Exploring R&B hits: ‘Undercover Lover’ by Smooth’s sultry vibes and ‘Knocking ‘da Boots’ by H-Town’s classic groove. A throwback to the golden era of R&B.
Sunflower by Post Malone, featuring Swae Lee is a beautiful song featuring on a jam packed soundtrack full of songs that you want to hear again and again. It’s from 2018, I’m sure you’ve already heard it and if not, why not? Either way, stay where you are and watch the video here.
The mood they create in their songs is an all encompassing atmosphere which surrounds you in a bubble. Deftones goes heavy, pulls in melody and Chino Moreno’s high notes, juxtaposed with the low, gives you a distinct blend of amazing. Plus, when you delve into the lyrics, well it’s a revelation: these guys understand, they get it, they know.
The Spell of Mathematics is all that and more.
Listening again to songs that you heard when you were a teen because you choose to/ bought the album yourself is special.
Killing Joke is one of those bands for me.
Picking one Killing Joke song is hard. Don’t judge me for having the gall to do so. I realise that there are other excellent choices available.
Is Chop Chop on your shortlist?
H.E.R’s lush voice, sweeps you up and engages you in a story that you want to hear. These singles are just two of this talented artist’ back catalogue.
Take a few minutes out of your day, to listen one or both songs and be wowed.
