PLAYLIST: Distancing Together
What better time to kick off our long awaited Photo Ladies blog than with a playlist!? First off, thanks for stopping by and supporting us. As we all know, one of the great thing that brings us all together and comforts us is music, no matter what else is going on in the world. With 100 founding members, and over 1000 Photo Ladies part of our community, we all have a huge variety of musical tastes, and we plan to showcase them each month through our upcoming playlists. Full playlist below, along with some Photo Lady blurbs behind the choices.
“This album (Mystic Familiar) has been on repeat at my home this year. Very meditative. I was supposed to photograph him at the Metro (Chicago) this April so thought it was a fitting selection. ”
An emotional ride from the mind of BOOTS. - Victoria Sanders @veesanders
Nashville singer-songwriter Tristen released "Can't Walk That Back", a catchy and jangly indie pop tune that's sure to get stuck in your head. - Colette Custin | @colettecustinphoto
The perfect Psych Rock escape for during this shelter in place. - Angela | @itsmissgirlface
“The song aims to make people feel less alone by candidly speaking to mental health, encouraging those who feel trapped inside their own heads to make a change.”
“KOKOROKO are a young 8-piece band from London, inspired by Afrobeat and funk and the blazing UK jazz scene. They released this single in early March, as they were set to make their US debut at SXSW this year. This song is a great introduction to their sound, which includes vocals by their female horn section, led by trumpeter and bandleader Sheila Maurice-Grey.”
How I feel about the world right now. - Stephanie Augello | @sawjello
A lighthearted, dreamy pop song that makes me feel like I’m in a warm, sunny field. - Kate Scott | @kate_scott_photography
I manage Hex Girls, and they're working on wrapping their upcoming album, which is in the mixing and mastering stages. I'm super excited to share new music from them when it's out, but until that's released in July, this is my favorite track off their first album! - Alyssa Leicht | @alyssaleicht
“Charleston, SC-based Contour crafts consistently masterful music, and his recently release EP “Weight” conjures a spooky, melancholy energy that resonates with our uncertain times. “Good Call” is an assuring track full of mindful affirmations and self-love. The groove of this song is perfect for when you’re exploring a new path through your neighborhood on a daily walk or winding down from yet another day of distancing.”
“I felt like this song was really fitting for what some of us are going through right now and even with the the high energy and fun vibe, it definitely touches on some deeper feelings. The line “can’t be 100 if you’re only giving 95” especially stands out because we may all feel a lack of motivation right now, but it’s a reminder to give it your best to feel your best.”
