All The Songs We've Had On Nonstop This Month: Summer Walker, Little Simz & Sigrid
Tracks perfect for cuffing season.
As January comes to a close, we’re taking a look at the music we’ve been listening to nonstop. This month was filled with a slew of heavy hitters from female artists in pop, R&B and rap. If you think 2018 was a banner year for women in music, this year is gearing up to be even bigger. Our latest roundup sheds light on emerging artists like Mabel and cult favorites including Lion Babe.
Summer Walker graced us with the release of her newest project CLEAR, which features four blissful tracks, one being our favorite, “Wasted.” If you’re more into hip-hop, look to Dreezy‘s latest release titled Big Dreez. This compilation is packed with relaxed songs like “Ecstasy” and a few other energetic cuts. We’ve also got our eyes on Coi Leray‘s banger “Did It” from her newest EP EC2.
