Songs of the Week 365: June 12 – June 18

#5. Hatchie – The Rhythm

https://soundcloud.com/hihatchie

I get some real strong early 2000s vibes from this track.


#4. Jasmoon – Liquid Fig

https://soundcloud.com/jasofmoon

Another prime “stuck in my head but can’t remember who the artist is or the song name” kinda songs. Been coming back to it over and over for the last few weeks.


#3. Tory Lanez – I Like

https://soundcloud.com/torylanez

Another by my main guilty pleasure. There’s just something about a Tory Lanez song that I can’t resist. Help.


#2. Driftwood Feat. LVNDVN – 3am

https://soundcloud.com/iamdriftwood

Came here for the LVNDVN feature. Stayed for the groovy R&B sounds.


#1. Oly Sherman – In The Summer

https://soundcloud.com/olysherman

This dude needs to open for Boy & Bear. Just a perfect compliment in sound and feels. Lovely track.

Songs of the Week 364: May 29 – June 4

#5. Boy & Bear – State of Flight

https://soundcloud.com/boyandbear

Got my tickets to a Boy & Bear show later this summer and I could NOT be more excited. Such a wholesome, feelgood band.


#4. Emmit Fenn – Crazy Like Me

https://soundcloud.com/emmitfenn

This has been a hard week to handicap, with all the tracks kinda a mushy “#2-#4” range feel. That said, Emmit Fenn has built into one of those “must see” acts for me when I can next get the opportunity.


#3. Pressyes – Purpose

https://soundcloud.com/pressyes

Wasn’t until I went to write up this week’s post that I realized the moniker here is “Press-Yes”. Clever, I guess? I dunno. But hey, tune is top stuff, especially ending 1 minute.


#2. Rxlph. – Resentment

https://soundcloud.com/rxlphlxne

Sounds so much like prime time 6lack! Love it.


#1. Lagoon Wavey – Highway

https://soundcloud.com/user-412761275

While the last dude was a 6lack clone, now we have a bit of a Ty Dolla $ign stand-in (I think? Maybe I’m messing up the comp, but there’s definitely a popular hip hop artist out there who could be a vocal clone of Lagoon Wavey).
