Here are some highlights from this month's featured songs, with a few words from the artists themselves:</P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG><SPAN class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Fudge. - Hugger-Mugger</SPAN></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><EM>n.

From the start, the energy builds, just to let it go, and create that hugger-mugger state of mind. If you play with fire, then you're gonna get burned:</P> <P> </P> <P>"There was a person that caused a lot of conflict within the band at the time of writing this song, the chorus lyrics are pretty literal."</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:3FLFDu7dMdaXSR98GsNUhN:small" target="_self">spotify:track:3FLFDu7dMdaXSR98GsNUhN:small</A></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Déjà Vega - Who We Are</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="dejavega.jpg" style="width: 200px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/114474i70899B7E93BD5877/image-size/small?v=v2&px=200" role="button" title="dejavega.jpg" alt="dejavega.jpg" /></span>Keeping the energy up, we move now to Winsford, Cheshire for a track with a bassline that, from beginning to end, carries us just like its message: self belief, and unity in times of despair.</P> <P> </P> <P>"The experience of being in a working band and never giving up inspired the track's title. It’s who we are."</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:36ol6LmjlLEzMMxY7pHHji:small" target="_self">spotify:track:36ol6LmjlLEzMMxY7pHHji:small</A> </P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG><SPAN>Rose Bates - Young God</SPAN></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><EM><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="rosebates.jpg" style="width: 178px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/114476iD863ACBF49F88838/image-size/small?v=v2&px=200" role="button" title="rosebates.jpg" alt="rosebates.jpg" /></span>I feel like a young god</EM></P> <P><EM>I feel like I wanna go back where I came from</EM></P> <P> </P> <P>Keeping the UK feel, from London we get Miss Rose with a song that came to be from a trip to the US:</P> <P> </P> <P>"The track was written when I was solo traveling in Nashville and Los Angeles. I'm from London but always wanted to explore the US music scene. I was in Nashville for a music writing camp I was invited to to. Then I went to LA, I'm lucky to have friends in LA I could stay with.</P> <P>The song was based off of the experiences I had over there and how it felt being there. I'd been to LA before but not on my own without family. I felt really grown up and independent, and I think the song was a celebration of that."</P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:776ZO8Vui63C8GqAXrCewG:small" target="_self">spotify:track:776ZO8Vui63C8GqAXrCewG:small</A> </P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Connor Bvrns & Bonn - ANTHEM (Acoustic)</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P>From Los Angeles, we go north to San Francisco, CA, with the stripped piano version of a pop and EDM track about the uncertainty of love.</P> <P> </P> <P><EM>I don't know why I'm still in pain, I don't know why<BR />I told you that you could not stay, by my side<BR />Looking for a message in a bottle<BR />But all it does is leaving me hollow<BR />I hear your melody in my head<BR />'Cause love is our anthem</EM></P> <P> </P> <P><EM><A href="spotify:track:0iS4eZ5VAPwDKNFbG29lOc:small" target="_self">spotify:track:0iS4eZ5VAPwDKNFbG29lOc:small</A> </EM></P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Dreamer Boy - Puppy Dog</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P>And for the last stop this month, our journey takes us all the way to Nashville, TN for a groovy indie pop track about that look everyone wants to get from that special person:<STRONG><BR /></STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><EM>I've been waiting for you to see me like I see you</EM><BR /><EM>Staring at you with my puppy dog eyes, floppy ears</EM><BR /><EM>While I'm fakin' a smile</EM></P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:track:13O36COxxWjcvc9r5Zsd1P:small" target="_self">spotify:track:13O36COxxWjcvc9r5Zsd1P:small</A> </P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Listen to them and much more on the complete Playlist</STRONG></P> <P> </P> <P><A href="spotify:user:osornios:playlist:2IYRLjcwf2X9vC0QrI0b0P" target="_self">spotify:user:osornios:playlist:2IYRLjcwf2X9vC0QrI0b0P</A></P> <P> </P> <P>See you next month!</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 22:31:15 GMT osornios 2023-06-29T22:31:15Z #MusicMonday Review - March 2020 https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/MusicMonday-Review-March-2020/ba-p/4924147 <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="Music_blogs-green.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/99872i3AAEAB940C731053/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999" role="button" title="Music_blogs-green.png" alt="Music_blogs-green.png" /></span></P> Thu, 29 Jun 2023 22:31:15 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/MusicMonday-Review-March-2020/ba-p/4924147 osornios 2023-06-29T22:31:15Z
