BP's Song Recommendations (Mega Post)
I've rediscovered and fallen in love with so many beats since my last post. Not to mention I've found new songs that are just simply amazing to listen too. This list will encompass my some of my favorite beats in no particular order. If you frequent The Studio on PS you've probably seen me post their a lot. I've posted a lot of songs that will probably be on this is list. I'll be posting one song per artist so this list isn't too long. If you have some extra time I highly recommend you take a minute and give each song a listen!
PS! Username: Broken Phobias
Track: I Think I'm OKAY by Machine Gun Kelly and YUNGBLOOD
Genre: Hip Hop / Rap
Description: I feel a heavy connection to this song because of it's overall tone and message. However, this is not the reason why I love it so much. MGK manages to make an upbeat song and it feels so good to turn up on the speakers or even in headphones. The song gives you an environment to feel whatever you want. The guitar mixed with Travis Barker's smooth voice really just make your feelings melt and than when MGK comes in again you remember why you're listening in the first place. 10/10 song and its one of my absolute favorites.
Track: Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Genre: Alternative / Indie
Description: This song is a fat throwback to the 90's. Under the Bridge is the most popular RHCP song and when you listen to it you'll release why. Its somber lyrics and lazy tone reminds me a lot of Grunge music except its different. It's not as angry or apathetic, its more streamlined and it has a reason to it. It's a reflection of one's life, its not pissing and moaning about your life like Grunge is. Also who can forget the legendary line:
"I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way…"
Track: Roadside by Rise Against
Genre: Alternative Indie / Punk Rock
Description: This is probably one of my favorite Rise Against songs just because the two singers manage to harmonize so beautifully. When I first heard this song I remember laying done and listening to it on repeat for hours because I was that in love with it. The mixture of guitar and I think Cello is great and is done perfectly.
Track: Adult Swim By Jon Bellion and Tuamie
Genre: Hip Hop / Rap / R&B / Pop
Description: I could've listed at least 10 Jon Bellion songs because of how amazing this dudes music is. I chose Adult Swim because it talks about so much and the beat is so simple. Not to mention Tuamie has like the coolest voice of all time. In this song Jon talks about his music blowing up and him becoming famous. He highlights his younger years and how kids would overdose and how grateful he his that he got lucky and made it out of that place. The song changes tones during every verse and it really highlights how much of a musical Genius Jon Bellion is.
Track: Sponge Bob by Max Wassen
Genre: Rap
Description: If your a 90's baby this song is for you. Max Wassen highlights all the cartoons the were big like Spongebob, Hey Arnold, and Kids Next Door. This song took me back and was a real treat for me. He links together each verse and chorus perfectly and the way he talks about the cartoons encompasses all our feelings while watching them when we were younger. It's really fun song to listen to.
Track: Alien Boy by Oliver Tree
Genre: Alternative / Indie
Description: Some of you may know Oliver Tree as the dude with a bowl cut who appears with the Sketch Comedian Cherdleys. He's so much more than that however. He appears in a song I'll list next that kind of blew up. However, this song, Alien Boy is a really goofy beat that's super catchy. I think this song is gonna be you either love it or you don't type of beat. Here's a snippet of some good lyrics:
"I fell down to Earth from a hundred miles away
And somehow I still make it work
But it's overrated and somehow played out"
Track: When I'm Down by Whethan and Oliver Tree
Genre: Alternative / Indie
Description: This song reminds me a lot of the previously listed Alien Boy except its more unique. Its got a goofy beat and the keyboard adds really adds to that. Oliver Tree again has good lyrics and manages to make the song very catchy. There isn't much to say about this song except:
"Why in the world would you hit me when I'm down"
Track: me & ur ghost by blackbear
Genre: Rap / hip hop
Description: Despite the many popular blackbear beats, this one is probably my favorite. Its a perfect break up song and its got a catchy chorus with a good beat. The verses are great unique in that he moans about how much of a pain it is to get rid of pictures, clothes, etc but never really laments the loss of the girl. He instead laments all time he lost with this girl. It's a really good take and makes it sound great.
Track: Capital Letters by Hailee Steinfeld
Genre: Pop
Description: I remember listening to the first 50 Shades of grey OST and thinking "holy fuck this is great." Well by the time the 3rd and final movie came out I'd figured they'd peaked and there was no way it would be good. This song alone took my opinion and threw it out the window. Hailee's voice is so good and the Chorus is fantastic. The beats are amazing and the song portrays a really dope scene in the movie where they travel the world after getting married. Amazing song and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Pop.
Track: Heaven by Julia Michaels
Genre: Pop
Description: Yet another
banger from the 50 Shades OST. This song definitely isn't for everyone but I thought it was fantastic. Julia Michaels delivers some great lyrics catchy lyrics alongside a slow beat. Maybe don't watch the scene that this song was played on though.
Track: witchblades by Lil Peep and Lil Tracy
Genre: Rap / hip hop
Description: I love a lot of emo and sad boi rap. Witchbaldes is an iconic song by lil peep and possible his second most popular song behind Beamer Boy. The verses on this beat flow together well and its really easy to sing along to. I love Lil Peep and this is my second favorite song by him just because of how easy it is to just yell to. Also the lyric "When I die bury me with all my ice on" is flames, you can't even deny it.
Track: My Flaws Burn Through My Skin Like Demonic Flames From Hell by $uicide Boy$
Genre: hip hop / rap
Description: Another sad boi song that I simply adore. The somber beat mixed with the borderline angry / apathetic lyrics make this song almost perfect. It changes tones quickly and it feels great to listen to. My only issue is that its too damn short. This song should have continued on, I feel like the Boy$ could have done more with it but they left it unfinished and it makes you want more of this style. I guess maybe that's part of the charm of the song. Whenever I finish it I have to listen to another song by the $uicide Boy$ just to quench my thirst.
Track: nightmare by nothing,nowhere.
Genre: hip hop / rap
Description: This song is less sad boi and more pseudo punk in my opinion but I'll label it whatever Google says. nothing,nowhere. is a musician that I think is very underrated and this song alone proves that. It's catchy, the beats good, and really fun to belt out the lyrics too. If your a head bobber than this song is good for you as its very easy to follow along with.
Track: I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin
Genre: Hard Rock
Description: This song literally changed my life and introduced me to rock music when I was 12. I even named myself on PS as a Breaking Benjamin reference. Today, I use this song as a workout song because of the lyrics and guitar. Its quite literally a song that pushes you to keep going and not
bow. I highly recommend this song to anyone into Rock music and if you like this song you should definitely listen to more Breaking Benjamin.
Track: Grilled Cheese by Looney Toons (Elmer Fudd)
Genre: R&B (i think)
Description: Elmer Fudd sounds really good on this beat and its honestly pretty scary. I seriously don't get how the Looney Toons crew came up with this song and than made it sound good. Like this song actually makes you want to slobber on some nice hot grilled cheese. I never in a million years thought Elmer Fudd could pull off a musical career but this song just proves that he has it in him.
