Sudan Archives, Addison Rae, Big Thief, and More: This Week’s Exposed Vocals Selects Playlist
At Exposed Vocals, we all have varied tastes when it comes to music. And each week, we’re bringing you a glimpse into the tunes that are currently taking up space in our heads and hearts. From our writers to our editors and contributors, the playlist we curate is a reflection of our collective musical souls.
This week, we’ve got an eclectic mix that runs the gamut from moody indie ballads to energetic hip-hop bangers. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the tracks that have been on heavy rotation for the Exposed Vocals crew.
First up, we have “Bitter Water” by L.A.-based indie darling Lucy May. This haunting track is a masterclass in brooding songwriting, with May’s ethereal vocals floating over a lush backdrop of shimmering guitars and haunting melodies. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after the last note fades away, leaving you craving more.
Next on our playlist is “Rise Up” by Atlanta rapper KD. With its infectious beat and confident flow, this track is a certified anthem for anyone who’s ever had to overcome obstacles to chase their dreams. KD’s raw lyrics and undeniable charisma make this a standout in a sea of cookie-cutter hip-hop tracks, and we can’t get enough of it.
Moving on, we have “Wildflower” by indie-pop sensation Harper Grace. This dreamy tune is a breath of fresh air, with Grace’s angelic vocals soaring over a bed of lush synths and twinkling guitars. It’s the perfect soundtrack for those lazy summer days when all you want to do is lay back and drift away on a cloud of sound.
And let’s not forget about “Bad Reputation” by rising star Elle Johnson. This fiery track is a powerhouse of attitude and swagger, with Johnson’s powerful vocals demanding your attention from the very first note. It’s a bold statement from an artist who’s unapologetically herself, and we’re here for every second of it.
Rounding out our playlist is “Runaway Train” by alt-rock outfit The Blue Violets. This anthemic track is a blast of pure energy, with driving guitars and anthemic choruses that will have you singing along at the top of your lungs. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to roll down the windows and hit the open road, leaving all your worries behind.
So there you have it – our weekly playlist of tracks that are currently setting our hearts on fire here at Exposed Vocals. From indie gems to hip-hop anthems, we’ve got a little something for everyone. So sit back, press play, and let the music wash over you.
