Bastille– Good Grief (Song Sunday #1)

Hello, all! It's been a while since I'd last written this sort of post, but it's returning (for the moment, that is)! As you might have noticed, I'm making a *subtle* change to the format of this series, replacing "Sunday Slow Jams" with the simpler "Song Sunday." Having noticed that my recent music posts weren't …

Charice– The Covers (SSJ #75)

Happy Sunday, everyone! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" will be slightly different, as I'm not sharing any particular song, but a collection of songs from Filipino singer Charice (now known as Jake Zyrus). More specifically, I'll be sharing some of the singer's best covers from the early 2010's, at the height of success. https://youtu.be/6H7zPf431h0 Once …

Lady Gaga– The Cure (SSJ #74)

Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" is Lady Gaga's "The Cure," taken from her recent album Joanne. Granted, it's a year late for discovering this song just now, but better late than never, right? https://youtu.be/vp8VZe5kqEM Considering that I haven't been consistently listening to Lady Gaga's works since Born This Way (2011), it was …

Halcyon (feat. Valentina Franco)– Runaway (SSJ #73)

Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" will be a different one, as it's from a *relatively* unknown artist by the name of Halcyon. With the track called "Runaway," it's an ethereal song which, contrasted with the hard-hitting beats in the chorus, is sure to take you away "like a dragonfly." https://youtu.be/Bc8y51Vu6EA Really, this …

Jesse McCartney– Better With You (SSJ #72)

Happy Sunday, everyone! Been another while, but any case, here's this month's first "Sunday Slow Jam." Also a recent favorite, "Better With You" by Jesse McCartney is that acoustic track that's sure to transport you back to the mid-2000's era. https://youtu.be/r-d5HI-zC3I Having grown up listening to Jesse McCartney, I was pleasantly surprised that he came …

Tom Odell– Another Love (SSJ #71)

Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" is that from British singer-songwriter Tom Odell. Granted, this song, "Another Love," is a relatively-old one, as it came out almost six years ago-- crazy to believe that I just recently discovered it! https://youtu.be/MwpMEbgC7DA I'll be honest and say that, at first, I didn't completely love the …

Doug Armstrong– Waving Through A Window (cover) (SSJ #70)

Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jam" is a cover from the musical Dear Evan Hansen, as covered by Doug Armstrong, a British YouTuber who has a knack for singing, baking, and of course, looking good. 😉 https://youtu.be/ixeHMiRXBmc Now, I had never seen or heard of Dear Evan Hansen before listening to this song, …

Dua Lipa– IDGAF (SSJ #69)

Happy Sunday, bloggers! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" has been a recent obsession for me. From English singer Dua Lipa, "IDGAF" is a wonderful surprise, both musically and visually. https://youtu.be/Mgfe5tIwOj0 What makes this track so catchy is its militaristic drums in contrast with the melancholy licks of the guitar, as they battle between feeling sad …

Loic Nottet– Million Eyes (SSJ #67)

Hello, bloggers! It's been ages since the last "Sunday Slow Jam" (back in November-- wow!), but now it's back! This week, I'm sharing with you my current music obsession, which is "Million Eyes" by Loïc Nottet, a Belgian singer and dancer who had won the Belgium The Voice in 2014. https://youtu.be/68EnJITH-5Q Beginning with soft, echoing …

Christina Perri- Human (SSJ #65)

Happy Sunday, folks! This week's "Sunday Slow Jams" is a "mini-throwback," as I'd like to call it, back to three years ago with the release of American singer-songwriter Christina Perri's "Human." Slow and uplifting, this ballad is very much one of my favorite songs from the artist herself. https://youtu.be/r5yaoMjaAmE Now, I've listened to Perri's other …
