- Summer - Iced out summer – Ragz Originale
This song recently came out, and its been having me in a chokehold ever since. Something I really like to do while listening to music is driving a car with the volume all the way up. Especially with this song right here.
- Precious memory - Guru's Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1
This entire album reminds me of my childhood. My mom played this record heavily when I was growing up in The Hague.
- Nostalgic - Terry Dexter – Lay me down
When I entered my teenage years, I went to the beach many times during summer. This song always brings me back to a particular night when I biked home from the beach after seeing a sunset while playing this track from my iPod Classic.
- Heartbreak - Elmiene – Golden
This song gives me the chills. I heard it for the first time during Virgil Abloh’s final runway show, which I watched live. It has such a beautiful meaning that will make you reflect on life.
- Lovesong - Cleo Sol – When I'm In Your Arms
Besides the title, the sound of this song already makes you feel like you are being hugged. It came out during Covid, which was a time for me to reconnect with myself and others.
- Party - Stoko – soa matrix
Since Amapiano is finally taking over the rest of the world, I chose this track because it always puts me in a good mood and makes me want to dance.
