Several Optimist staff writers have decided to come together and pick their favorite songs each week based on recent releases, personal feelings and general overall enjoyment.
Week of April 9:
Calvin – My song of the week is “Teenage Blue” by Dreamgirl. This song has great vocals that create a deep and dreamy atmospheric sound. The guitar accompaniment and slow tempo just add to how fantastic the song is as a whole. I really enjoy this song and feel that it’s the perfect addition to any playlist.
Will – My song of the week this week is FACE by BROCKHAMPTON. This is a bit of a reversal from the usual BH feel as it is super mellow and quiet. They played the song live for the first time in their “I love my Parents Tour.” I went with a friend of mine; we both agreed it was was one of our favorite songs from the show.
Seth – My song of the week is “Fool in the Rain” by Led Zeppelin. A six minute melodic vibration, this Zeppelin song has a unique feel compared to their other works.
Ethan – My song of the week is “Like a Maverick” by Ugly God. The beat on this song is super nice and has a chill vibe to it but is also easy to bang out to. The lyrics are somewhat repetitive but, nonetheless, Ugly God lays down some bars on this solid track.
