Breana: This week I'm listening to the orchestral version of Somebody Like You by Bree Runway. I really love the way they rearranged the song.
Adri: I've been listening to Quiet Nights by Andy Caldwell featuring Gina Rene.
Andrea: I love my boots and this New Boot Goofin song by Ryan Charles. Until next time, I hope everyone has a lovely week!
There has been a trend in music lately where some familiar sounds from the eighties, nineties, and early two thousands are being revisited. Yet not just revisited, but also given a fresh spin. You can find it with Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa, and Laura Mvula’s latest singles to name a few. One mixtape that I’ve been listening to that also follows that trend is Bree Runway’s 2020 album: 2000AND4EVA. As the name of it suggests, this mixtape is peak early two thousands energy, and I love it.
Bree Runway has a track record of always delivering catchy hits like What Do I Tell My Friends, Big Racks featuring Brook Candy, 2ON, and All Night. 2000AND4EVA follows in those footsteps. With nine songs, the mixtape takes a twenty-one minute drive through music from the last decade. Yet it doesn’t feel stale. Bree Runway’s vocals are great here, and I enjoyed the full track list. The theme of the mixtape came through strongest in songs like Damn Daniel featuring Yung Baby Tate, both versions of LITLLE NOKIA, Rolls Royce, and ATM featuring Missy Elliott.
My overall impression of 2000AND4EVA is a positive one. It’s a strong collection of music from Bree Runway, and if you’ve liked music from this artist before then you won’t be disappointed with this one.

Adri: Today I'm listening to music by Grace Jones. My first pick is the first song I ever heard by Grace Jones, Slave to the Rhythm. My second pick is I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango).

Breana: My pick this week is one of my favorite songs by Bree Runway: All Night.
Andrea: I haven't had the chance to post for the past few weeks, so I hope this post finds everyone safe and well. My song choice for this week is Wake Up Everybody (2004) by Brandy, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliot, Wyclef Jean, Ashanti & Various Other Artists. Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes originally released this song in 1975. Although the original song was released over 4 decades ago, it is so relevant to today. I look forward to finding out what everyone is listening to this week.
