[new] Brigitte Calls Me Baby – “Too Easy” (118bpm Bmaj)
Transport yourself back to 1985 with Brigitte Calls Me Baby’s “Too Easy.” Here’s something fun to do… Listen to the chorus of “Too Easy.” Now listen to the chorus of Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All.” Then, listen to the chorus of Gordon Lightfoot’s “If You Could Read My Mind.” Sound familiar?
[new] Holly Humberstone – “Down Swinging” (156bpm Bmaj)
[new] Nathan Dawe, Bebe Rexha – “Heart Still Beating” (140bpm Bmaj / Bmin)
[new] Snoh Aalegra – “Sweet Tea” (54bpm Bmaj)
Almost sounds like a Michael Jackson record. Beautiful track.
[new] Fletcher – “Suckerpunch” (142bpm Bmaj)
[new] Frankie Cosmos – “One Year Stand” (160bpm Bmaj)
[new] Khalid – “Skyline” (120bpm Bmaj)
The super-annoying auto-tuned chorus at the beginning almost made me hit the ‘next’ button, but I’m glad I stayed with it. This is a solid pop record.
[new] Benee – “Beach Boy” (111bpm Bmaj)
[new] St. Vincent – “Pay Your Way In Pain” (63bpm Bmaj Bmin)
St. Vincent definitely brings it on this one. It’s got a sick down-tempo groove with a fat analog synth bassline, terrific multi-layered vocal harmonies that kinda slug you in the gut, (the chords used are reminiscent of Prince’s style,) and lead vocals that are fun, over-the-top and portray a drama-queen caricature that’s both fun to listen to and punchable. Love the video too with its “shot on video” motif complete with tube cameras that show comet tails. Nice!
