SoundCloud Repost Tracks
Whether you are in need of a new playlist or just finding new tracks to add to yours, these songs are ones to check out. SoundCloud offers a wide array of music from a piece of upbeat trap music to a slow song reminding you of the ‘90s. Below are a bunch of them to listen to.
Ride by Sour Janes
The ride is a piece of Country-styled, hippie music from the best of Berlin, Sour Janes. When we transition through the darker, wintertime, this alt-rock journey is just the soundtrack for seasonal depression. Sour Janes’ west hued debut single Ride is a smooth, surreal voyage. The track appears from both musicians at a time when things weren’t quite so good. You might say that it is the ideal track for the 2020 winters of dissatisfaction.
The song starts off with instrumentals giving off the disco vibes from the past. If you are a fan of Sugar Candy Mountain, King Gizzard, or The Lizard Wizard, then this kind of track is perfect for you. The ride would be that music reminding you of late afternoon drives on the way to the beach with a convertible car. It offers a series of slow beats partnered with the complementary, relaxing vocals of the artist.
This Situation…? by Giulia Grosskop
This song features lengthy and flowing melodies drowned in cassette hisses. It additionally evokes qualities of folk predecessors such as Julie Byrne as well as the melody pop room of Coma Theatre. It is just an initial glimpse of what is about to follow from the likes of Giulia Grosskop. Notably, those who appreciate the works of Julie Byrne, Elvis Depressedly, or Emily Yacina need to hear this underrated work of Grosskop.
The track opens with several keys from the piano complemented by the timid voice of the singer. This Situation…? is a song that should be played on rainy days when you just want to spend the whole time suffering a non-existent heartbreak. Giulia Grosskop did a wonderful job expressing the bitterness and acceptance of one in this track of hers.
Call on Me by K-Si Yang
Another notable song, Call on Me by K-Si Yang, is a modern R&B created in Miami. It offers light instrumentals and a soft bass neatly arranged to please the listeners’ ears. It is further complemented by the nonchalant voice of K-Si Yang. If you vibe with the songs of The Weeknd, Sángo, and Phabo, then you will most probably love to hear Call on Me.
Released in November of this year, the track is definitely a masterpiece. This one is perfect on leisure nights when everyone’s schedules are not hectic. Call on me emits an easy aura that could render one to loosen up and de-stress. So, whenever you are on those days where you just want to grab a drink and call it a day, remember to hit play.
Lose Sight by Jerré and Ella Mae
On another note, Lose Sight is a track created with the collaboration of Jerré and Ella Mae. It boasts Ella’s vocals that have also been recognized both by Brownswood and Banoffee Pies labels. Of course, we also cannot ignore the dynamic flow of Jerré showcased in his rap and vocals as well, which go well with Ella’s.
Aside from that, one noteworthy thing about this track is how it opens with a slow melody followed by a soft drop of the beat. This smooth transition from the opening instrumentals to Ella Mae’s sultry voice and Jerré’s laid-back vibe stands out. Those who tune in to the released tracks and albums of singers like Fatima, Dwele, and A Tribe Called Quest might want to check the works of these two emerging artists.
No Me Verás Caer by Z.A.M.P.A.
Last but definitely not least, No Me Verás showcases serene organ techno by the superb Vaarios Artistas label from Mexico. It is steady, beautiful, and disturbing at all at the same time. It is your kind of soundtrack that demands full focus as soon as it drifts through your headsets.
Likewise, No Me Verás is recommended for music lovers who love the songs of Nosaj Thing, Lusine, or Múm. This soundtrack has a dramatic, cunning, and unpredictable aura to it. It may be that or perhaps it’s the Spanish Language that makes you want to play it over and over again.
