very obsessed with Jawnino, an artist from London. his sound perfectly captures the gritty, grimey and greyness of this babylon town. I read an article the other day that he was obsessed with Grime growing up (BBK, Skepta) and that influence is evident in his music, with influences of cloud rap, experimental and trap peaking their head too.
This year he dropped an album, ‘40‘ and it’s no skips. Songs I’m really enjoying from it are : It‘s Cold Out (Extended Mix) , sentfromheaven, Westfield, Scr33ntim3

I think this guy may be my new favorite artist. Talented as hell. I appreciate when an artist is involved with every step of the music-making process, down to the visuals even. Produced, mixed, mastered and performed all by one person. Huge fan of his production and how it blends elements of WWE entrance theme style rock music, 80s hip hop, obscure samples from the internet, grimy ass drums, R&B, etc. The list goes on. Anytime a new song or album drops I can expect nothing but pure ear candy that scratches that hard to reach itch in my brain. The only other artist that really does that for me is Death Grips but they can be a bit overstimulating and hard to listen to at times I won’t lie. His merch goes hard and his website design is cool as hell too.
He dropped a “Valentine’s Day ‘25 Freestyle” that’s been in constant rotation for me, and I recently treated myself to the Director’s Cut Vinyl of his last release for my birthday. Good shit!

Stumbled upon him doing a show in Brooklyn last year and I have been thoroughly obsessed ever since. Think LCD Soundsystem meets John Grant meets Confidence Man meets Kendall Roy. My top 3 are: You Push, I'll Go, Breezy, Raid! but every single song is a massive bop

a myth dating from the victorian period, these tiny, decorative glass bottles were wept into by those mourning their loved ones. once the tears collected eventually evaporated, this marked the end of their mourning period.
this myth has been debunked by scientists, with others saying that these bottles were in fact used to store perfumes, but i'm very obsessed with this romantic notion and will be sticking to it!

i see solitude as metamorphosis. you need that time in the cocoon to really check in with yourself and the joy of that comes from how you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
sometimes i spend SO much time with myself that i get SO BORED that I HAVE to venture outside of myself. when i say venture, i mean challenging myself in how i self- express which will in turn, nourish my interactions with others when i choose to seek company.
proceeding to create art, but trying new methods. going down youtube rabbit holes of things i am interested in so i can discover new references. cooking a meal without following a recipe and surprising myself. making the space i am in super cosy (candles, snacks on deck, music, blankets) going on long walks and picking up conversations with strangers through shared observations of life around us. watching music festivals/boiler rooms and dancing around my room like a mad man.
once you feel comfortable in being by yourself, you'll be more aware of what you need from your company and when you seek it, you'll be a lot more intentional about it and cherish it even more.

*shines bright light in your face*
But WHY do you like what you like?!
Echoing a sentiment from Tyler, the Creator, where he tweeted for people to expand on what they liked about his songs and delve into the WHY (i.e the bridge, chords, riffs)
Truly believe it’s so so important to be able to articulate why things bring us enjoyment, pleasure and giddiness, because that just makes way for one to obsess/ research and learn more about said thing!
This is basically a gratitude post for PI, I just love blagging about what makes this Little Life of Mine more bearable !!!
