Apologies for being absent the past 2 weeks Steemit fam. 🙏 The rigors of the exam period require me to put in almost 100% of my time into studying, but now that its finished, expect daily posts from today onwards. For those that are interested, my exams went as expected. Nothing out of the ordinary from my Engineering Maths and Geotechnical courses, although the Pre-Stressed Concrete Design was a little tougher than anticipated. Pray to whichever deity you receive solace from that your boy passes his exams without any issues.
With that out of the way, lets get to what I am listening to right now. 🎧
#1 Signs - Drake
Old Drake. Yet new Drake. Old-New Drake? Regardless, the song delivers a comforting sound. It's all you can ask out of the man right now. 8/10
#2 Want You Back - HAIM
I CAN NOT speak highly enough of HAIM. Or white Migos as I like to call them. They have the presence of boy bands past, with voices reminiscent of Shania Twain. If you dont have the time of day to listen to truly uplifting music, just listen to the falsetto on the last hook. Please. 9/10
#3 Tyrant (ft. Jorja Smith) - Kali Uchis
Is it unfair for me to compare the combination of these two voices to an imaginary track that includes both Amy Winehouse and Rhianna? Yes? I dont care. That's what it sounds like to me. Sexy. So sexy. 9/10
#4 I Don't Know What To Tell You - Redrama
"A god damn white man singing the blues." This choice is inspired from the NBA Live 2007 soundtrack. Went into the way back machine and played that on my PlayStation 2 yesterday. I long for video game soundtracks with this quality of music. 7.5/10
#5 Ex Calling - 6LACK
Before you ask. No. My ex was not calling. The song still managed to make me furious at even the thought of her. It's fun how music can do that, right? 7/10
Some suggestions of new music down in the comments would be appreciated! Also, let me know on other pop-culture/sports stories or events you would like my thoughts on. Peace, team. ✌️
