October Playlist - Part trois.

So I'd planned to have another part that preceded this one but I got caught up reading about Zola and Jess and Jarrett and Z. Not sorry.

So here we go:

  • Hold Up, Wait a Minute by Zhu - I can't quite figure this group/artist/whoever out but they have catchy as HELL songs. This funky groove is one of the catchiest. I love it.
  • Paint It, Black by Ciara - I'm a sucker for The Rolling Stones and I'm a real sucker for female covers of Stones songs. The beginning of this sounds like Ciara's attempt at getting on the second 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack. The end of the song REALLY sounds like it...
  • On My Mind by Ellie Goulding - When drunk guys at a bar sing this (even though they got the lyrics wrong) in your face for the better part of two hours after a football game, you know it's a hit. This response to Ed Sheeran's song about her is a banger and one of my favorite songs in recent memory. It's on all of my playlists recently.
  • Drip Drop by the Empire Cast - I don't watch Empire but this song is so damn catchy. Empire, from what I can tell, is Glee for hip hop but with original songs. This Yazz guy is a good rapper. I'm super impressed. I love this song. I dare you to listen to it and not break it down. You can't.
  • Daffodils by Mark Ronson - I heard this in a store in the mall, like Gap or Banana Republic or some shoe store, I can't remember but it sounds like it should be on the soundtrack of American Hustle or something cooler than American Hustle but with the same level of cool costumes. It makes me think of the 70s and London and right now and it's just such a TUNE. Also- no idea what they are saying... it's fine. It doesn't matter.
  • 679 by William Singe - I debated including the original version of this song but y'all know it's straight fire and I don't need to tell you so I'll expose you to this version in case you need to learn the lyrics at a slower pace. 
  • Perfect by One Direction - Y'all thought you were going to get three parts to a playlist with ZERO One Direction songs? You're clearly new around here. This song is a pretty chill and clearly a tongue-in-cheek dig at Taylor Swift. It's perfect. Roll your windows down while you still can and bop your head to this tune when you're driving. You're welcome.
  • Me, Myself & I by G-Eazy - Young Gerald is bae. I'm stoked about his new album. This is great, chill rap song. I don't have a ton to say about it.
  • American Money by BORNS - This is potentially my favorite song of the year. It's chill but creepy and it has some amazing lyrics. "Take me to the paradise in your eyes, green like American Money. You taste just right, sweet like Tennessee Honey..." So good. 
  • Motley Crue by They. - I have no idea who this group/artist/whoever is/are but this song is interesting. I'm a fan. It's kind of a rap song, kind of not. But it has a great beat and it's mellow enough you can listen to it basically any time.
  • Sorry by Justin Bieber - I'm so mad at how much I like this song. Like, I can't turn it off. It's  F I R E. Between Where Are You Now, What Do You Mean and Sorry, I can't think of a better trio of comeback singles. It's obvious the Biebz is serious about this image change because he has great music to release and he wants people to take it seriously. MAINSTREAM SONG OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE FOR SUREEEE. 
  • Drag Me Down (Big Payno X AFTERHRS Remix) by One Direction - A fire One Direction remixed with a hip hip feel and adding a rapper? Yeah, you have my mothereffing attention. This is my jam. Y'all needed to be exposed to it. You are welcome. 
  • All My Friends by Snakehips feat. Tinashe and Chance the Rapper - This kind of has the same feel as Here by Alessia Cara but kind of more confusing and depressing. But the chorus is what every drunk girl wants to yell at the top of her lungs at around 2 am every single night she's ever gone out with any of her friends...
  • Zutter by G Dragon and T.O.P - I'm including this K-Pop/fire rap kind of thing until y'all buy into it so I have people to talk to about it. Without knowing what they're saying, it's a sick beat and good rapping. I don't know what they're rapping about but I understand rhythm and they have it like whoa. (Also, I found what they're rapping about and it makes it about 1,00% better. The video is so weird but they have some amazing clothes and it's kind of funny and apparently full of Korean celebs? so that's awesome. Apparently G Dragon is Korea's Drake X Harry Styles X Kanye West super star. I'm bought in.)

So there it is. Enjoy the final part of the October playlist. I'd suggest using it for you Halloweekend pregame. Just saying.
