Valentine's delivered in a big musical way this week.

We're gonna start with my new obsession, this amazing new song from Lizzo, "Cuz I Love You". I was still awake Wednesday night when this song dropped and I listened to it a bunch before I went to bed and then today at work I basically had it on repeat all day. It's such a bop. Lizzo has been getting a lot of acclaim lately and it's so deserved, she's been putting out good stuff for years. Don't sleep on this icon in the making.

Cuz I Love You is a big MOOD, with this old school big band, almost musical kind of vibe and it's amazing.



Next up, let's do a cover. Because when don't I like a good cover? (The answer is never.) Superfruit, a duo made up of two of the members of Pentatonix, Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying put a new video out today for "The Promise". The song is an upbeat cover of an old When in Rome song from the 80s and this is a really amazing take on it. The video also stars olympic skater Adam Rippon just doing his thing on the ice and it's wonderful. (I do wish someone would talk to Mitch about his "fashion" takes because the oversized baggy high fashion looks are just trying too hard. But it doesn't take away from how amazing his voice is, especially with Scott's.)



You can listen to the original song here.

Lastly, there's this new song from Alyson Stoner, "Stripped Bare". Alyson is a former Disney kid and this song seems to be a pretty personal one about some of her experiences. I've watched Alyson in the past due to her dance work, she's an amazing dancer, but I've really enjoyed some of the music she's put out in the last few months. This one really got me. Also, this video has a really powerful scene of her actually cutting and shaving her hair.



A few honorable mentions for this week too (and it's still not even Friday).

I have just discovered Lizzo in the last month or so because someone recced Juice. I don't love all her stuff - some of it, including Juice, ends up repetitive in the wrong way for me - but but some of it is so fun. I think Boys is my favorite that I've found so far. And I am always a sucker for a big band sound, so that new one you linked was great. :D

And I'd never encountered Jacob Banks before, but wow you weren't lying about his voice. That's lovely.
