BM5's April 2021 Favorites

Favorite Song

ASAP - StayC

The instant I heard the chorus from the teaser, I was so excited! After the video dropped, I had it on loop for days. I wouldn't be surprised if I reached 100 plays of the song itself within the first 24 hours of release. The composition of this song is so perfectly done, I knew this is going to be a song of the year contender. The flute-like motif, the great vocals, addicting rap, and infectious choreography made this my absolute favorite song in a month full of amazing music. Some from my biases, so that's saying something...

Favorite Online Concert

Songs For You - Tinashe

Tinashe is an underrated talent in my opinion. She makes some pretty great music and is able to dance, as well, making her a great performer. This online concert was proof of that with much of the Songs For You album on the setlist, alongside some other popular songs in her discography. Now there may not actually be live vocals, but the untrained eye most likely wouldn't be able to tell. Yet, regardless she puts on a superb show that I can recommend to any fan of contemporary R&B.

Favorite Music Analysis

The Most Elegant Key Change - Adam Neely

I love my music theory videos, especially when they are able to show where it and the average listening experience collide. In this video, Adam Neely breaks down the amazing writing choices in "All by Myself" and how Celine Dion's performance of it touches the listener. It also shows how music's ability to affect people emotionally is powerful, and being able to wield that power is a feat in itself. Videos (and songs) like this always remind why I love music so much.

Favorite Music Video

Night Before the Exam - ATARASHII GAKKO!

I love these girls! At first, I wasn't sure the basis of the song was; I just liked how the words matched with the beat. Then, I finally understood that it was like cramming for a vocabulary test. Ingenious! The Japan Leaders continue to bring their signature style of performance in this one take video with all the charm and energy as expected. They always bring different sounds to the table and concepts that get people familiar with Japanese culture. This is something that I'll always appreciate along with jumping around with every jam they release!
