Morning Blue (#745)

Ahoy,

I had some days off and I hope, I can find some focus now.

 

Last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• Madonna : Fan times. Because of a YouTube video I felt the need to revisit her album "American Life", which I see as one of her best works.
  
• Mabel : New album context. "About Last Night..." has lots of dance beats, but just a few highlights, if you ask me. One would be "Overthinking (feat. 24kGoldn)". 
  
• Lizzo : New album context. "Special" has a quite radio-friendly vibe. I guess I will revisit it soon.
  
• Razz : New album context. Tbh I did not really process everything about "Everything You Will Ever Need", so I'll need another spin.
  

Most played tracks:

• Giant Rooks - Morning Blue : Hm, this one sounds like they tried to go all Coldplay - but maybe it will grow on me.

Noteworthy:

• V**gra Boys : New album context. "Cave World" sounds okay.
  
• grim104 : New album context. "Imperium" did not really convince me. I just like this artist as part of Zugezogen Maskulin better.
  
• j-hope : New album context. "Jack In The Box" has some nice tunes.
  
• Metric : New album context. "Formentera" sounds okay.
  
• All Saints : Flashback times.
  

Scrobble count:  185.573
