Have you been dying for some new music to listen to after repeating so many older songs? This is for you! I know, from experience, that repeating the same songs can be boring and make you tired of the music you’re supposed to love. These new lyrical works will definitely catch your attention and help you explore new sides of the music industry that you might have never thought of before.
If you’re looking for a soft song that is also able to pack a punch, the new single Lifetime by Faye Webster should be your next best option. The hints of soft piano notes make this song so subtle, but the bass behind it all is what makes the song more intense. The lyrics are also just as mellow as the piano of the song, yet altogether the song is such an interesting combination of piano, bass, violin, and percussion that it will surely be able to give you what your soft indie heart desires.
Searching for an even sadder song than the previous one? Not only do we have a song for you, but a whole album. Although Mitski is a pretty well-known artist, her newest release is able to tug at the heartstrings of just about anyone… classic Mitski. Her album, named The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, holds the key to many sad songs that can help get that well-needed cry out. More specifically, My Love Mine All Mine is one of the best songs on the album. The lyrics are touching, not only to the female gaze but to anyone who feels some connection with the song. The piano with the soft drum gives the song a little sad jazz feel to it, but when talking about music, it is so much more than its composition.
If you’re looking for some upbeat music with a vintage touch to it, Spotify recently released Jimi Hendrix’s song Killing Floor (Live at The Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, CA – August 18th, 1967). The roughness of the guitar during the intro of the song can immediately draw a rock fanatic in. Jimi Hendrix is known for being one of the greatest guitar players of all time. The voice of Hendrix gives a vintage touch, seeing as when he sings it sounds older, which gives listeners today a taste of what music was like back in the day, and gives the artist more respect for playing back then as well.
A song that may not necessarily be new, but rather is new to the ears of those on popular social media apps, would be Strangers by Kenya Grace. This song rose to popularity from TikTok, with many users of Gen Z being able to relate to it in their personal lives. The lyrics of this song hit deeply with many, as our generation continually fails to make solid and meaningful connections with people. The overall feeling of the song gives the listener a vibe similar to driving through the city at night, which many young people really like. If you’re willing to explore the electronic-pop music genre, this song will be perfect for you.
Overall, these songs will definitely make your playlist more interesting with different types of genres and styles. Even if none of the songs that were selected match your specific preferred taste, it’s never a bad thing to shake things up! Your music taste changes and flows as you grow older, so it’s better to embrace all genres than just feel bound to one for the rest of your life.
For the good of your playlists, we will be back next month for more music that could potentially interest you, and definitely interests us!
