New Music Friday

It's been a whole month since my last new music Friday post and not for lack of me thinking about music and wanting to post. Just a lack of me having the time and brain space to do actually do the posts. I have seen two concerts since I posted last: Bush with Breaking Benjamin & Alice in Chains, and also just tonight, Weird Al Yankovic. His shows are always strange an unique, most especially on these tours where they don't play any of his most popular hits. But I think it was a great show. Since it's been awhile and my brain is a little too full for the moment, I hope you'll forgive me if I do a bit of a quick hits and single spotlight kind of thing for this first post back in awhile. Back during the AfroPunk festival in mid-2020 I posted a video of Moses Sumney, a Ghanaian musician with a really unique style. This week a view he did for a recent live performance came across my feed, a two part video where he covers Björk's "Come to Me" and then performs his own song, "Doomed". Moses' musical stylings are all over the place from jazz & r&b to pop and electronic and rock. I really love his performative style and he just does these really cool pieces. You can view his most recent album live on YouTube in one performance set called "A Performance in V Acts" . If you like that you can go back and view his previous full performance on YouTube called "BLACKALACHIA". Both are embedded below in that order. Both are beautiful pieces that are worth an hour of your time each.

If you like the more eclectic sounds of bands like Tank and the Bangas, The Postal Service, James Blake, Brittany Howard, give Moses Sumney a listen, he might be for you. I hope you all have found something new and exciting to listen to recently. Tell me what it is, I want to know!
