I Listened To: December Music Roundup

Well, it’s been a minute since I wrote about the music that’s kept me entertained. But, it’s a new year, and I thought it would be a good idea to do a roundup of what I was listening to in December.

Of course, there are the usual holiday favorites, as well as some new additions to my playlist—which were my Music Monday picks during the month.

Besides the holiday stuff, I collected a few more individual tracks as well. One of the songs that made it onto my playlist was Girlfriend by Hemlocke Springs. It’s quirky. But, it has a really good sound, and it’s also incredibly catchy. Another newish artist I want to see more from is Adanna Duru. I’m a fan of what I’ve heard so far, particularly with the song that introduced me to Duru’s music, POP. Then, there was the song—Heads Will Roll—from the Gotham Knights trailer. I haven’t played the game and have no plans to. I just kept getting the trailer as an ad, and when I was searching around for the song, I stumbled onto the original. It’s by a band called Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I really can’t pick between the original and the cover, because both are great in their respective ways. Then, of course, there was Doechii’s live performance (for Billboard and Honda), which is one of my favorite versions of Stressed. The set design is topnotch, and Doechii nailed that performance.

In December, I mainly revisited a lot of music, since the year was winding down and I was due for my annual break from the blog. And, as a consequence, there was only one new album I listened to: SOS by SZA. I wasn't expecting it in 2022, but, as soon as it was announced (which was relatively close to its release date), I was more than excited. SOS is a long album, but I love every second of it! SZA does R&B so well, with unique sounds, creative lyrics, and her signature vocals. And it makes the wait time between each album, single, or feature worth it. Some of my favorites from it were Seek & Destroy, Kill Bill, Good Days, and Too Late. I can’t recommend it enough!

Breana: I mentioned last week that I had a bunch of music that I wanted to talk about for Music Monday. Well, here is another song: Ghost In The Machine featuring Phoebe Bridges. It's from SZA new album, which released early in December. At the time, I was only doing holiday music, so I delayed writing about this one. Ghost In The Machine is one of my favorites from SOS.


Andrea: Hi all! This week I'm listening to Heartbreak Anniversary by Giveon. I really like his sound. Have a great week!

Music Monday (145): SZA, Stephen Rhodes, Marlon Craft, John Fogerty

Rules:

Breana: SZA recently released a new song called Good Days. It's one of my favorites, and I've already added it to my playlist. 


Adri: A very long time ago, we got a tiny meditation book that had a CD in it. Also a long time ago, that CD disappeared. The pocket that held it has a track list, and, for whatever reason, I never thought about looking it up until recently. I like all the artists, but for today my pick is Flowers of Time by Stephen Rhodes


Andrea: This week I'm listening to songs that further address the societal problems of today. The first song on my playlist is Weeping in the Promised Land by John Fogerty. I'm also listening to  State Of The Union and Family by Marlon Craft. I hope everyone has an amazing week!

Breana: I took a break last week. I really just needed it. Now I'm back, and my pick this week is Anything by SZA. Its one of my favorite songs by this artist. 


Adri: I've been focusing on drawing a lot, which means I haven't been listening to new artists at all. So here's some of the music I've been listening to from Grace Jones and Lone. Sinning and Don't Mess With The Messer by Grace Jones, and Not Seeing Is A Flower by Lone.

 


 

Andrea: This week, I'm listening to A Brand New Day by Diana Ross and Love Train by The Ojays. Have an amazing week!

Music Monday (38): Kendrick Lamar, SZA, & Jorja Smith; a.k.a. This Is About Black Panther; I Have No Regrets

Breana: I thought I had this post all planned out. I'd already decided on which songs I would talk about, but then, the Black Panther movie soundtrack happened and I was done for. Oh well. I have no regrets. But, can we just talk about how awesome All the Stars by Kendrick Lamar and SZA is? Not only that, but the music video is visually stunning...



There are so many good songs from the album. It's hard to choose just two to talk about. My second pick is I Am by Jorja Smith. It's lit.



I have to admit, this is one of my favorite movie soundtracks, and I highly recommend listening to the whole album. It's worth it...
