Wenn die Sonne scheint (#805)

Ahoy,

last week I managed to take some time to listen to new music.

 

Scrobble count:  194.735

Last week in covers:

Most played artists:

• BABY GRAVY : New album context. bbno$ and Yung Gravy joined forces for a new album, called "Baby Gravy 3". It has some nice bangers.
  
• Icona Pop : New album context. "Club Romantech" seems okay, when it comes to modern dance pop.
  
• Slowdive : New album context. "everything is alive" did not really convince me. Some tracks seem a bit boring. But I like the song "kisses".
  
• Rowli : Curiosity context. So checked out "Teenage Tears" and I think this is nice youthful pop.
  

Most played tracks:

• Culture Beat - The Other Side Of Me : What a lovely tune. I am so hooked on that song these days.
  
• Rowli & Hank - Wenn die Sonne scheint : My favorite track from "Teenage Tears" - and I even don't mind the sample.
  

Noteworthy:

• Nightly : New album context. "wear your heart out" has its moments, but no song seems to reach the level of "dry eyes".
  
• Blush Always : Curiosity context. Tbh I already forgot about "Divers".
  
• Melanie C : Flashback times. "Northern Star" was a successful pop album - and I love that "Hex Hector Radio Mix" of "I Turn To You".
  

News

█ So the 2023 MTV VMAs were quite a show - and a certain big artist did not need to perform anything and was just getting awards throughout the event. Anyways... highlights were the acceptance speech of Diddy and performances by Shakira and TXT (featuring Annita).
