Al Bowlly
has been dead
for 80 years
but he just
dropped a new EP
called Only Forever.
With four
of the six songs
featuring Jim Mesene
(who passed
in the 60s)
the tracks take us back
to the early 1940s
for a 20 minute
breath of fresh air.
I could listen
to Al Bowlly all day.
Sometimes I do.
Every year, it’s always so difficult to narrow it to 50.
Too much good music to truly narrow it down to 50. I tried.
Not only an anthology but Nicodxmvs’ first Spotify release.
A headphone-friendly new mix of hip-hop, phonk, bass, trap, and more.
Too much music! Never enough music!
bass-knocking cinematic instrumentals
An instrumental journey for your eardrums.
Vulnerable melancholy at its finest.
an EP and an LP from one of the greats
A new rap mix with an excessive amount of bass.
So much music this year. I barely scratched the surface.
