102. Zara Larsson - So Good (2017)

 

The past 2-ish weeks for me. Got a new bluetooth speaker at work so I haven't been hogging the stereo like I usually do... heard a lot of Metallica and Adele from my co-worker the past few weeks and cut back on my old-release listening pretty substantially. Still keeping up with the new releases though. Added 43 new releases and 2 old releases since March began.

These past few weeks have seen a lot of great stuff that I'm really connecting with. New Darkest Hour rips, Nova Collective is blowing my mind, Reward was a really amazing surprise for me... never heard them before but I'm really digging this record.

march. not my favorite month ever, but some decent stuff did come out.

 

Pretty sure this is everything new I checked out in March.

 

March was a good month.

 

Alright, so March was interesting. Starting to find some jams that are going to be in heavy rotation this summer, but I'm not sure how many of these albums are going to stick. Ed Sheeran was a massive flop for me; Drake was a weekend of awesomeness followed by not going back to it much; Mount Eerie is incredible but it's way too sad to regularly enjoy. Rick Ross and Laura Marling both came out of nowhere though. Pumped for April... I imagine Kendrick will be coming back in a big way.

Top 2017 albums of the month:
Laura Marling, Rick Ross, Sorority Noise

Recommended Songs I discovered this month:
Sinkane - "Favorite Song"
Mac DeMarco - "My Old Man"
Ed Sheeran - "Bibia Be Ye Ye"
Kungs vs Cookin on 3 Burners - "This Girl"
Rick Ross - "Game Ain't Based On Sympathy"
