I was shocked by how much I enjoyed APESHIT by the Carter, it also helped me discover Formation by Beyonce. I don't really enjoy her other songs but those two are rad.
Not a single piece, but I was pleasantly surprised by Ethel Cain's album Preacher's Daughter. Definitely not the sort of music I usually listen to, so I didn't expect that much despite what I'd heard about it, but I actually ended up quite liking a fair few of the songs (although definitely not all of them).
I like everything, so there are very few genres or styles of music that I don’t expect to ever like at all.
Well raggaeton is one of them…
But man, have you guys listened to DATA by Tainy? It’s actually fucking good.
My main gripe with raggaeton has always been the samey and honestly uninspired production.
I know Bad Bunny had a banger last year, I haven’t listened to the whole album. But I didn’t love the few songs I heard.
But man DATA is awesome. It gives me Dawn FM vibes. It’s dark, very synth-genres inspired, and I do get an OPN vibe from it. Maybe that’s why I loved it tbh.
If you guys haven’t listened to it, give it a try. Specially if you like synth-genres and experimental electronic music, but don’t like raggaeton.
Randomly heard the track "Hollywood Baby" by 100 gecs in a store or restaurant or something. It instantly hooked into my brain and I'm still not sure why.
So so many examples of this.
I'm normally into ndh, industry and electronically, with some metal thrown in. I did however get a good surprise by the following musicians/bands
- Dirty shirt
- Otyken
- Shahram Nazeri
- Sofi Tukker
Basically every episode of Los Espookys.
Also comments on YT have led me to
- Bloodywood
- Hamlet Gonashvili and beautifully crushing Georgian music in general
- Nooran Sisters
- I'm an atheist but this gives me a glimpse of what the faithful might be feeling. Wow, just wow.

Maybe not the last time, but the last time I remember stumbling into a new genre. Mdou Moctor completely blew me away. Nigerian psychedelic rock meets folk and blues in such a unique and beautiful way.
Incredible musicianship, catchy songwriting, really easy to get lost in the music. It’s not something I ever sought out, it was just mentioned in a Reddit thread.
