I love the praise you're giving the SOS title track. A lot of people weren't feeling her rapping but for someone we go to for singing, I thought she did it her way and made it work! The book you compared to Atlanta has my interest for sure as I think that show is EASILY top 2 for modern shows.

Since 2020 when it dropped, I like to listen to "One More Year" by Tame Impala as my last song on December 31 and/or my first song on January 1. "Flowers" by AKTHESAVIOR is def still a motivational track I've got in my rotation and of course my favorites from the Metro Boomin album, Drake x 21's album, SAULT's album 11 and Monophonics' album Sage Motel.

I'm currently obsessed with a song called "Uptown" by The Chamber Brothers - specifically the version on the Summer of Soul soundtrack. An awesome bass line is gonna pull me in every time lol. I love his lyrics about just the happenings in Harlem and I'm not from New York but he painted an excellent picture with his lyrics and energy.

I totally agree about SZA’s rapping (and her getting into her pop rock bag for “F2F”)! It felt like she wanted to let us know she can do more than sing and still give it her own distinct sound.

My New Year song of choice has been Solange’s “Binz” for the past three years lol, I make sure it’s the first thing I listen to once the clock hits 12.

I haven’t heard “Uptown” before but I do know The Chamber Brothers song “Time Has Come Today”, I’ll have to check the track out.

Always look forward to reading your comments Paul :)
