One of my favorite sections within the Pandora app is "For You" because of the New Music recommendations. Sharing new music that was picked for me. Also, sharing a bit about the artists like @MOHLovesAlaska does. I always like to know more about the artists - especially artists that I'm discovering for the first time.

Album: Be Right Back by Jorja Smith

Album: The Off-Season by J. Cole

More about J. Cole: Born in Frankfurt, Germany and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Jermaine Cole got into hip-hop through his stepfatherโ€™s copy of 2Pacalypse Now, which led to a deep fascination with 2Pac and immersion in the work of Nas, the Notorious B.I.G. , Jay-Z and Canibus, among many other artists. Coleโ€™s high school grades earned him an academic scholarship to attend St. Johnโ€™s University in New York City, where the fledgling MC and beatmaker knew he could make progress as a musician. Five chart-topping albums as a solo artist, nine Top 40 pop singles as a headliner, and a dozen Grammy nominations make a strong case for J. Cole as the most commercially successful rap artist of the 2010s.

Song: Motorbike by Leon Bridges

More about Leon Bridges: Leon Bridgesโ€™ first strides as an R&B artist prompted comparisons to legends like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding , but the native Texan quickly came into his own with the remarkably refined Coming Home (2015) and Good Thing (2018), Top Ten albums that resulted in four Grammy nominations and a win in the category of Best Traditional R&B Performance (for โ€œBet Ainโ€™t Worth the Hand,โ€ off the latter).

_500W_500H.jpg

Song: New Normal by Khalid

More about Khalid: Just out of high school when he made his commercial debut with the ballad โ€œLocationโ€ (2016), non-traditional R&B singer and songwriter Khalid has attracted a large following with an undemonstrative but heartfelt vocal style and a down-to-earth perspective. Although he attained a major-label contract within months of uploading his first songs, โ€œLocationโ€ moved into the mainstream at a slow tempo similar to that of the song itself and became a Top 20 pop hit just after the release of American Teen (2017), one of the biggest album debuts of the late 2010s.

_500W_500H-1.jpg

Song: Skate by Silk Sonic

More about Silk Sonic: In early 2021, Bruno Mars debuted a new collaborative project with Anderson .Paak called Silk Sonic. After releasing their first single,โ€œLeave the Door Open,โ€ in March, the duo made their television debut with a performance at the Grammy Awards.

Self Titled Album: Vince Staples 

More about Vince Staples: Turning inward on his most introspective outing to date, rapper Vince Staples delivers another potent burst of lyrical storytelling on his self-titled fourth effort. Like 2018โ€ฒs quick shot FM!, Vince Staples only needs 22 minutes to get the job done, packing a short autobiographyโ€™s worth of tales into ten tracks that revisit his younger, lawless days in North Long Beach. Produced entirely by Kenny Beats , this trip down memory lane is deceptively catchy, revealing layer after layer as the beats hit deeper and simple melodies combine to create a laid-back vibe that entrances like a sunset over languid waves.

 

_1080W_1080H.jpg

Song: You Are My High by DJ Snake

More about DJ Snake:Grammy-nominated producer, DJ Snake is a Frenchman at the forefront of the electronic trap music movement.
