In Our Headphones: March 2022

[Alex]

Hi everybody,

It's time to celebrate the arrival of 🌻Spring🌻 and with it our new selection of awesome music. With the weather warming up, so are we. This month it's all about vocals which will take you on a trip.

Starting off with the songs recommended by @Kiril. "This time around I want to praise the female musical energy and the sensual vibes it's able to invoke in one's soul. Here are 3 fine ladies, whose modern music find a dear place in my "Smooth Matters" playlist! Enjoy the vibe!"

Slow down by Dame:

After hearing those hypnotizing voices ride the beat, we're jumping into a beautiful selection by @Katerina. The songs go from gentle to hard-hitting, and back to a queen jamming to the rhythm.

Middle of the Night (Violin) by Joel Sunny:

"I came across this creator on Tik Tok and when I saw the creative process of this remix and heard it, I immediately added it in my Liked songs. It's just good! Extremely good!"

Can you feel my heart by Bring me the horizon:

"Jamie was talking about going to hear this artist in a concert and I'd heard this track in ads, but never knew who made it, or the whole track. Now I savor it!"

Stop this Flame by Celeste:

"And last one, came up after listening to music together with Hristo in one of his playlists. I got addicted straight."

Next up we've got two tracks from @Emil, who's bringing some deep voiced strong energy to the mix. Accompanied by awesome instrumentals, we dive into the night.

After dark by Tito & Tarantula:

Continuing the dive into a metallic ocean we have @Yordan's track for this month. Namely:

Aura by Omega Masiff:

 https://open.spotify.com/track/6uiYIOF7b0VVxzh95jTkjx?si=76b1fd796a97469e

"Now there's a band that lives up to its name: you know an album is going to be a heavy hitter when they're literally called Omega Massif. This Atmospheric Sludge Metal quartet from Germany delivers some bone-breaking, head-splitting riffs that will definitely sprain your neck as they're just impossible to resist headbanging to. Another key feature in this genre is, of course, the atmosphere: the band takes you on a journey far into the mountains with the clean guitars perfectly portraying the captivating sight of nature, only for the distorted guitars and drums to kick in, slamming you into a nearby rock and beating you to death. Fun stuff."

Indeed, very fun and intricate sound there. To be honest, when I heard it I got up from my desk to swing my head around on the break-down. This track is an epic tale on its own.

As for my picks this month I've got two jams that came up in my Discover Weekly when I was riding the bus down the mountain. 

Baise-Moi by Terrenoire:

I love a good bass this chill track earned it's permanent spot in my library.

Dance for Me by Superjava:

https://open.spotify.com/track/1qvnjKNXejydDxzxXk8liF?si=5dc008573df64343

The perfect song to dance to and celebrate the coming of spring. I can't wait to listen to this while having a cold drink in the sun.

🎵 Hope you enjoyed this month's selection! 🎵
