Every month, our music editor ED curates a special selection of newly released music for the OMG Playlist on Spotify (follow us @omgblog).
OMG, Happy May! This month, we’re really digging the debut album Sour from young and talented Olivia Rodrigo. Sour is a rollercoaster of break-up ballads to get you in your feelings and pop punk bangers to get you right back up. “Good For You” is an instant hit one of our songs of the summer.
We’ve included three of our favorite tracks from Sour in this month’s playlist, but encourage you to dive into the album!
This month, OG Nicki Minaj fans (including us) were overwhelmed and overjoyed with nostalgia when the rapper re-released her 12-year-old mixtape “Beam Me Up Scotty.” The re-release includes an updated galactic version of the album cover and three new tracks. Hearing Nicki spitting it on “Itty Bitty Piggy” sounds just as good (if not better) now as it did in 2009.
When making our playlists, we think it’s important to include handfuls of songs that help you turn the “sidewalk into a runaway.” That’s why one of our favorite releases of May is “Strut” by Big Freedia and Elohim. This song is full of attitude and is bound to make you feel like the main character of any ground you’re walking on.
The playlist doesn’t stop there: We have two hours of catchy tunes for you, including releases from Spelling, Angel Olsen, Cozmic Cat, Jessie Ware, Torres, Slayyyter, ZHU, Marina, Aunty Social and many more!
