourite of mine because of Kendrick Lamar's feature. But 'Drew Barrymore' and 'Go Gina' are other great ones off the album 'Ctrl'.
Let me know what you guys have been listening to below!
thanks! your stuff is great too!
Also, it'd be great if you could provide links to the music! Would definitely help readers along.
YASSSS!! You are like my long lost sister in music! I am loving Cardi B ( as is everyone right not but…) I love Kendrick Lamar, Future is always my go to, and some old Kevin Gates, and last but not least Chance the Rapper….. I have these songs on my workout playlist and they get me through the tough cardio LOL!
I am gonna check out Run the Jewels solely based off that album artwork! I'm throwing in my recommendation for Banks! She just released a new single called "Underdog" and the beat is so fire. I think you might like it!
I'm currently listening to Card'B's Bodak, Fanck Ocean's Chanel && SZA Doves In The Wind. Love em!
