I’m looking for contemporary music with soul. It just feels like everything is so surface level and over-processed. I’ve never been great at following or finding #music, perhaps why I encounter a lot of glossy stuff. I welcome your thoughts and recommendations! - ThreadSky

I don't know if Lorena McKennitt is "contemporary" music. I more am following on post you did about card reading. This is a very beautiful song. You could also check out Lana Del Rey.

I was recently told about this group on Spotify! Looking forward to going through all the tracks to find elevating music that fits my needs for spirituality and things. Not sure if this is what you’re looking for exactly but I have tons more music too!! https://open.spotify.com/artist/1bL7zNdRZRQtgMnMpsCh0K?si=7Smq4vN3RVynyf5neOwMxw

Familiar with Leonard Cohen?

laurainspirit.bsky.social•23 days ago

Not much beyond Hallelujah!

That could be the title of something. 😅

Chris' Jazz Club is a venue in Philly. They have quite the YouTube channel as well. Thousands of videos. Everybody in the modern jazz scene swings by there and plays. They livestream the gigs nightly too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msH5JhMWjDM

I watch a lot of indie musicians live stream on Twitch. One of my favs is a guy called Matty Twigg. 2-3 times a yr he brings music streamers together to collab. Pairs them off to write or cover songs. Each collab has a diff theme. Here's the collab website. https://www.collabamajig.org/projects/

I’m obsessed with Lola Young. I discovered her last summer and played her album “This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway” nonstop. Still obsessed.

laurainspirit.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thanks, I will check this album out!

I recently discovered Myriam Gendron. Soulful, but also a bit melancholy.

Melancholy is welcome. Thanks for the recommendation!

I’ve been stuck in soul music for the last couple years, Motown and blues have been in my life a long time. Looking at it from the perspective of history, that music is deep, deep. There’s a lot to learn there still.

Try searching on Bandcamp. You can search by tag or genre. I’ve found so much great music on there, and if you buy anything your money goes straight to the band or artist. It’s my go-to site for finding good original music.

laurainspirit.bsky.social•24 days ago

Oh cool! Thank you!

badartbeatnik.bsky.social•24 days ago

You’re welcome! I hope you find something you like.
