The Tunes of TikTok

Hello boys and girls.

It seemed only a matter of time until I made this post, right? Considering how many times I regularly reference the app as my source for discovering new songs that I love and want to share with you, it seems only fair that I dedicate a whole post to the tunes of TikTok, and share them all in one post!

To be fair, a lot of these songs are ones that I already knew or had listened to before, but a huge reason as to why they got added back onto any of my playlists comes down to how often I was hearing them on TikTok. That said, there’s plenty of songs on this list that I definitely credit to TikTok and TikTok only.

Here you go!

That’s a pretty hefty list, just to give you a rough idea. We all know it’s much longer than that and I’m sure you’re sick of me constantly referencing TikTok as my source for new tunes, but that’s just the way it is unfortunately. I’m not mad.

Have you discovered any new tracks thanks to TikTok? Let me know in the comments!

Songs You Don’t Know But Should Pt. 5

Hello hello and welcome to another post where I assume your day is about to be made for the incredible music I’m sharing below. If you aren’t from around these parts, if you’ve only recently joined us, then you may not be familiar with these posts.

I promise.

I don’t have a superiority complex (we think), I just love sharing music that doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. I love music so much so to the point that I’ve passed the stage of feeling protective over my secret discoveries, and am at the phase where I’m aggressively passionate about shoving all my music discoveries and finds down your throat, but you shall come to accept that in time.

For now, here’s more music that I believe you should really hear.

Wait – NoMBe
I’ll Find You – Lacrae
Baby Blue – King Krule
Anything For You – Chelsea Cutler
Senorita – Eden Prince
If Only – TEEKS
Intro (Santa Barbara) – Box Dreams
Typhoon – Mr Jukes
Black Man In A White World – Michael Kiwanuka
Tin Pan Boy – YUNGBLUD
Locket – Kilo Kish
take care – EDEN
Same Script – Ziggy Ramo
Addicted – The Night Cafe
Telepathy – Christina Aguilera
Solid Gold – Elk Road
Loved By You – Kirby
Father, Father – Jay Prince
Shelter – SACHI
Like Home – JOY.
Human Touch – Betty Who
Afterglow – Wilkinson

Let me know if you gave any of these a listen. I know that’s actually asking quite a bit, but it genuinely makes my day when one of you comments to tell me that you enjoyed a particular song or added some of my suggestions to your own playlist!

Songs You Don’t Know But Should Pt. 4

By all means friends, please, do not hesitate to tell me if you’re getting sick of these posts. I know I’m passionate about sharing my music discoveries, but I can definitely tone it down for the masses if it’s what the people want.

That said, I can’t deny that while I love these posts with all my heart, I definitely turn to them because they are one of the quickest and easiest posts to write. Simply press shuffle on my songs you should probably hear and Bob’s your uncle, playlist made.

Example number 4, as shown below.

I’m Good – Jessica Jade
Human – Svedaliza
U-RITE – THEY
Power – RAT!hammock
Runnin’ – The Pharcyde
Shangri-La – Caitlyn Scarlett
Most Beautiful Ride – Kyo-Ken
I Remember – Ady Suleiman
Ohio – John Batiste
Obsession (25/7) – Vice, Kyle, Jon Bellion
The Last Ones Standing – Tep No
Off My Feet – Pia Mia
Damselfly – Loyle Carner
Shift – Sam Bluer
Do It – Tuxedo
NXT2U – Sammy Johnson
I’m A Fantastic Wreck – Montaigne
Tadow – Masego
Marryuna – Baker Boy
White Iverson – Jackson Breit
501’s – Fortunes

Hopefully you enjoyed some of these songs! This was an especially fun post to write because of how varied the genres were, and how left of centre some of the songs are, which makes them all the better and even greater discoveries.
