We made it to 50 newsletters! Wooooohooooo!!! For the people that have been here since the beginning, thank you. For those that have been here for just one, thank you. I’ve got three tunes that I’ve really been vibing to this week so far. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Let’s get into it!
really miss you - Walker
This one’s simple but hits hard. The LA native, Walker, keeps it bare with gentle vocals over lo-fi production that feels like late-night thoughts spilled into a song. It’s raw, vulnerable, and doesn’t try too hard, which is exactly why it works. Perfect for quiet mornings or 2 AM reflection.
Curious ft. Toro y Moi - Sam Gellaitry
When I saw this song come out, I literally said no way….Sam was one of the early SoundCloud OGs, I’m talking like 2013 era. I found him and have been following him since. Toro on the other hand rose to fame around the same time, a little earlier to be exact and is one of the most visually creative artists. The two of them finally linked up for a sleek groove that’s equal parts funky and futuristic. Gellaitry’s production stays rich and layered while Toro slides in with his effortless vibe. It’s a track that feels just as good on a late-night drive as it does on a packed dance floor.
Plasticine - Madge
I just recently got hip to Madge and I’m so glad I did. She is WILDLY creative and hot. Take a look through her older music videos and you’ll see why. The alt pop princess has been quietly been making waves and I’m honestly surprised she’s not massive. She’s got pop star appeal like no other. This record is my favorite one off her latest EP, Blipper, which released last week. “Plasticine” is jagged, playful, and a little chaotic—but that’s the point. The track throws distorted textures and surreal energy right at you, but underneath it’s got this addictive, hooky pulse.
Quote of the Day
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

One of the greatest to ever do it. Have a watch.
