Here we are, we have reached my final blog post for the year 2019. Wow, this semester has gone by so fast and all I can say is that I’m grateful for my experience here at MSA. I have met wonderful people and experienced so many wonderful things it is so amazing, looking back on how far I’ve come!
So at the beginning of the semester, I started this segment on my blog called, “Playlist of the Month”. This is where I create a playlist of music inspired by how I feel during that time. Now I’m not going to tell a story, I have been slacking recently, but that only means I have more music to share with you guys! So without further, a do here is my final playlist of 2019!
For some reason, I have a taste for old school music for the past months, and when I say old school, I mean the music you hear at your family reunion lol. This is so funny to me because I grew up not liking old school music because I always thought it was boring. Now since I’m older and I have lived more, I have a better understanding of what the singers are talking about.
So, in the playlist are a lot of old school artists from different decades. Such as Nina Simone, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Fleetwood Mac, and even J. Blackfoot. I encourage you all to give the songs I listen, and who knows maybe you might find you a new favorite song.
MUSIC VIDEOS ARE IMPORTANT TOO!
You see, let me tell you something about myself. As much as I love music, I also love music videos. I know you guys understand what I’m talking about. When you see a great, cinematic music video to your favorite song. It grows your love for the song even more and the next thing you know, you have watched the video 50 times already. (Yes I am talking about myself). Anyways here are some of my favorite music videos in general.
JAY-Z – Moonlight
Blood Orange – Jewelry
SZA- Babylon
Snoh Aalegra- I Want You Around
Beyoncé – Sandcastles
Beyoncé – Hold Up
Steve Lacy- RYD/ DARK RED
Solange – When I Get Home
Now, this might be the longest playlist I have ever created, and it’s still a lot more songs I would like to include. Although, I cannot because they are explicit; however, if you would like to listen to the songs you can follow me on Spotify @Stephyne Weathersby :-).
With that being said, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! HO, HO, HO. (Is Stephyne the real Santa Clause? The world may never know!)
I do not think that I have listened to any of these songs, but you are an “aesthetic” individual, so I trust that your music does not veer away from this. Thank you for including a lot in this post. Also, I mainly wanted to comment because of the end. Thank you for making me laugh. Gasp, I was not prepared to have the crushing truth revealed in such a way. (;
