SZA says she wrote "Good Days" as a mantra for herself after a heavy year of the pandemic, losing friends, and the general mood of the country. “I genuinely lost my mind in quarantine last year,” she added, “I have nothing else but to believe in good days because if not, what? I'm just going to let it spiral out of control? And that's not an option.” It seemed to work for a lot of others as well, the song went platinum in the US, hit No. 1 on Spotify and was her first solo song to reach Top 10 on the Billboard charts.

More birthday music for Nile Rodgers!
'Despite Simz rapping with such clarity on the broken systems she sees around her, ‘Sometimes I May Be Introvert’ is an album rooted in joy; positivity radiates from both the lyrics and production. After a choppy few years – coupled with the constant touring, press and personal turbulence – Simz allowed herself to be happy on this record. “It’s nice to talk about some of the joys of my life as well,” she says.' -- tinyurl.com

The newest song from Snail Mail aka 22-year-old Lindsey Jordan. Her 2nd full length record of the same name is out November 5th
Lindsey Jordan wrote Valentine in 2019 and 2020 and recorded it with help from producer Brad Cook. “I wanted to take as much time as possible with this record to make sure I was happy with every detail before unleashing it unto y’all,” she said in a statement. “Referring to the process as the deepest level of catharsis and therapy I have ever experienced would be a huge understatement. Valentine is my child!”
Snail Mail was LIVE on KEXP in June of 2018: www.youtube.com

Nao turned to in-demand producer D'Mile to help with the track, and he offers a slightly different take on her own signature sound. The track begins with a base of strummed guitar as NAO sets the song's tone with her feathery vocals before the drums kick in. It provides just the right sound as she sets some romantic boundaries throughout the song's three-and-a-half minutes.
