It has been a week. Case in point, I woke up at 4:45AM for no good reason. So I got a snack and a drink and I'm watching videos and hoping I can sneak in at least another hour, hour and a half of sleep before I have to be up for work. Since I'm already listening to some music, I thought I'd get an early lead on my post for this week.
First up is this amazing medley of songs Alicia Keys played at the Grammys of songs she wishes she wrote. She plays two pianos at the same time as she plays small bits of some amazing songs. I love all of these songs but I'm especially pleased to hear her include things like Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" which is a favorite of mine.
Then there's a really lovely song from Lauren Aquilina called "Tobacco in My Sheets". I saw her mention on Twitter that this song is extremely personal for her, and you can hear that in the lyrics. It's about her parents broken relationship, her own anxiety and trouble with relationships. It's soft and such a good example of how lovely her voice is.
And I'm going to include a song I found last week after I made my new music Friday post that I wish I'd seen early. Avi Kaplan, formerly the bass voice in Pentatonix, has over the past two-ish years or so been releasing his own solo stuff. All good, but this new video from last week seems to be proof that there's a new sound coming for him and I'm in love with it. It's so good.
I'm almost positive that there's going to be some new stuff I haven't seen yet, since Friday releases sometimes come out a little slower. I do know that Billie Eilish's new album is out today so I'm going to try and give that a listen while I'm at work today.
Anyone else have new music they're listening to lately?
