lo-fi beats

Low fidelity (lo-fi) is a genre of music that is considered aesthetically pleasing. It’s not distracting at all. I listen to lofi because it’s just really smooth, pleasing, calmful… it can take you away sometimes and you can just daydream. It’s something you can listen to while laying on your bed with emotions. Most of the time, it’s just instrumental beats. I listen to this genre while I study because it’s the best type of music that you can work to and focus on material.

A couple popular songs that include lo-fi beats are Jocelyn Flores – XXXTentacion. The beat he used is called “i’m closing my eyes” by potsu. Potsu’s beat “falling down” was also used in Carry On.

My favorite artist is Shiloh Dynasty. He’s featured in several songs but his voice is really nice. There is a playlist on spotify dedicated to his music and features if you want to check it out.

My favorite song is greafer – letting go. I started listening to it in the 8th grade and I still do now!

 

 

weeknd recognition

The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye)  is one of my favorite artists of all time because his music is really great to listen to in the nighttime, which is my favorite part of life in general. It’s also really lively and his vocals are excellent. He is from my country, and although he doesn’t speak much of the language, we really support him and his career as an artist. I suggest anyone that if would like to listen to him, please do!
