#PressPlay | Transcending Sound’s Fall 2019 Playlist
We’re nearing the end of the season, as well as the end of 2019, but I couldn’t let it end without sharing Transcending Sound’s fall playlist!
This has been a cool year for music, especially in terms of art from black & urban music creatives. Truth be told, I’m still catching up on releases from the summer because there has been a lot of music released this year.
Thankfully, much of the music I’ve heard is music that I still vibe to. Also, much of the music is from non-mainstream artists, which makes me even happier because I’m supporting and sharing their work, either through the playlists I release or through social media — Instagram stories are my favorite place to do that these days!
It’s something about this time of year that really encourages me to release a playlist of mostly slow jams…and that hasn’t changed for this year’s fall playlist. This pace is really more important this year: the passing of my grandmother and dad this past summer had me going to every concert and outing possible in order to get my mind off of things, which had me on the run! Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate all of the creatives I got to support over the past three months. I enjoyed every show I attended so far! However, it’s time to slow down a little bit and be okay with the calm, to relax in the reality of thoughtfulness and stillness, and also heal and relish in the memories and legacies of the ancestors that have transitioned on.
Even though this year has been very eventful, good and bad, I’m truly humbled and thankful for the journey it has led me on. So many reminders of self-love, friendships and family ties, and passions, including Transcending Sound, have erupted from this year’s events. In some ways, the songs chosen for this playlist have been on that wavelength.
Once again, thank you for the love and support, and enjoy the calm, R&B vibes of this fall’s playlist! You can enjoy it straight through or on shuffle — either way is fine.
