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

1. Getting Talkative - Jimmy Lacoste: Imagine if Elton John was a 6-year-old - TMT

2. 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

3. fuckboy - Brakence: This is the war cry of a true chaotic good - TMT

4. Zion Wolf - Jai Paul: This song is almost a decade old. Listen to how it holds up - TMT

5. WINNER - TMXO: I’ve been waiting for TMXO music for such a long time. This is more than worth the wait. - Timi

6. Ghosted  - Sonny Side Up: The few words said in this song are consistent with its name. It’s actually about ghosting. - Timi

7. Mountains - The Vision ft Andreya Triana: Please quote me as I say this; soulful, well written, dance music will save us all - TMT

8. 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

9. Ruminate - Slenderbodies: Soft, intimate and pretty to listen to.TMT                                                                                                                                 

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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
