singedsunO-KAY. YOU ALL. I have. Some music. For you.
Let's talk about it.
In all my whining last week about the death of 8tracks and it's dumb exporting prospects, I missed the AMAZING release of Charlotte Martin's new album, "Dawn". Listen, I talk a lot about a bunch of different musical styles but I'm a basic classical music bitch at heart, I promise. And if you're the type of person who needs music without words/lyrics in the background when you write, this new album is just this beautiful atmospheric creation that I don't really have good words for. Just, listen to it, okay? This is the link to the whole album, but I'm giving you a video version of the first song below. [Spotify]
Next up.
Listen. Let's just admit it, this is always going to be a haven for cover songs. I fucking love a good cover song and I'm not sorry about it. So let's just in 2020 go forward admitting that now and not apologizing for it later when I continue to add them to these Friday posts. Cool.
This one for "Lose You to Love Me" is a Selena Gomez song that I really couldn't have cared less about when I first heard it. Nor did I know this Jennel Garcia in the video before I saw this either. But I adore Chester's voice, so I always listen to his new stuff (of which there is not enough). This version of the song, with Chester playing and the two of them putting this into a duet format, is really amazing. It's soft and heartbreaking and so, so good.
I want to put a third video here as I usually do, but the song I want to share doesn't currently have a video -- not even an auto-generated one from YouTube. That sucks. Because it's genuinely a good song from a fun band, Brothers of Metal. So instead, I'm going to link you the song on Spotify and hope that you have the decency to give it a few minutes of time so you can see how great it is for yourself.
Brothers of Metal is a Swedish metal band in the style of Manowar -- and these people go ALL OUT for a Viking theme. Hardcore, folks. The new song that came out this week is "Brothers Unite" and I believe the whole album comes out next Friday, which I'm sure I'll link to at the time.
Honorable Mentions [YT Links]:
stories - When She Was Mine (feat. Rett Madison) a beautiful cover of an amazing Prince song
Jonathan Young - Into the Unknown (METAL Cover) - His metal covers are always good and the only thing that could make me like anything other than Brendan Urie's version of this song.
Halestorm - The Silence (acoustic) I feel like Lzzy's voice defies logic, I love these acoustic pieces they've done for the last album to talk about how they wrote these songs
Joseph - NYE I feel a little like Joseph is going to be one of those bands that in two years I'm going to be tearing my hair out as all my friends go crazy for them and I'm like "YEAH I TOLD YOU AND YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME". You Know?
Before I leave you, I feel like I'd be doing you a real disservice if I didn't recommend you check out the soundtrack for John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch, which is John's new Netflix special. It's adorable. [Spotify]
I'm 100% sure there was more than this and that YT is hiding my likes from me right now, but I feel like that's a pretty good list all things considered. I hope you find something in this classical to metal and back again music list for this week. I'm finding there's not a shit ton of main stream stuff I want to listen to right now hopefully this new year brings some good music in addition to maybe a little bit of the sanity and order and logic we all dearly need right now.
