A friend of mine recently told me that he's tired of every band having that "beach sound." Honestly though, in February right after walking back from class in the rain and eating lunch by myself, I really don't mind a boost of sunshine. Theres no denying this will sound great on the beach, but Blackbird Blackbird (along with several other contemporaries) seem to be moving away from a nostalgia-heavy aesthetic by throwing in live instrumentation and pushing vocals higher in the mix. More than anything else, "Give You Everything" sounds confident, and confidence is a seriously under-appreciated trait in music at the moment.
Shout out to
NMB for posting this one!
I am officially finished with school for the year! To celebrate I'm posting my first mixtape in a while. I'm not entirely sure how much time I'll spend blogging this summer, but leaving Tallahassee definitely marks more than a few changes for me. As such, over the next few days I will also be posting lists of my favorite songs and albums of the year so far. Spoiler alert: 8 of my 15 favorite songs are on this playlist. Oh and by the way, little dude on the left is my dad.
