India.Arie - Video

 

Whenever I hear India.Arie's music, I'm reminded of the Bernie Mac Show, since the oldest daughter was canonically big fan. Great show, great song.

Mary J. Blige - All That I Can Say 

 

I really enjoyed the vibe of this track. Something nice to just have on in the background. It's nothing that I need to have on streaming/revisit but it's nice.

The Weeknd - Less Than Zero 

 

I liked this! I think sometimes with the current crop of main male artists (Bruno, The Weeknd, Harry) they feel too faithful to the decades they're drawing inspiration from to the point where I don't feel a distinct life to the song. I slightly feel that way here, but it didn't temper my enjoyment of the track.

No Doubt - It's My Life

 

This is definitely a song I'm familiar with. Love the verses, but have never been fully on board with the chorus. It sounds quite good today though.

P!nk - Funhouse

 

Funhouse is probably the first time I paid attention to an entire album by an artist, and this was the first song off the record that I heard, since the music video would always play on VH1.

 

While this still gets some nostalgia points from me; it's probably my 9th favorite song on this album.

Never heard of this act before. This was a nice introduction.

Cardi B - Up 

 

Was a strong performer on the Rotunda Hot 100 back in the day, she needs to get her groove back cause this was a serve.

Mya - Free

 

I haven't really done a deep dive of Mya's discog, but from what I have heard from her, this comes the closest to the strength of Case of the Ex

Doechii - SLIDE

 

I still need to listen to this project. This track felt nice and polished. Added to my library.

ABBA - Super Trouper

 

 

This isn't necessarily my favorite ABBA song but it's solid.

I don't remember liking this as much on the first listen, but yeah this is strong.

Bridgit Mendler - Ready or Not 

 

This is fun, and I get the novelty of it, but listening to her sing in this tone makes me feel like I have candy stuck to the roof of my mouth

Jhené Aiko - P***y Fairy (OTW)


One of those songs that I have saved to my phone but I always forget that I like it until it comes on shuffle.

Kelly Clarkson - Love So Soft

 

Deserved to chart higher. Was really cool to see her try something different here.

Mary J. Blige - All That I Can Say

wait why does this sounds so much like Lauryn Hill! Loved this one! Such a pretty smooth vibe-ish song so magical like the perfect song to listen when you wake up in the morning on a beautiful sunny sunday
