Yung Lean ft. FKA twigs- Bliss
Every month I listen to the majority of bands/singers/musicians/artists who are playing in Los Angeles and select some for the playlist. It includes a variety of genres and mostly the most current work by the artist.
This month’s playlist includes the song above by Swedish rapper Yung Lean and FKA twigs. The song samples the 1987 song by Russian band Alyans (Альянс), На заре.
Lady Wray- Under the Sun

Wolf Alice- How Can I Make It Okay
One of my favorite songs of 2021, off Wolf Alice’s album Blue Weekend.
While 2021 certainly had improvements over 2020, the pandemic continued, and many songs in this year’s selections reflect aspects of that. Depression, loneliness, alienation, frustration and escape come up often. But some songs included also celebrate life and being hopeful about the future. There are, of course, songs about love and relationships too. Although a few songs on the list are very popular, many of the songs chosen are a little less mainstream.
Once again looking forward to a new year, new music, and hopefully a return to normal for 2022!
