Songs of the Week 247: December 22 – December 28

dua lipa#5. Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia

The chorus is just too catchy to not feature.


k.roosevelt-bloom#4. K.Roosevelt – Bloom

Digging K.Roosevelt’s new album, with Bloom being one of the standout tracks imo.


ta-ku#3. Ta-Ku feat. Matt Mcwaters – White

Ta-Ku is one of those artists who I never fear about turning on, despite the crowd I’m with. Easy, non-offensive music that fits almost any occasion.


the weeknd#2. The Weeknd – Heartless

This track really didn’t do it for me on the first listen. However, I heard a cover (yes, already), and for some reason that seemed to change my mind about the original. All I want for 2020 is the return of the “House of Balloons” version of The Weeknd. Is that too much to ask?! Give me some grainy, dark R&B.


kaytranada-needit#1. Kaytranada feat. Chartlotte Day Wilson – What You Need

Boy this track is smoooooooth. Kaytranada is secretly so good. I mean I know he’s a big deal now, but I really think he should be a bigger deal. It’s criminal how underrated he is.
