It’s about being comfortable in our own skin and guys getting use to who we’re are."</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><A href="spotify:track:6ZZxERW506hwHOeRVbow6k:small" target="_self">spotify:track:6ZZxERW506hwHOeRVbow6k:small</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>HONÜ - I Hurt You</STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Moving to Hilo, Hawaii, this trip-hoppy release takes us there with its nice beat:</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>"I am from Hawaii and went back home recently to visit and escape the madness my life was in. I was really inspired from my hometown Hilo and wanted to create a project that my Hawaiians could enjoy with me.</P> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Every record reflects a moment of my life or a place on the big island that stood out to me while growing up."</DIV> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><A href="spotify:track:0emSGoXXvsm0y6Y6uBIjpd:small" target="_self">spotify:track:0emSGoXXvsm0y6Y6uBIjpd:small</A>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG><SPAN>Ed Keziah - Tenerte Ahí</SPAN></STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><EM><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="edkeziah.jpg" style="width: 200px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/112744i58C9E1F3CA1AF1BE/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="edkeziah.jpg" alt="edkeziah.jpg" /></span>A donde vaya quiero tenerte ahí</EM><BR /><EM>Entre montañas o un litoral que construí</EM><BR /><EM>Y caerá la noche con su manto celestial</EM><BR /><EM>Para envolvernos una vez más</EM></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>From Colombia, this ballad represents what music really is, having the inspiration to express ourselves:</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>"I wrote it almost 3 years ago. I had a girlfriend that liked to celebrate every month we were together but I wasn't into it. One day she told me that my attitude was negligent so I decided to write her a song and give it to her as a 6 month present. This song was the outcome, and it represents the idea of how time can change everything."</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><A href="spotify:track:7iNB1CO9WtpwRQ3es53IFG:small" target="_self">spotify:track:7iNB1CO9WtpwRQ3es53IFG:small</A>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG><SPAN>Märtton - Vuelta al Sol</SPAN></STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="martton.jpeg" style="width: 200px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/112745i44F5A438EA729780/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="martton.jpeg" alt="martton.jpeg" /></span>From the streaming capital of the world, Mexico City, this pop song reminds us to never forget our roots in order to move through life:<STRONG><BR /></STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>"We find inspiration in our solid relationship as brother and sister. Our commitment is to plant into heart’s people the seed of self-love. We believe in the importance of strengthening our spirit day by day, so the most pure and positive feelings like kindness and love, wins over the “dark side” that sometimes auto sabotages ourselves as human beings."</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><A href="spotify:track:0kQCWW0wJKli7Osn4fg0Hz:small" target="_self">spotify:track:0kQCWW0wJKli7Osn4fg0Hz:small</A>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>Shybits - Bruce Lee</STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Finally, from Berlin, Germany, a very fun post punk track that invites us to elevate ourselves to be <EM>Bruce Lee</EM>.

In early January 2020 Spotify recommended me an album that had just been released, by a female artist. The album is called "Midnight", the album cover is dark blue with some green and yellow details. The point is that I don't remember the artist's name and I can't find the album at all because the name is very generic and only appears as a result of more recognized artists. Can someone help me somehow? THANKS.</SPAN></P> Fri, 14 Feb 2020 08:23:53 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/MusicMonday-Review-January-2020/bc-p/4898642#M8476 isabellalorenz 2020-02-14T08:23:53Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/MusicMonday-Review-January-2020/bc-p/4900955#M8477 <P>LV IT</P> Wed, 19 Feb 2020 13:43:37 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/MusicMonday-Review-January-2020/bc-p/4900955#M8477 user-removed 2020-02-19T13:43:37Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/MusicMonday-Review-January-2020/bc-p/4904792#M8478 <P>Nice post,&nbsp;<a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/36297">@osornios</a>&nbsp;!<BR /><BR />I very much like the message&nbsp;<STRONG><SPAN>Märtton </SPAN></STRONG>are conveying.
