Hi All! Back at it again with your August tune recap. Enjoy:

Part One

1. Jaymes Young – Happiest Year

Genre: Indie / Alternative

Jaymes’ voice gives me chills all the time. The lyrics to this tune are quite beautiful. Instead of going down a negative path, the song chooses to convey gratefulness for relationships since gone.

 

2. Sebastian Paul – So Done (ft. Phoebe Ryan)

Genre: Electronic

This tune is my break-repeat-button winner for the month. Contrasting my first pick which was all about choosing to be grateful and fondly looking back, this tune is about cutting the cord! The catchy beat and hook will keep you coming back.

 

3. THIEVES – Starting Over ft. Anthony Starble

Genre: Dubstep

I was hooked on this tune within the first 30 seconds. Love the vocals layered over the bass kicks.

 

4. Vincent – I’m No Magician (feat. Love, Alexa)

Genre: Electronic

This month’s tunes are heavy around vocals. Alexa’s soft, air-y qualities are beautiful. My favorite parts of this tune are around the choppiness first introduced around the 1:10 marker.

 

5. Popeska – I’ll Be Here

Genre: Electronic

With a minimal hook and a variety of sounds like wind chimes, this tunes rounds out the top 5.

 

Part Two

6. Benny Mayne – afraid of luv

Genre: R&B / Soul

The tagline of this tune got me right away, “inspired by a generation that’s fallen out of love…”. Benny’s vocals are perfectly designed for long drives when you want to contemplate life’s relationships.

 

7. Dosem – All Locations

Genre: Melodic House

Dosem can do no wrong. This melodic house tune is the background to your next dark basement party.

 

7. Ed Sheeran (feat. Skrillex) – Way To Break My Heart (Adam Pearce Remix)

Genre: Dance

Great dance remix of this Ed Sheeran tune.

 

9. Eli & Fur – Parfume (Dosem Remix)

Genre: Deep House

While this is an older tune, I recently discovered it through listening to Cycles Radio. Something about this remix reminds me of early house tracks I used to listen to.

 

10. Lizzo – Tempo (Ft. Missy Elliott)

Genre: Pop

This is the year of Lizzo. Also, Missy. Damn. Elliott. That is all.

As usual, don’t forget to visit thistune.rocks where I post all the tunes I’m listening to. Peace!
