It’s been a while but it’s a new year and finally a new playlist. This iteration has a few of my most played tracks of the past few months from artists that I’ve featured on the blog before, as well as some new finds.
We start off highlighting some of my favourite producers in the scene right now with some bounce tracks from Kaytranada, LoVibe and Kaidi Tatham, as well as some more funk, dance and house infused tracks from Kaelin Ellis, Mild Minds and IAMNOBODI.
Some Zimbabwean funk makes a brief appearance before moving onto the most exquisite track of the whole playlist in Emile Mosseri’s “Infinite Love” from the soundtrack to the film ‘Kajillionaire’. R&B moment that has been the majority of my rotation the past few weeks. Tracks from up and comers Cruza and the reggae-inspired Yaya Bey are paired with some throwbacks including “Could It Be” by Tevin Campbell and last year’s renaissance of the Brent Faiyaz fronted group Sonder on “Make Me Stay”.
Finally we come to a more hip hop themed section with a pair of tracks from an artist who is creeping more and more into my rotation in Doechii, a hard hitting rap track from Texan rapper Wacotron, as well as tracks from personal favourites Kari Faux and Smino, Kojey Radical and Lava La Rue.
Check out the playlist below and make sure to keep adding to the Community Playlist, the winning track from its last version will be announced shortly! Keep an eye out for a series of new posts featuring some more themed playlists, so you’ll never be without that perfect playlist.
