Makeba

Faith S.Leave a comment

Hey y’all! Welcome back to Current Faves. So, the new song of the week I found because it was in a Levi’s commercial. I was not convinced to buy a pair of Levi’s, but I did find a catchy new song! “Makeba” is by the French singer Jain and it’s about Miriam Makeba. She was a South African singer who sang about civil rights in her country.
Jain made “Makeba” a song about something that mattered, but it was still fun, which I believe is difficult to do. Jain added a funky beat that makes you dance and the words are so easy to learn, if it comes on, you can sing along with ease! And the formula for a jam is to be able to sing along at any given moment. If you listen to “Makeba” and end up loving it like I do, follow my playlist Current Faves. All you have to do is click the Spotify icon in the link at the bottom of this post.

Black Skinhead

This week I bring you another song my brother, Matthew,  introduced me to—”Black Skinhead”. I know what you’re thinking, skinhead? It sounds really shady but it’s actually really empowering. Not only does it empower black people to be confident and break the mold, but it can empower anyone who has been oppressed or has been told no. I am very indifferent to Kanye West, but this song shows me why people love him. Kanye West has a way of making the person listening to the song feel like they can do anything and that is what I’m all about. I love songs that make the listener empowered and this song expresses that message.

I highly recommend listening to this song before a sporting event that you’re playing in or anytime you need a pick me up. You can listen to a clip of the song right in this browser by clicking on the song at the bottom of the post. If you like “Black Skinhead”, listen to the rest of my playlist, Current Faves, by clicking the Spotify icon in the link at the bottom of this post.

Alfie’s Song (Not So Typical Love Song)

Faith S.Leave a comment

Hey everyone and welcome back to Current Faves. This week, I’ve been obsessed with “Alfie’s Song (Not So Typical Love Song)”. The song is going to be on the movie soundtrack of Love, Simon which I’m also excited for. This song is by The Bleachers, which is actually only one person, Jack Antonoff. I just started to listen to him and this song makes me want to listen to more of his music.

The song jumps straight into the first verse which made me sway along to the words. The beat is fun and cheery and it makes you feel like a child. In case you haven’t noticed with my other blog posts, I’m very into songs that make you think you’re young and “Alfie’s Song” embodies just that. I highly recommend you listen to this song immediately and if you turn out to dig this song, listen to the other songs in my Current Faves playlist by clicking the Spotify icon in the link at the bottom of this post.
