INTRODUCTION

Hey everyone! After a hiatus, I decided to start making these again. However, I won't be posting weekly just because I don't have enough time each week to listen to a lot of music, so I will be posting these whenever I feel like it, which means that I won't necessarily be uploading during the weekend.

RECOMMENDATIONS

 1: The Knocks & Kah-Lo - Awa Ni



 It feels a little weird hearing Kah-Lo on a tropical house song, but whatever. She has a knack for making irresistibly catchy, dancy songs, no matter what producer she's working with. (And I love the 'Ginger' reference at 1:46.).

' '2: Yuna & Little Simz - Pink Youth



Yuna is an artist I've been meaning to get into for a while now, but I've never really had the time to listen to her stuff until now, which is a shame, because this song is great. I love the 80s vibes in this song, and Little Simz absolutely kills it on her part.

 3: Ladies' Code - Feedback



Well, this was not a song that I was expecting to like. I normally dislike 3rd-gen K-pop songs, but this is actually kind of a bop.

 4: Hayley Kiyoko - I Wish



Despite the fact that she's basically a pop star nowadays, Kiyoko still makes some pretty good stuff. I wasn't expecting her to make a lo-fi pop type of song, especially given last year's singles (which were okay, although the rest of her album was much better).

 5: Kacey Musgraves - Oh, What A World



I'm not a fan of pop country, but for some reason, I actually like this song, and the same goes for everything else I've heard from Musgraves. I just find it so interesting how her producers are able to incorporate elements of pop into her music while still making it enjoyable. Also, thanks Chibi for introducing me to this :D

''' 6: Tycho feat. Saint Sinner - No Stress'''



Scott Hansen has to be one of my favorite producers of all time. I'd rather listen to traditional Tycho, but even so, Weather is still a masterpiece in its entirety.

' '7: LiL BO WEEP - you can not put a fire out by pouring fuel in the wound



I don't listen to emo rap, or much emo music in general, but LiL BO WEEP makes some pretty chill stuff.

 8: TOKiMONSTA - Rose's Thorn



I don't really know what else to say about this song other than the fact that I love how it gives off Boards of Canada vibes while still sounding very modern.

9: Nicky Romero & Stadiumx - Rise (feat. Matluck)



A few weeks ago, I was rummaging through all my old iTunes music and came across a song by Stadiumx, and then I thought, "Hmmm, I haven't listened to these guys in a while, I'll have to take a listen to their newer stuff," and it turns out that they're actually still doing pretty good. Plus, it's nice to know that even some of the bigger names in electronic music are still making progressive house (and not just sh*tty pop songs).

10: Anna of the North - Thank Me Later



Normally I don't like it when alternative artists go pop, but I've been a fan of Anna of the North since I was in middle school and she's still putting out bops. I love the Flume-y vibes that this song gives off, and she sounds great here.
