MONTHLY MIXTAPE: APRIL 2024
BY BRENESSA ROACH | APRIL 30, 2024
Happy last day of April! This month, we listened to a lot of releases from late March and also releases from the end of April. It was such a good music month and we are here to share our top 18 most played songs for April 2024. Hope you find a new song or artist through this blog.
Let’s get started…
Release Date: December 1st, 2023
I found this song during the beginning of March while looking through South Asian playlists for artists to feature. I fell in love with this song because of the sweet melody and Anuv’s vocals. Although, I am not sure what he is singing, I think the language is beautiful with this style of song. As well, “Husn” means “beauty” in English so, I think the overall song is fitting for the title as well. Definitely had this song on repeat throughout March and April.

As a fan and friend of Eric’s since 2022, I was so excited for this release. “Red Flags” is the last track on his EP Red Flags which came out on March 22nd. This song is in collaboration with kaiyel who Eric often collaborates with. I absolutely love the vibe of this song and how kaiyel and Eric’s voices mesh well together.

ILLIT is a South Korean girl group formed on the TV show R U Next?. They debuted on March 25th with their debut EP SUPER REAL ME which consists of 4 songs. “Magnetic” is the second song on the EP and has garnered over 133 million streams. This song is so so catchy and I definitely cannot wait to hear more of ILLIT’s music in the future.

I started listening to Henry at the beginning of this year after having his song “drunk text” on replay. His music is in the pop genre and it always has such a notalgic feel to it. I loved this song because of how catchy it was. Definitely have become a fan of Henry and cannot wait to hear more of his music.

This song was stuck in my head so much all throughout April. “Trust Me” is so catchy and since Gisselle writes for K-Pop songs, this song definitely had that K-Pop vibe. 100% this song needs more streams because it’s so catchy and I think Gisselle’s style is so cool.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER is a South Korean boy group I have loved since their debut. I don’t necessarily stan, but I will always listen to their comebacks and this song in particular was a HIT. It’s so catchy and reminds me a lot of their debut songs – which were some of my favourite, but a more mature version. I love the rock ish vibe in this song and I also love the cover art. “Miracle” is track 4 on their album *minisode 3: TOMORROW.*

“Sunshine” is such a catchy song and with the release of Riccy’s EP Spotless Mind, I was really excited to hear this song. I only started listening to Riccy in February, but his music is so good and I had the opportunity to see him live this month as well in LA so, I’m very excited to hear what else he will release in the near future.

SAJE debuted this month with the song “what we could have been.”. I came across them on TikTok since Jessie Cabrera who is part of SAJE is my friend, it showed up in my recommended on TikTok. I absolutely love the indie-pop/rock genre so I knew this song would be one of my favourites – and it was. The lyrics and the overall tone of the song is so pretty and puts you in your feels. As well, If you like wave to earth or PRYVT, then I definitely recommend SAJE.

CUBE is an artist I discovered during the middle of April I believe in a Canadian Spotify playlist. Once I heard this song and saw it was with pH-1 I was shocked. I went to listen to the rest of this EP Faces and it was truly a no-skip. CUBE is so talented and so underrated so, I hope he gains a lot more listeners soon. He has a very diverse style, each song is a different genre or mixes genres. Cannot wait to hear what else CUBE has in store for the future.

I went through a Hozier phase back in 2015 ish when I was in high school. After high school, I casually listened to him here and there, but with the release of “Too Sweet”, I re-entered my Hozier phase. This song is so catchy and reminded me how much I do appreciate Indie-Folk/Country music. I love the vocal octave switch (not sure of the proper vocal technique) during the word “neat” in “I’ll take my whiskey neat” during the chorus – so catchy.

You should know by now that I am a huge fan of brb. and this song is exactly what I needed. It has been a few months since brb. released and I missed them. This song is so beautiful and catchy. I also love the cover art. This song made me have post concert depression again because I miss brb. and cannot wait to see them hopefully again in the near future.

I heard of this song through ditch david who produced this song. I love BORAN’s voice so much and this song was so peaceful to listen to. Love the production of the song, as I do for every ditch david song. This song is her debut song so, I am looking forward to hearing more of her music in the near future.

RUSSELL! is an artist I have been listening to for about 5 years now and I love his musical style which is R&B infused with other genres. This song is so catchy and it was my favourite one on his EP LADY which released on April 12th too. I would love to see this song live.

I only started listening to The Poles this year, sadly I am so late to the game, but I didn’t realize it was Daniel from wave to earth’s other band. Anyways, I absolutely love the vibes of The Poles and “Cares” was on repeat since the song came out in March. I featured it this month since The Poles released their EP Anomalies in the oddity space. My other favourite song on the EP is “Stargazing”.

I love 4BOUT so much and this song is so good. I love the song title first of all and secondly, I just love the overall vibe of the song. 4BOUT is super talented, he has played around with a lot of genres and I think he’s able to make good songs in every genre so far. Cannot wait to hear more of his music for this year and I really hope I can see him live one day!

BE’O is another artist I absolutely love! The whole album is a no-skip, but this was my favourite song on his EP Affection. I love that he collaborated with Bang Yedam (방예담), I think his voice adds more flavour to the song.
