lowkey listens
Summer has left us. As the year progresses and college life intensifies, it's important to find time to relax and calm one's mind. What better way to do so than to listen to music? Here I hope to provide you with some artists or songs that are new to you or that have fallen off of your radar for some time.I'm Mylan Jones,taking over for Christian Hardy,and welcome to a new semester of Lowkey Listens.

MAITRO - HENNESSY
Alright, I will have to say that vaporwave is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. The songs that I listen to tend to sample old school Soul music and twist them into something fresh. MAITRO, an artist from the Netherlands, does that exact thing. On this song "HENNESSY," he samples "Just One Moment Away" by The Manhattan. MAITRO takes bits and pieces of the vocals, slightly changes the pitch, and distributes them among the track. This artist has a history of creating similar works that always catch my attention.
BADBADNOTGOOD - Cashmere
Back again with beautiful, jazzy instrumentation here we have BADBADNOTGOOD with "Cashmere" from its fourth album "TV." Starting off as a jazz band reworking a lot of hip-hop, the band has slowly but surely developed its own sound. The group comes together with beautiful keys, jazzy saxophone, upbeat drums, sexy bass and various other instruments to produce one of its best songs yet.
Makoto Matsushita · September Rain
Here we have a blast from the past from Japan. "September Rain" comes from Makoto Matsushita's 1981 album "First Light." Though I may not know what he is saying, I cannot help but enjoy the smooth vibes and the song's bass is to die for. As a lover of old school R&B and Soul, this kind of thing is right up my alley. If you have similar taste, I'm sure that you will find this appealing.
Mick Jenkins - Communicate (feat. Ravyn Lenae)
Chicago native Mick Jenkins is here with another smooth and groovy track. After releasing multiple projects in recent years, he finally came out with his debut album "The Healing Component." While different from his previous work, Jenkins found his sweet spot in hip-hop, and "Communicate" is a clear example of that. With groovy production from Kaytranada and vocals from Ravyn Lenae, this song explores the disconnect from the rapper and the woman he's in a relationship with. This song is one of my favorites from the album.
