I Listened to Last Year Was Weird vol. 3 by Tkay Maidza

 

At long last, Last Year Was Weird vol. 3 is finally here. This was another one of my most anticipated music releases of 2021, and Tkay Maidza’s third foray into the Last Year Was Weird mixtape series didn’t disappoint.

Besides the singles (Syrup, Cashmere, and Kim featuring Yung Baby Tate), some of top favorites from the mixtape were also Eden, So Cold, High Beams, and Breathe. The only two features (with Yung Baby Tate and UMI) here, were great, and their sections of the songs (Kim and Onto Me respectively) flowed well with Tkay Maidza’s voice.

When I look at the three releases all together, Last Year Was Weird vol. 3 was another strong release with the same high quality as the first two installments. The sound composition and Maidza’s overall delivery of the lyrics on the eight tracks, speaks to a clear artistic vision that blended a host of genres to create some truly memorable tracks.

Footnote: The Guardian actually has a great write up about Last Year Was Weird (HERE), which explained how the idea came about. I highly recommend giving that a read.

Breana: Lately, there has been a lot of really good new music. And last week, Tkay Maidza released another song. It's called Cashmere, and it's really good. 

 

Adri: Lately, I've been into Copyright's music. In the coming weeks, I'll probably be talking more about them. But for today, my pick is Wizeman and Wizeman (Reprise) by Copyright featuring Imaani. 

Andrea: This week I'm listening to This Day by Usher featuring Kiana Ledé and Yeah! by Usher featuring Lil Jon & Ludacris. Have an amazing week everyone!
