Exploring New Music: From Throwback Sounds to Hip-Hop Royalty

Matt and Sam are back with their first new music mix of 2025.  We kick off with some soothing yet powerful tunes from The Bluestones, as Sam shares his admiration for "Come Apart," a track that intertwines hard rock and blues with themes of resilience. Meanwhile, Matt brings a lighter touch with Nikki the Unicorn's "Swipe, Swipe, Swipe," a playful spin on the ups and downs of modern romance. Next, we unpack Mumford and Sons’ fresh single, "Rushmere," and question if a "banjo sommelier" could teach us a thing or two about the instrument. Jason Singer's Michigander project is also in the spotlight, as we praise his engaging songwriting and uplifting track "Breakerbox." Expect relatable themes and a positive outlook that assures you, "everything will be okay eventually."LiAngelo Ball’s unexpected leap from basketball court to rap fame with Def Jam Records is nothing short of intriguing. We discuss how his viral hit might just outshine his brothers' basketball careers, as we shift gears into the hip-hop scene with Logic's "Not a Game," featuring Lucy Rose. Nostalgia sweeps over us as Franz Ferdinand reemerges with "Audacious," and we revisit Deep Blue Something’s "Breakfast at Tiffany's," pondering the nature of one-hit wonders. SZA and Kendrick Lamar’s dynamic chemistry also gets its deserved spotlight, with anticipation for their joint performance on the big stage. Join us for a captivating blend of new discoveries, heartfelt reflections, and a touch of nostalgic charm.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-january-2025-new-music/pl.u-256YeToeMX21.
