Every month, Orangewood rounds up the freshest new songs on our playlists. Here are our favorite tracks from July, in no particular order.
"Steam" — Leon Bridges
Leon Bridges just dropped his third album, Gold-Diggers Sound, named for the East Hollywood studio where the album was created. After many repeat album listens, we can’t get “Steam” out of our heads. A silky-smooth groove track, it's the perfect energy to lift you from you chair straight into Friday night.
"Hold U" — Indigo De Souza
Indigo De Souza burst onto the scene in 2018 with her no-skips album, I Love My Mom. The debut album provoked both tears of joy and tears of anger; "Hold U," however, has us out of our seats and bobbing our head. With De Souza's signature falsettos combines with an upbeat track to form a fun summer song we hope to hear on the dance floor.
"Unclean mind" — Grouper
As Grouper, Liz Harris has been consistently creating some of the best ambient folk since 2005. Her typically lush and enveloping sonic landscapes are set aside in favor of a driving acoustic guitar on her latest single, ahead of her upcoming album Shade. Harris' vocals compliment her gentle strumming perfectly on this track, leaving us stunned; "Unclean mind" is a promising harbinger for Grouper's next album.
