Beyoncé has come back with her another concept album on behalf of her "Act" trilogy, a new and surprising style by her artistry, a fusion of the rustic vibe of humble countryside and the spiritual sound of her proud roots.

Nicely, two tracks stand out to me unexpectedly: Dolly Parton's pleasing iconic song turned into a fierce revision "Jolene", and a passionate duet of Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus "II Most Wanted".

--- I like this version little more than its original. I prefer its more mellowness to its previous much pop; they're both good to me anyway.

--- Ed Sheeran's new album is magically pleasant to my first hearing because of his endearing guitar gimmicks as always.

Celebrate still and rediscover the 30th anniversary album from a legendary and highly acclaimed "Hero" singer, Mariah Carey, including unreleased tracks before and her 1993 concert at Proctor's Theatre, NY. An amazing and favorite album to me.

I just find Stephen Sanchez' first ever awaited album enchanting because of certain instruments and a mystical one and a peculiar production/format that I mostly distinguish in 50s–early 60s songs despite of more advanced music technologies typical nowadays (not the old-imitating noise/clipping which I hate why include it?). Nonetheless, let's time travel to the oldies' hops and nifty serenades.

I enjoy first-time listening this album for the first time from Doja Cat 🐈 despite I'd never delved into her discography quite thoroughly. So Impressive.

It's been a year. Still going and playing back again. Never jaded ❤️

Rejoice for a Decade Milestone of Ariana Grande's Album "Yours Truly". 🎉 Nostalgia 🎉

Ariana's coming to town!

My real point is on a heading down to middle.

While I'm having a marathon (and mixed playlist created by me) to Olivia Rodrigo music because of her new song "Vampire", I got instantly attached to Billie Eilish's another new song "What I Was Made For?".

I am very sorry if I misuse to say I felt related to that song. I can't describe why I somewhat like that song I now keep repeating.

Ok, I'm getting an understanding of this song lyrics (It's about reflecting herself and her doings if I'm right). Maybe that's why I felt related to this song. But what I really mean to what I really felt related to this song is as if I finally found a music I'm looking for "right now" to listen right now, regardless whether I felt related to lyrics or not (as in my self don't feel related but I see other people or my closed ones feel too or could be). What I mean is I'm looking for a "current" music that can push my emotions (whether sad/music/angry/whatever) as long as it matches with the present situation I'm experiencing or I'm seeing around. Getting desired emotions from current music compatible to contemporary reality.

I mean that what I see today is what a music should sound I suppose. What's happening right now, whether good or bad is what a current music should play.

I'm not saying I want sad music, especially I don't like sad music because it makes me sad (of course it's sad music). Also, it doesn't mean sad music for this time, as current/upcoming songs can be angry or happy music, just depending on the today's events. I mean new music is what's happening to me or everyone else or everywhere right now.

That's what I mean I felt related to Billie's new song right now, so I keep repeating and included on my current playlists I'm now getting difficult to compile and complete.

Very sorry if it's not right to post this here on popheads (it might be supposed to post on popheads circle jerk or pop culture chat I wish).

I would be about just to cross post mine to lemmy.world.

But I saw a concern:

I like the songs and its vibe/soul when listening Taylor Swift's early albums.

Whether those are country or pop or teen or love songs, I really (and still) get hooked by its melodies & sounds/instruments. Its really awesome lyrics and its story by her still amaze me.

So, her songs has really influenced my musical preference especially when growing up.

I'm still looking for new music/song/album or new/current other music artists with that kind such as hers—

So if you could introduce to me to search, Are there any other "new" music or new/current artists with that kind such as hers (artists likely endorsed by her as I already consider her a great artist)?

It does not really have to be so much similar to her songs (so it can be grunge, ballad or urban). I'm referring to the "vibe/soul/somewhat-acting-as-if-I-musically-feel-that-there's-a-drama-scene-or-personality/sound/something I can't clearly describe sorry" upon the songs that she's singing/playing.

--- --- So to understand what I'm referring to, here are selected current songs I like and still keep playing are:

1. "Until I Found You" by Stephen Sanchez (way mostly among the current ones, I'm single 😉 btw—what I mean is that song is a sentimental love song for rejoicing love couples, and I felt attached even I don't have a girlfriend.)
2. "Here With Me" by d4vd (becoming less frequently)
3. "Spark" by Ed Sheeran (becoming less frequently)
4. "Foolish One" by Taylor Swift
5. "Vampire" by Olive Rodrigo (I'm not sure as I'm getting hooked right now)
6. "Say So" by Doja Cat (becoming less frequently)
7. ... That's it I can fondly recall. I have tried to think from 2020 farther. But that's it I bravely mentioned.

I like the songs and its vibe/soul when listening Taylor Swift's early albums.

Whether those are country or pop or teen or love songs, I really (and still) get hooked by:

1. its simple melodies _{(but not so colorful but at least appreciative)},
2. its simple sounds/instruments _{(but not so magnificent but at least interesting)},
3. and its really awesome lyrics and its story by her.
4. and of course her voice _{(not so astounding nor distinct but at least very good)}

So, her songs has really influenced my musical preference especially when growing up.

So now,

_{despite maybe because I'm already adult or because I'm not well anymore gathering new music},

I'm still looking for new music/song/album or new/current other music artists with that kind such as hers—

—as I hardly create for myself my playlist of current (at least 2020-present) music. Of course, I want a diversity of awesome and beautiful music (rock, alternative, grunge, urban or "RNB" such as Ne-Yo, disco and soft and so more). But I haven't been amazed/hooked by the current music I'm receiving/hearing anywhere today. I have tried to keep listening those from the charts, mainstream playlists or most mentioned artists, yet I haven't been amazed like how I did by Taylor's despite I'm not really a fan of her.

So if you could introduce someone to me to search, Are there any other "new" music or new/current artists with that kind such as hers (artists likely endorsed by her as I already consider her a great artist)?
