5 Songs to Add to Playlist
@_MARIAHWASA
Hwasa of K-pop girl group Mamamoo debuts her first solo LP “Maria”. The South Korean singer has recently collaborated with Dua Lipa and Harry Styles. This song is on constant repeat, I find myself wanting to push the chair back and break out into dance routine.
@GAIDAAONTHEWEBS
Sudanese singer-songwriter Gaidaa’s debut EP Overture has smooth hits from start to finish. Based and raised in the Netherlands, Gaidaa is equipped with soulful demeanor, one that is reminiscent of Sade. “A Storm on a Summers Day” is a relaxing jam for lazy days on the patio during quarantine.
@ALMONDMILKHUNNI
Philadelphia singer Almondmilkhunni is giving us a hot girl summer whether we’re in quarantine or not. With the new single “damnboy” in its hustle and flow mood, it’s a dreamy wish-fullfillment song that perfectly represents the 23-year-old singer’s sense of girlboss freedom.
@TIERRAWHACK
This song is constantly on my playlist, still as good as the day it dropped. Another Philadelphia native, Tierra Whack approaches music as a playful invention and her music videos match up to that notion. The Grammy-nominated singer and inventor of the one-minute song, Tierra Whack is a girl out to refresh the style of hip-hop.
P.S. She also had a cameo in Beyonce’s Black is King (available on Disney +)
@SIRCHLOE
Sir Chloe, the indie rock band hailing form Vermont releases a late summer single “July”, a reflection of a summer relationship gone wry. Female vocals Dana Foote offers a smoky downtown lounge vibe in “July” with very much an east coast storytelling to it.
