Breana: I'm currently enjoying music by The Neighbourhood. I haven't listened to them as much in the past year or so, but over the weekend I got into their music again. One of my favorite songs is Lost in Translation.
Adri: I'm mainly sticking to my same playlist, which is nothing new. Recently, I have rediscovered some songs I haven't listened to for a bit. My picks for today are Walking on Air by Kerli and Quietus by Epica.
Andrea: Hi all, this week I'm listening to Party Train by The Gap Band and A Love Supreme by John Coltrane. There are three parts to Coltrane's song, but I have only posted part one. Have an amazing week!
Recently, I finally sat down to listen to Shadow Works by Kerli in full. It came out last year on February 22nd and I was super stoked for it. However, I never got around to it. Looking back now, I wasn’t in the mood. But, I was still listening to Savages and Where the Dark Things Are. Slowly, but surely I started branching out into other songs. First was Mimicry, then Giving Up the Ghost, and then before I knew it, the entire album. I felt like I re-discovered something I was missing out on.
There are darker tones and hard hitting sounds in Shadow Works. Yet there are also the softer, more emotional ones –like Better, Giving up the Ghost, and One. I want to focus on One for a second, because it was the track that really pulled me into the album. After listening closer, and I mean really listening, I felt like I understood the album a little more than before.
The Opening of the Way (Intro), Purification (Interlude), and Shadow Works (Outro) are all vocalized tracks that are simply ethereal (well the entire album is). I often find myself putting them on repeat. At the end of the day I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Shadow Works.
Thanks for reading.

Breana: Another artist I recently added to my playlist is Cleo Sol. One is now one of my favorite songs.
Adri: Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Kerli. I have a lot of songs that I like from her album Shadow Works, but I decided to narrow it down to two. My first pick is Mimicry.
And my second pick is Giving Up the Ghost, which I find, for the lack of better words, hauntingly beautiful.
Andrea: Last week when I was watching The Talk, Chicago performed. This reminded me of how much I used to and still do love their music. Will You Still Love Me is one of my all time favorite songs by this group. You can watch the music video below. I can't wait to discover what you're listening to. And as always, have a wonderful week!

Adri:
After Disney’s 2010 Alice in Wonderland came out—Kerli sang Tea Party for the movie—Breana and I continued to follow her. You don’t know how long I’ve waited to feature Kerli on Music Monday!
For my first pick, I choose Feral Hearts. Not only is it the first Kerli song I’ve listened to in a while, but I really loved the music video. Even thought I found the visuals enchanting, after watching the behind the scenes I admired the video even more. I really like the meaning and inspiration behind each area and outfit. In addition, I loved seeing how each look came together.
(p.s. also check out the Sacred Forest Session of Feral Hearts HERE)
One of Kerli's newer songs includes Spirit Animal. I can’t really explain it, but I’m really in love with it. I can only hope that there’ll be a music video for it!
Breana:
My first pick this week is Final Song by MØ. The first time I heard of MØ was when I was watching the Coachella livestream back in 2015, and happened to catch her performance. Before then, I’d never actually heard of her, but her live performance really impressed me. Since then, I’ve followed her music.
One of the reasons why I love Final Song is the catchy beat. It’s a nice song, and the music video is kind of simple but also awesome. I especially like the scenery in the background.
My second pick is The Sound by The 1975. I haven’t listened to a lot of music by The 1975—not yet anyway, but I plan to fix that soon. The Sound is the song that introduced me to their music. I happened to hear the song while listening to one of my favorite google music channels, and instantly loved the sound of it.
Have you ever discovered a group while watching a TV show, movie, or a Coachella livestream?
