Hi Everyone!
Welcome to week 22 of Four Track Friday. I'm happy to be back for my third week of hosting! I discovered some songs with awesome vocals I thought were worth sharing so I asked Michael if I could host this week and luckily our Supreme Leader of Music said yes! So let's get into the music!
Yasmeen Al-Mazeedi (YAS) is an incredibly talented violinist and vocalist and she showcases both of her skills in "Empty Crown." She blends pop with classical violin to near perfection and I haven't been able to get enough of this song. The one thing I know after listening is I need to listen to more of her music and I can't wait for her future releases.
I can't get enough of Emilia Ali in this song. Her voice is mesmerizing throughout, especially as it fades out right before the drop. The first time I gave this song a real listen was on my recent flight from Saint Louis back to D.C. and I'm pretty sure I played it about 10 times on the flight.
I hadn't listened to any noll before I heard this song but that quickly changed. His music is so appealing because it's so raw and relatable. In "nothing will last" he tells the story of creeping self-doubt following the unraveling of a previously strong relationship. Paring an immersive track with introspective lyrics makes for a highly enjoyable listening experience.
So as you can guess by the previous line, I'm having a really hard time putting my finger on how to describe this song. I know I really really like it but words are escaping me but that is the beauty of music. It makes us feel ways we can't describe.
As soon as I heard this song, I knew it needed to be featured in a Four Track. The combination of melody, the bass, the groove is just right and I hope you all agree.
As always, this week’s tracks are added to the collectors for all weeks' tracks, also on Spotify and Apple Music.
Of course, don’t forget to reply with what you liked, didn’t like, and what you’ve been listening to.
Cheers,
Joseph
