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…

Close Mix (+Download)
Here is something new for the men to play…for the ladies and all lovers. I enjoyed selecting this playlist, which began as a follow-up to Love Maker, but took off to be its own synchronistic vibe. As you might have noticed by now, I am a great fan of slowed down music, especially when it’s stuff from the 90’s. I was sure to include some of my favorite throw-back r&b jams, touched up and remixed, as well as brand new gems which you will definitely thank me for later. All of these dope artists can be found throughout the web, including Soundcloud and Bandcamp. Support them and download this playlist…

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…

Lion Babe – Jungle Lady Visual
After two teasing years, the first official Lion Babe EP has arrived, and it delivers a refreshing helping of new school funk music. The only disappointing thing about this project is that it leaves you wanting more. I think this very special duo picked a fitting time of the year to officially introduce themselves to the world, with all of the other amazing music that is being released lately, from D’Angelo’s Black Messiah to J.Cole’s recent release. The self-titled project includes the future classic (I feel), Treat Me Like Fire, as well as other favorites I have featured previously, Jump Hi featuring Childish Gambino and Intro. With the five track…

Lion Babe – INTRO
I am basking in this recent helping of Lion Babe. The duo just released a new teaser video called Intro to promote their EP. It sounds like it could be the opening track if not just a tease. We’ll be finding out more soon enough. The visual features the stunning front lady, Jillian Hervey, twirling and crawling about while enchanting us with her voice yet again. The production is something story-like in this one. We are show more of Lucas Goodman’s style. They are still a bit mystery and it is nice to see a bit of the vision their creating revealed. Hopefully all of the songs to be released…

Lion Babe Feat. Childish Gambino – Jump Hi
Lion Babe is finally back to ease the wonder of their growing group of listeners. Since they released Treat Me Like Fire (featured in a previous post here) over a year ago, we haven’t heard any other music from them, leaving most of us questioning when we will hear a project. Earlier today, the group debuted their motivational new single Jump Hi featuring Childish Gambino via BBC’s Radio 1. This one is another one to have me shaking my hips before and dureing my adventures into the night! I tuned in to catch the interview where Jillian Hervey and Astro Raw both explained what they’ve been working on as far…

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…
