I'm always looking to unearth tomorrow's favorite song, today. While these may not be the next big things on a larger scale - or even set up residence in the always-churning, 40-song universe of The Mixtape - they are still getting some ear-time and might just end up my (or your) next jam-du-jour.
Boys / Lizzo - Brand new (released yesterday) and coming soon to a pool party near you. This is a jam and a half that I have to believe would make Missy Elliott proud.
Shrim / Melody's Echo Chamber - This one's for the headphones. The last song on Melody Prochet's brand-new Bon Voyage is the one that's sticking out for me as it slithers and shimmers somewhere between head-nodding psyche-pop and toe-tapping dance-cut.
RAMPAGE / GRAVEDGR - I don't always listen to EDM, but when I do, which is borderline 'next-to-never', it's this track by an act I had previously never heard of who only has this one song on Spotify currently.
Alright / Jain - My friend's friend sent him this song the other day. Said friend of mine then sent it my way a short while later. Now it's my duty to pass it on to anyone who is hankering to hear a great pop song with an immediately catchy chorus. Who is Jain? I have no idea, but if all her songs are close to this good, I'm looking forward to finding out.
Hide It In The Night / Electric Citizen - I stumbled upon this yesterday (thanks, Instagram) and it instantly made me want to grow out my hair, book a precautionary chiropractic appointment, and bang my head like it's 1983 again. Sounding like the best parts of Black Sabbath, Rush, and Blue Oyster Cult, propped up with a swagger reminiscent of early Aerosmith, this 2:59 ass kicking makes me remember why heavy metal will never be anything I consider a 'guilty pleasure'. There's zero guilt in the thrill this song gives me.
