With only one week till March, Spring is just around the corner, and we cannot wait! Music kept our spirits high over the weekend as we endured Storm Eunice and Franklin, and there are a few tracks we will be keeping on repeat to boost our moods during the last week of February. If you are also in need of something to brighten your day and keep you motivated, the following 6 tracks are bound to do so!
Tinashe – ‘Naturally’
Bringing her wildest visions to life, Tinashe becomes a crazy cowgirl who will stop at nothing to win her bloody valentine’s heart. The track itself is bursting with groove and funk, creating an uplifting sound that has us feeling ready for sunny days.
Mahalia – ‘Letter To Ur Ex’
Voicing our relationship struggles this week is Mahalia, with a relatable retrospective song that reminds us that difficulties involving exes are a shared experience. Although lyrically the track touches on a sad topic, sonically you are left feeling elevated due to the enchanting hip-hop production.
Alicia Keys, Fivio Foreign, and Kanye West – ‘City of Gods’
Kanye has hit headlines for a multitude of reasons in the past few weeks, but for us, this track is the highlight of all of his latest innings with the press. Bringing a sound reminiscent to early 2010s rap, ‘City of Gods’ blends Alicia’s powerhouse vocals and piano ballad style with an infectious Hip-Hop beat and hard-hitting verses courtesy of Fivio Foreign and Kanye West.
Stefflon Don – Like That
We can always rely on Stefflon Don to bring the heat, and ‘Like That’ is no exception. Declaring that self-love is at the forefront of Steff’s mind, she sings “I ain’t met nobody hard as me”. This is the energy we will be channelling into spring 2022!
MORGAN – You’re Worth It
In this affirmation anthem, MORGAN has us reflecting on our self worth whilst bringing a tropical beat to life. The video further champions the song’s message, with a diverse cast presented in vulnerable states at the start of the video, in contrast to the end where they are dancing and feeling more confident after realising they are worth it. With every listen, we take something positive away from this song.
RoRo – Ladies
When you blend empowering lyrics with an infectious groove and intriguing production, you can’t help but feel your mood improve as you listen to the results. ‘Ladies’ by Roro does just this and has us feeling ready to take on whatever life throws at us!
