Fresh Music Friday: Sycco, Run the Jewels, Bright Eyes

For this week’s Fresh Music Friday, Shanaya Perera, Gabrielle Pamilar, and Anika Bhatia dish their reactions to a boppin’ drop from Sycco, a Run The Jewels banger, and Bright Eyes’ sudden return.

‘Nicotine’ – Sycco

Shanaya: Very good vibes!!! Reminds me more of a preppy still woozy – 10/10 would die for the bridge.

Gabrielle: Love it, wish someone would sing this to me! This song has such chill and quirky vibes, definitely captures the cute essence of first loves and crushes.

Anika: It’s a really catchy tune- I’m obsessed with her voice, it reminds me of Lily Allen and it’s quite mesmerising.

‘Yankee And The Brave (Ep.4)’ – Run the Jewels

Shanaya: This SLAPS oh my god. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

Gabrielle: Definitely a song I would rave to in a club, but I guess imma just head bang to it alone in my room cause of quarantine.

Anika: It was picking up to something but trying to do too much, particularly the loud background drums that prevent you from really hearing the rap, making it quite chaotic.

‘Persona Non Grata’ – Bright Eyes

Shanaya: Very nostalgic and poetic lyrics amped up by sad bagpipes

Gabrielle: Dang this song hits hard! Great comeback by them, lyrics went straight to the sole and really puts you into the feels.

Anika: The voice is so raw and the hurt can be heard; it’s almost a ballad and lends itself to being belted when you’re sad in your room.
