Intro
Hello all! My name is Alex and you are with the first edition of the MelodicMind newsletter. This is the first issue so you can expect a few things to change in the future until we get things in their right places.
This is a newsletter not only about music, but about all the beautiful things that are around us. Let me show you what I mean!
On repeat
In the last two weeks Ukrainian singer Oksana Maslo is my most listened artist (Spotify). I especially like the son Зима (Winter) with Stradivalli. It’s a great blend between folklore and electronic music.
Read the music
I digest an amazing amount of articles for my other newsletter and sometimes I find amazing music related pieces. Today I want to bring you back… back into time… When I was 5 and hip hop was… well, better. Polygraph reminds us what hip hop's Billboard Top 10 sounded like, back In 1995
See the music
For the first issue I want to show you a video that I always loved. Chicane’s Poppiholla shows us a hooded man who is suspicious and people look at him with dislike and fear. What happens at the end, however, invites us to see how wrong our perceptions can be sometimes. Great song, great video, one of my all time favorites.
Nostalgia
The songs of the 90’s are bringing back the best memories from my childhood and early teenage years. Still I sometimes forget them and when I suddenly hear them again it’s like a feelings explosion.
Song quote
“They say good things come to those who wait, so imma be at least an hour late.” ~ Kanye West
What you can expect in the future issues?
We will add some playlists, charts and mixes in the future, so stay tuned.
The idea is to send this newsletter every other Friday after the day it reaches 200 subscribers. So please feel free to subscribe and forward this issue to your friends.
Until we meet again.
Alex
