Let’s Dive Into A Good Music Dump
It’s Saturday afternoon! I almost said morning and then realized it’s 12:09pm and I woke up 20 minutes ago. Whatever! I pulled out my laptop, started listening to good music and thankfully I’m sipping on some black iced coffee because my tastebuds and nostrils can handle that right now. See blog post “Adulting Really Means Cleaning” to see why this has been a problem for me, haha!
MOVING ON. I got some new favorite songs. When I search for new music, I search through my own curated “New Music Playlist” and the “Best New Songs” playlist thanks to Apple Music.
Some of these songs are older, but still in my “favourite” playlist and I need to make sure you guys have heard them because I still vibe hard to them. I’m going to talk about them in order from the vibes of “LET’S HIT THE CLUB,” to “DAMN, I’M IN MY FEELS.”
This song came out in 2019, but I originally heard this song over Halloween, when I had Corona, lol. In quarantine this was my JAM. I would dance around my kitchen and pretend to be in the club acting like a crazy person. Yes, did I get out of breath super fast and sleep for a few hours after? Yep. I didn’t care, corona couldn’t even hold me back.
This song is a BOP. It’s one of those songs that doesn’t really get old. Great beat, great vocals, and just all around such a feel good song. You are so welcome if you haven’t heard of this song before.
Immediately this song brings you IN. What I mean by that is when you listen to the vocals you get drawn in by how deep, dark, and mysterious it seems to be, but the beats behind it get you excited for a drop.
And a drop is what you will get with this song. OoOoh baby I can picture myself at a club with a vodka soda in hand surrounded by friends whipping my hair back and forth in slow motion. I just laughed out loud to myself after writing that. *PSA* Check on your club friends, we are not okay.
Okay, this song is produced by my friend, @jakeshoredrive. He dropped this song yesterday and not going to lie, I TOTALLY dig it. At 1:33 in the song there is this amazing beat that literally simulates running in my mind. It’s perfect.
I am not just writing this because I am friends with him. I actually dig his music and have a few of his songs in my go-to playlist on Apple Music. This song immediately grabbed my attention and did not disappoint. Great job, Jake. Go download the song everyone.
I understand DaBaby’s album came out in 2020, but this song slipped right through the cracks for me. For some reason it was on a new music playlist for me and damn, this beat rides.
This song makes me feel like I should be driving a convertible through a street filled with palm trees in Florida or Cali bopping my head. It’s a feel good beat with great verses by DaBaby and Young Thug.
Immediately this song made me feel like I should add this song to some sort of HYPE playlist based on the first five seconds. I also vibe hard to his first lyric “I don’t gotta say what’s up to you, I don’t gotta say hey.” C’mon, I FELT THAT.
Ya’ll… I can say that since it’s a random country song I’m obsessed with, right? Don’t get me wrong, I love country, but Morgan Wallen is the only artist that can bring me back to it in the damn winter.
Obviously, here is where we get in the feels a little bit more. Yes, that’s a link to my Apple Music playlist when I am in the feels. Enjoy.
Anyways, this song grabbed my attention when the vocals were going in different directions along with different beats… if that makes any sense. I don’t know, it makes sense in my head.
We love a good country music drop where the artist seems to be torn to shreds, sings beautifully, and you can FEEL the hurt in the voice. Morgan Wallen nailed it here with this one, folks.
Within the first few seconds you can feel there is some hurt that’s going to be portrayed in this song. Elle King has a beautiful voice. If you don’t know, wait till the chorus.
The chorus captured me and now this song gets played on repeat in my car while I scream it like I was just hurt so badly, when I wasn’t. Don’t you love when music does that to you? LOL. It’s like you want to be so into the song you pretend you totally agree and are in the same boat as the artist. So funny, haha.
This song was released a few weeks ago. The story behind it makes it so much better on top of her beautiful, out of no where, voice.
Long story short, Olivia was dating Joshua Bassett, who is now dating Sabrina Carpenter, so Olivia is heartbroken over it. This is the first time I ever heard of Olivia or Joshua, but I am a huge Sabrina Carpenter fan. I feel for you, Olivia.
Olivia is still #1 on the iTunes Charts even weeks later. Her voice/vibe is almost a mixture of Lorde and Taylor Swift. Who the hell wouldn't love that, am I right?
Just wait for the 2:25 minute mark in this song, cause holy shit.
“RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, I STILL SEE YOUR FACE IN THE WHITE CARS, FRONT YARDS, CAN’T DRIVE PAST THE PLACES WE USED TO GO TO CAUSE I STILL FUCKING LOVE YOU BABE.”
Tell me you don’t scream those lyrics once you get to that part. If you say you don’t, you’re a damn liar.
Here is where it gets super interesting. Sabrina Carpenter released this song yesterday in response to Olivia Rodrigo’s “Driver’s License.”
It’s a great song, and again, I am a big Sabrina fan. Sabrina is basically saying to Olivia that she’s going to tell her side to the story, since Olivia has been. The song is also shutting down Olivia saying that no matter how she feels, Joshua is hers. Also, Sabrina hopes one day they can become friends after this. Interesting, right?
Oh my god. This song brought me back to my “Younger Emo Years.” You’re welcome, it’s another playlist made by yours truly, if you have Apple Music.
I am always saying how kids these days don’t have artists like Avril Lavigne or Evanescense to dive into a deep, dark, hole with. I mean that in the best way possible.
Maggie Lindemann seems to be fitting in that genre right now and I am all for it. I hope this type of music really hits the ground running again because it is much needed. Thank you, Maggie Lindemann.
