Du du ke #12 - Work From Home
Brakence, Jimmy Lacoste, Jai Paul, Slenderbodies
TMT: Global pandemic aside, we at Du du ke Music Worldwide have decided to make a little playlist to keep you moving while civilization rapidly approaches its fall. I genuinely believe I’ll live forever but I’ve decided to curate a couple of tunes to heighten your short mortal lives.
Timi: I’m timigod so obvs I’m immortal too.
Playlist: Spotify | Apple Music
Getting Talkative - Jimmy Lacoste: Imagine if Elton John was a 6-year-old - TMT
The Difference - Flume, Toro y Moi: I heard this song in an Apple (AirPods Pro) ad. Real recognize real. I’ve played it at least 500 times in past couple of days (it’s barely above 2 minutes long, so yeah). - Timi
fuckboy - Brakence: This is the war cry of a true chaotic good - TMT
Zion Wolf - Jai Paul: This song is almost a decade old. Listen to how it holds up - TMT
WINNER - TMXO: I’ve been waiting for TMXO music for such a long time. This is more than worth the wait. - Timi
Ghosted - Sonny Side Up: The few words said in this song are consistent with its name. It’s actually about ghosting. - Timi
Mountains - The Vision ft Andreya Triana: Please quote me as I say this; soulful, well written, dance music will save us all - TMT
Falls (Gigamesh Remix) - Bayonne, Gigamesh: It’s the beat of songs like this that make go “Na du du ke be that”. It’s mad. I usually have that Jay Z-bopping-head-meme face on. - Timi
Ruminate - Slenderbodies: Soft, intimate and pretty to listen to.TMT
Clumsy Love (St. South Remix) - Thelma Plum, St. South: There aren’t many better-produced songs than this. I also read the lyrics (of the original song) and girl, you better leave that (probably Yoruba) man. - Timi
Gospel For a New Century - Yves Tumor: I can't explain why this is one of my favorite rock singles of last year. It is though. - TMT
Eugene - Arlo Parks: Nothing like falling in love with your best friend and making a song about it and how much you hate their boyfriend. - TMT
Heatwave - MELVV, More Giraffes: - “This heatwave is melting my mind”. I live in Lagos, so I can relate to the core message of this song with my entire being. That being said, it’s also the best pop song I’ve heard in a while. - Timi
Work From Home by Fifth Harmony ft. Ty Dolla Sign would have completed this playlist.
