hiiiii can we get a list of top 5-10 songs u've listened 2 in the new yr ? ^_^ Wld loooove annotations. i wanna hear Ur thoughtsss🔊🔊🔊🔊🎤🎙📻
yes bby!!!!! since thee new years has started iv been a little everywhere with what iv been listening to but here’s some stuff iv either recently discovered or have been continuing to love <333
[IBRAHIM HESNAWI — TENDME] — this is an interesting cross between reggae and funk, hailing outtuv libya. ibrahim was one ov thee most prominent reggae artists to come outtuv libya n seeing as how reggae is like . Such A Big Deal 2 Me, it can be hard to find things i feel compare to thee og wave outtuv kingston, however libyan reggae is coming up a hard second place. this features on one ov thee iconic “Habibi Funk” compilations released by thee label ov thee same title. they focus on arabic speaking countries, you can find their bandcamp here. [it’s friday! any purchase off bandcamp goes 100% towards thee artist]
[DIVINE — LOVE REACTION] — so i heard this on a comp called “twelves inches of pleasure” i think it was vol. ii which included some tracks produced by my man patrick cowley. i’d heard love reaction before but this particular mix is combined & beat mixed with “blue monday” by new order which is NOTHING short ov GENIUS i was so amazed by it. it’s on thee playlist i listen to thee most which is basically just gay club music. huge fan ov divine and all she does and she just sounds utterly sinister with gillian & stephen’s synths underneath her prowling voice. adore it, adore it.
[RUPAUL — SUPERMODEL (YOU BETTER WORK)] — another pick from my gay club music playlist that im always listening to but this time probably a more known track from a big name. alyssa edwards’ homage to this track’s intro in her AS S2 EP1 performance is iconic and ofc this track is, also. it’s very good for turning your brain off. i was listening to this album and rupaul’s other 90s lps interchangeably with tammy faye baker tracks. not much to say about this, just been on thee mind. here’s a cool interview between rupaul and tammy faye baker in substitute ov my lack ov anything to say !
[JOHN CALE — EVERYTIME THE DOG BARKS] — so most reviews n i think most musical historians will tell you that john cale’s 80s work is unremarkable if not downright awful. i don’t think that’s true, with thee exception ov carribean sunset [which is truly offensive to thee conscious n should not be counted], they’re fairly good at worst average all thee way up to veering on some ov his best work. this track is thee first off his record ‘artificial intelligence’ which most people regard [seemingly?] as his best ov thee 80s. now that’s flagrantly ridiculous bcoz ‘music for a new society’ came out in thee 80s but i suppose ‘artificial intelligence’ isn’t as soul crushingly depressive. i love thee guitar work on this track, john’s delivery is exciting & thee electronics keep your nerves on a particularly seedy edge. i love john cale so much.
[JOEL VANDBROOGENBROECK — NIGHT CITY] — iv mentioned this a few times so i figure i should talk about it a little bit. so joel vandroogenbroeck is a prominent name in thee library music genre, which i have mentioned a little bit here and there. library music is a work for fire type genre where musicians make music on demand for television or movie companies, so it will have sortuv ‘default’ type settings to it to thee listener’s ear cuz odds are you’ve heard Plenty ov these tracks before and just didn’t know it. since thee advent ov beat making & hip hop production, library music very much found a new home. now being transformed into samples and thee foundations for beats, it lives again !!! one such track [gerhard trede’s “B11” from “electronic fields,” 27:00] is sampled predominantly in kid cudi’s “distant fantasies.” just to provide an example :] <3 as well as i would like to say that library music is quite different from ambient music and it is quiet different from muzak as well ! as thee #1 ambient defender i would like to say that….
OK I GOTTA STOP SOMEWHERE!!! THANK YOU!!! I LOVE YOU!!! YOU FAN DM ME WHENEVER U WANT!!!
