Sharing this week's new music from the For You section, based on my listening. 🎧
Song: New Normal by Khalid
More about Khalid: Just out of high school when he made his commercial debut with the ballad “Location” (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, “Location” 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.
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,“Leave the Door Open,” 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 2018′s quick shot FM!, Vince Staples only needs 22 minutes to get the job done, packing a short autobiography’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.
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.
