Music You'd Better Listen To - Soulico feat. Rye Rye

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

MYBLT is one of Aidan's many blogs.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

Soulico feat. Rye Rye - Exotic On The Speaker

Today has been a day of new beginnings for old projects. Fitting that I should first hear this track today.

A goal from last summer is looking more promising than it’s ever looked, and I know I can achieve it this time. I wish I could be less vague, but I don’t want to jinx things any more than I currently am.

The work I’m doing is ready to be launched, which means a ton of progress has been made since last week — a lot of materials hadn’t even been drafted before Thursday!

Now, why does this Soulico track represent that to me?

First, it reminds me of music that I’ve listened to at shisha (hookah) bars in Montreal. Well, most any Middle Eastern music has the same qualities — you know what I’m talking about. But it makes the genre much more relevant and “everyday” listen-able than it ever was to me.

Second, this is the second time I’m hearing of Soulico. A couple of their tracks were posted a few months ago, and they got me excited for the upcoming album. Then this one was sent around the blogs this past weekend, and I just can’t wait to get my hands on the LP.

As Semisonic once said, every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.

(And yes, you did just catch me referencing Semisonic.)
