(New Music Friday Intro)
Happy First Weekend of 2025! Every one that I know is getting sick so stay inside and listen to New Music Friday – that’s my suggestion at least. We’ve got Bryce Fox, Emmaline, and the dynamic duo – Henrik & GRAHAM and Lil Baby
(Countdown Video)
New Music Friday:
- The last time we heard from Emmaline, she was sitting on Santa’s lap (clip) How do I get me that gig? Oh, we’re back. Hi. We should play her new single of 2025 (clip) That’s called “Wrong Side of Midnight” AND it is the first of 12 songs that we’ll be receiving this year – all of them on the first Friday of every month. (Clip)
- Since Bryce Fox’s “Golden Boy” was my Song of the Year via Spotify (clip) Whenever there’s new Bryce Fox – it’s all highlighted for me. (clip) New song is called “King is Dead” and it features King Green, who is very much alive and can be heard on the song (clip)
- At the beginning of November – last year (whistle – wahoo, Happy New Year), I talked about Henrik teaming up with GRAHAM for an album called Cedarcliff. (“Call My Name”) Today, the boys are still getting along just fine, but they do do their own thing, too. Henrik released a song of his called “You and Your Eyes” (clip) while GRAHAM released his single called “My Medicine” (clip)
- Lil Baby released an album called Wham which makes me think of (Wham clip) but, it’s the single being highlighted that made me think of something else as well (Dumb & Dumber clip) Yeah – that’s from Dumb & Dumber. BUT – hear me out. The song is called “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber” AND it features Future as well as the first verse of Young Thug since his release from jail in the autumn // Sorry – Not kid friendly, but it’ll be on the Spotify playlist! //
- Several quick hits of new music: Back in early 2023 – that’s like nearly 2 years ago (whistle blow) Morgan Wallen released a 36 song album that was nearly 2 hours long. Today, he dropped a surprise song called “Smile” – just one tune // A lot of hype around this new song – “JRJRJR” being released from Jane Remover off the upcoming Revengeseekerz album / bby (show card) actually came out with this EP last week but I didn’t really get to dig into until now (I like it a lot) – I just want next year to be better “Voices in my Head” is the song being pushed (clip)
