HEAVY Playlist
HEAVY playlist is curated from some emotional tracks that I love, from all over the music spectrum, but definitely including soulful aspects. This curation is still in its early stages. I want to build this one up slowly, as I am inspired and reminded of the best rare heartbreak to healing songs. “Feel free to feel. Feel free to heal.” -@StellarFaerie Follow me on Apple Music to keep up with my latest playlists, which are updated weekly. I will be following back anyone who also curates their own. You can also keep up via Spotify. Be sure to @ me on my socials to let me know what you think!…

MMXX ERA R&B (Playlist)
MMXX ERA R&B is the first playlist I have created for this year, inspired by the new era of r&b resurgence that is taking place. Any of these artists deserve to be mentioned when it comes to modern “R&B” debates, which seems to be coming up often lately in the media. Do not sleep on these gems! If I could afford it, I would already be your favorite smooth DJ, with all the best selections you might not have heard before. Luckily, I am at least able to create my beloved themed mixes, and I am now curating playlists on Apple Music. Follow me there to keep up with my…

Etta Bond – #bad4me, 4U, & Met Him Visuals
There has not been a single Etta Bond that I have not felt to my core, in the smoothest way. Since baring her truths and shedding light to the ongoing discussion about gender roles and the liberation of women through her jam Seen & Never Heard, Etta has been on a wave. Really, she has been dropping gems on us at random since last year, but we now have a few of them, back to back. The soothing #bad4me is the third of the slew of new songs she’s unveiled over the past two months, with stimulating imagery to match. Each is a collaboration with random producers she called for…

FemaLe IntuiTion is sO NeXt LeveL Mix 2
My second Female Intuition Is So Next Level mix is truly special. I played this one a lot over the past weekend and each time, it listed my spirits much higher than they were. In the same mindset of last year, I am featuring art which channels certain highs and lows many women tend to experience in life. It features new/revamped versions of classic, meaningful jams by Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah, Erykah Badu, and Jill Scott, as well as some wonderful new-generation voices I recently came upon. This year, I have come into a deeper realm of understanding of what it is to not only be a woman in this…

I made the Love Maker mix to highlight love and connection during these tense times, and to also channel some heavily sensual vibes.

Let me know what you think and share the LOVE with your people! More MIXES tracklist 1. Fayth Hope – Jasmine Breeze Flower Ecstasy (Dose Mix) 2. RADICAL THE KID – Funk With Me Feat. Ephrem & aywy 3.

FemaLe IntuiTion is sO NeXt LeveL MIX
I wouldn’t be at ease without closing up a wonderful first year of posting on The Frolic with some words about my unique year of growth, and some music! This ending quarter of the holiday season swallowed me up, for a bit. I have a new playlist to hold us over until I get around to updating, after the new year. I have some big ideas to manifest! Distinctive growth occurred within me this year. I feel like I am constantly discovering myself while collecting and creating myself at the same time. So many magical moments strengthened my perception of life and calmed the uncertainty I felt throughout much of…

Etta Bond – #FML & Feels Like Visual
I am so compelled to share this one because I just love it whenever Etta Bond drops random goodies for us through her soundcloud. Each one always seems to match my exact frequency at the time, and she was right on cue adding this one. This calming and beautiful song, Feel My Love, was produced by Chris Loco. It comes weeks after her #COOLNEWURBANTALENT project, which also features his production on the instantly infectious Feels Like. She literally gets better and better, which is admirable because I have been awed by Etta’s lyrical skills and vocals for a while now. This melody is like some sweet echo of the classical…

Etta Bond – #COOLURBANNEWTALENT
This week already sounds amazing. I tend to go from not expecting anything to sudden excitement and anticipation over the creator of today’s musical delivery. In about two years, Etta Bond and producer Raf Riley have given us two gems in the form of their projects the Emergency Room EP and Meds EP. Since the first one was dropped, it is a surprise treat to catch the random songs the singer shares via soundcloud, such as the new EP’s closing track. Feels Like created waves and curiosity when it was shared earlier this year, just days before the decided smoker’s holiday on April twentieth. #COOLURBANTALENT is Etta Bond’s offering of…

Duos
Sonnymoon, Lion Babe, Etta Bond & Raf Riley, and inc. dropped some interesting visuals to accompany their songs last year. There are a few singer/producer combinations popping up out there, but I’m looking forward to hearing new things from these four this year. I’m especially anticipating an official release from Lion Babe, as they’ve only revealed a single junglesque groove thus far. I’ve been a fan of Sonnymoon since I first came upon Golden Age years ago and listened to it every morning while on transit. I’ve decided since then that almost anything by Sonnymoon is the the best music to listen to while traveling, whether on a train, or…
