Come and Share This Jam with Me

Courtney Barnett, the leader of the new school of rock, is back! Okay okay, so she had collaborated with Kurt Vile  on Lotta Sea Lice   in 2017, but this is purely Courtney Barnett as her upcoming album, which "Nameless, Faceless" is featured on, Tell Me How You Really Feel , is due to release on May 18th of this year, and that is super exciting. Barnett's, previous album Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit , was freaking sweet. Her ability to combine the singer-songwriter thing with core rock elements, to create jams with intricate and narrative-style lyrics that explored complex and worldly themes like cognitive dissonance or feeling unfulfilled were intertwined in stories like, a person wanting to be an elevator operator. The album was something unique in a boring phase of rock music, but was still able to be wildly entertaining, which is a pretty good mix if you ask me. However, it seems all the tricks up Courtney Barnett's sleeve have yet to be

From alona chemerys , the YouTube channel that brought you " Sink Into the Floor ," comes another groovy and sexy tune, this time from the trio, Triathalon, entitled, "Deep End." Off Triathalon's recent album, Online , "Deep End" is a blunt (pun intended) view of a day off: "Roll the weed up, light it smoke it, like I should," and a "fuck you" to any reverent bullshit of themes that is constantly reiterated and recycled into songs. There are no complexities in its meaning, tone or melodies. It is a consistent, yet beautifully soothing beat with mixed in exaggerations of chords, and a repetition of the chorus until the bridge brings it home "Lately I can't focus/work too much/ and deal with bullshit." Lyrically, it is unapologetically fed up, stressed out, and wanting a break from the normal bullshit that people go through everyday, which is what makes this song friggin' cool. There is a genuine and pure

We're changing the dream-pop style for some funk-inspired soul. "25" is a single from the 22-year-old  Fieh , the head of a nine-piece band, that offers a jazz, funk-infused groove that gives off that finger-snapping, slight hip shake feel, while singing about being a boss-ass-bitch. Her song " Glu " is a similar 'bout regarding independence and not needing no man, but something more high-paced and to dance to, but "25" is a great track to kick it back to.  What about being a boss-ass-bitch? The lyrics to "25" is definitely few and far in-between but it is very efficient in the message it is evoking: concentrating on oneself to reach desired goals, and the person she's with has to either keep up or get out, "So don't come around try'na to tell me shit/You don't know shit 'bout how I am on it." The later repetition of "And you know" is to reiterate this strength of independence, and I think

Boy pablo  , really made a name for himself in 2017, and although " Everytime " was one dope song ( a contender for my best songs of 2017 ) I think "Ready / Problems," deserves some recognition. Off the ep, Roy Pablo, " Ready / Problems" is an emotional track about unrequited love; a love who doesn't put the same effort for him as he does for him or her. A very simplistic song, the lyrics reading like expressionistic poetry, evokes feeling and emotion rather than a narrative (dream-pop 101), "lately you say you're not ready/but will you ever be ready?" My man is caught in confusion of what to do, and is perplexed as to why the person will not even try. The last verse, the reprise of the chorus, emphasizes this notion, as he passionately sings the remaining verses--something rather uncustomary for boy pablo who sings in a low cadence--showing his frustration as if he's yelling at the person to answer, to give him some sort of re

If you see Bootsy Collins featured on a track, I don't care who's song it is, it is a must-listen. "After the Storm" is a recent release from Kali Uchis that features another collaboration with the flower boy himself Tyler, the creator, and friggin' Bootsy Collins , and what a tune we have here. Clearly the dream pop deal, or just vibe culture seems to be an influence for Kali because "After the Storm" is such a soothing and spacious song, and like many of the songs attributed to dream pop, its lotus effect wraps you into the spell-binding-nature to deliver a cool message. Moving on from a relationship is hard, but it's harder not to have resentment for the other person and really come right out of it optimistically. This notion is pretty much the idea that surrounds the dimensions of the song and is a call to be strong; the hurt will pass, and if this relationship didn't work out, there's always more to be had, and eventually, the r
