The city has long been known for its incredible artists and innovative sounds, and this month is no exception! With a slew of new releases dropping and exciting talent making waves, thereโs no better time to dive into the heart and soul of Memphis music.
Al Greenโs Inspiring Twist on a Classic
First up on our playlist is none other than the legendary Al Green with his fresh take on the iconic song โEverybody Hurts.โ Now, we know what you might be thinking: โAl Green covering an R.E.M. classic? Really?โ But trust us on this! His stunning rendition isnโt merely a nostalgia trip; itโs a whole new experience! The good Reverend Green himself expressed his intent behind the song, saying, โI could really feel the heaviness of the song, and I wanted to inject a little touch of hope and light into it.โ And wow, does he deliver! His soulful voice brings a warmth and optimism that truly shines through, making it a compelling listen.
IMAKEMADBEATS Casts a Spell with โMAGICโ
Next on our listen-list is the brilliant producer IMAKEMADBEATS, who just delivered an unforgettable album titled WANDS. Recently, he performed this magical collection live at the Planetarium, and we can only imagine how mesmerizing that must have been! While the entire album is worth a spin, we canโt get enough of the track โMAGIC.โ Think of it as the ultimate soundtrack for zoning out, studying, or perhaps even galactic travel. Itโs smooth and soothing with a flair that only IMAKEMADBEATS can deliver!
Hitkidd Brings Back Crunk with โLookinโ For Ah Trickโ
How about some crunk to shake your bad vibes away? Enter the unstoppable Hitkidd with his latest album Hitkidd For President. With tracks like โLookinโ For Ah Trick,โ heโs not just reminding us that crunk is far from dead; heโs giving it a revival! Teaming up with fierce female rappers like Jucee Froot, La Chat, and the late Gangsta Boo, the energy is infectious! Plus, the sweet sounds of Talibah Safiya feature on โLand of the Free,โ showing off a beautiful outro to round out the album. Itโs nostalgic and fresh all at once!
General Labor Shakes Things Up with โCalculatorโ
If youโre hungry for punk, we have just the thing! General Labor, a duo emerging from Memphisโ rich synth-punk tradition, has blessed us with their new album The Airtight Garage. The lead single โCalculatorโ captures their sound perfectly, merging technology with punk angst. Itโs rebellious, catchy, and just the right amount of chaotic โ everything punk should be!
ISpeakWithAGift and Preauxx Drop โF.T.O.S.โ
Last but certainly not least is the captivating ISpeakWithAGift, who has been consistently dropping bangers for years. His new single, โF.T.O.S.,โ featuring Preauxx, is a deliciously woozy track that leaves you craving more. Itโs got that early A$AP Mob vibe that never gets old, and definitely adds flair to our November rotation!
