New Music: April Playlist

Photo by Nicole Odemann

I've been venturing out into new and foreign sounds to stretch my sensibilities during some more formidable weeks writing songs and I'm feeling a little late to the game on this SIa song. I've just stayed away from pop culture for the most part -- then every once in a while I just binge on it for an hour or two and find gems like this every so often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWZGAExj-es

Now this grammy appearance makes a lot more sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rFkpcyZ598

I've been hearing some of the music that's popular on Spotify or on some of the blogs I used to follow and I'm finding it harder to identify with some of the songs there. I grew up listening to melody driven songs, and it seems there has been a shift to more "beat driven" music. Here are some songs for April:
