Every month, our music editor ED curates a special selection of newly released music for the OMG Playlist on Spotify (follow us @omgblog).
This month, we’ve been loving Kim Gordon‘s new album The Collective. The royally punk diva, has been expressing dissatisfaction since her Sonic Youth days began in 1981. It’s no surprise that she would be critical of modern technology and cell-phone usage. In our favorite track, “Psychedelic Orgasm,” Kim shows us an Internet-rattled inner monologue through a spoken word with heavy guitar riffs and trap beats.
For a little mystical melancholy, we’ve been listening to “The Make Believe” from Casey MQ & Oklou. The high-pitches with soft edges, our definitely getting us in our feelings. Check out the music video to get the full picture!
Are you ready to get on your horse and gallop through the meadow? We’ve had a big taste of country this month with Beyoncé‘s Cowboy Carter and Kacey Musgraves‘ Deeper Well. While we do love our more dance-able genres, this month we encourage you to sing along and dip into some good-ol’-fashioned yearning.
And it doesn’t stop there: This month, our mix is over three hours, and includes new features FKA Twigs, Björk, Tyla, Josh Caffe, Shakira, and many more!
Listen to the OMG Playlist above or on Spotify.
