Once we get past Miley Cyrus‘ “Nigthmare” and The Weeknd‘s Michael Jackson-indebted “Can’t Feel My Face,” it’s a mellow bunch of summer songs on this week’s Must-Hear Music podcast.
We listen to Leon Bridges’ appropriately titled “Smooth Sailin'” and talk about the old school-leaning singer-songwriter’s crossover potential (could he be the next Grammy darling?).
After listening to GoldLink‘s “Dance On Me,” we agree the track is great in spite of a few lyrical gaffes (a discussion of the icky phrase “tig ole bitties” ensues) and we follow up by discussing Sharon van Etten‘s moody rock track “Just Like Blood.” Plus: Podcast favorite Kehlani‘s Mr. Carmack track “All In.”
