My Favorite Songs of the Moment
I recently played music at a friend’s birthday party and I was shocked that no one recognized the majority of my songs.
For example, no one had heard of Sam Lao, who is the hottest artist in Dallas right now. I was horrified!
Growing up, music was a more communal experience. You knew what was on the radio and MTV. That was pretty much it.
Although we will always recognize the new songs from Beyonce or Rihanna, I don’t think we share enough music with each other. So, in the interest of oversharing, here are my top 10 songs of the moment.
Here’s the full list:
- Pineapple – Sam Lao
- Fake Love – Blende
- I’m in Control (Magician Remix) – Aluna George feat. Popcaan
- Fade – Malaa
- Palco – Gilberto Gil
- Stronger (Moony Remix) – Amy Winehouse
- Be Right There – Diplo & Sleepy Tom
- No One Understands – Midnight Club
- That Other Girl – Sevdaliza
- Slip Away – Niko The Kid
Music Videos
Unfortunately, not many of these songs have music videos, but some do. Here are my three favorites:
I’m in Control (Magician Remix) – AlunaGeorge feat. Popcaan
AlunaGeorge has been a favorite ever since the blockbuster remix of “You Know You Like It” by Tchami. Their original songs are alright, but the remixes are amazing.
Be Right There – Diplo & Sleepy Tom
My favorite thing about this song is that sounds like a remix of a 90’s dance hit. I am not sure if it is a cover of an older song, but this is Diplo House at its finest.
That Other Girl – Sevdaliza
I came across this song because my TV’s YouTube app recommended it. The video reminds me of classic Björk.
Honorable Mention: Best Friend
Although this song is a bit older, I still play “Best Friend” by Tokyo Vanity frequently. It is an obnoxious viral hit which we still demand request at the bars around here.
