Music Monday

Hello!! Dipping my toes into the sonic waters of the continent this week, I’ve brought you all a little Afrobeats playlist! Afrobeats is a catch-all for African pop music, and generally spans the African diaspora with different styles and genres coming from each country and region.

If you’ve listened to the playlists for any of my fics you’ll recognize a lot of these songs! I definitely headcanon the Catan Crew including a lot of Afrobeats in their hang out playlists! TK and Marjan have gone to see at least a few of these artists play when they’ve come through town, and they go to Afrohouse dance parties and do all the dance moves!!!

(Respectfully requesting not to include the entire playlist on the master Music Monday Playlist)

A few tracks I think the crew especially loves below 👇

Wahala is a Nigerian phrase meaning bad luck or problem. This song, while also being a really catchy party tune, would definitely be one they would want on heavy rotation to ward off any bad vibes!! Lord knows they need it!! 1da Banton is one of my favorite artists, his songs are always really really fun and feature frequently on my fic playlists.

This is the breakout song for the Afrobeats genre!! Literally everyone has heard this song! And it absolutely features on Tarlos’s sex playlist! Wizkid is probably the biggest Afrobeats superstar right now, second only to Burna Boy (maybe)! His tunes are all so smooth and sexy I can very easily picture TK turning on some Wizkid when he’s trying to seduce Carlos 🤭

Amapiano is the biggest thing in Afrobeats right now, all the hottest artists and producers and club DJs are dipping their toes in this South African house music, and its queen is Uncle Waffles!! My bestie got to dance with her on stage when she came to town and it was such a proud moment 🥰 ANYWAY!! I headcanon that TK takes Afrobeats dance classes with Carlos’s cousin and they dance to a lot of Uncle Waffles. The style is very distinct with a heavy driving beat that builds through the song, and the dance moves are all super fun!

The godfather of Afrobeats!!! As I wrote in getting past the wounds of love, I headcanon Paul inherited his father’s record collection when he passed, and it included a good amount of classic Afrobeats that his dad inherited from his parents, especially Fela! I think he puts on some Fela when he’s feeling nostalgic or just wants to feel that connection with his dad.

I hope you enjoy!! Please let me know if you listen, and what your favorite songs are!! I will keep updating the playlist over time 💛

Bosq & Kaleta - No Be Today - 12 blasts of Afro-Latin disco from Colombia

After 10 years of globally celebrated but only occasional collaborations, Bosq & Kaleta have their first full length album together. On No Be Today the duo is finally able to stretch out and explore their wide range of influences and musical histories. The album seamlessly melds styles from West Africa & it’s diaspora, Caribbean & South American sounds most prominently, with Disco, Funk, Soul, Hip Hop & House. Live Horn sections mix with a blend of acoustic and electronic drums, Kaleta’s effortlessly funky guitar, Bosq’s layers of keyboards, bass & synthesizers, and heavily layered percussion sections that tug at your waistline. Kaleta’s virtuosic melody writing ties the pieces together with infectious chants and socially conscious lyrics that span Yoruba, French, Goun, Fon & English. Kaleta, having played in the bands of both Juju music great King Sunny Ade & Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, brings the first hand experience and authenticity seldom found in todays West African influenced fusions. Bosq, now on his 6th full length album, brings a 20 year run experimenting with updating vintage sounds in the most tasteful way possible, melding Disco & Funk with styles from around the globe. In that time he’s worked on adding his touch to records by Ray Barretto, Orchestre Poly Rhythmo de Cotonou, Toure Kunda, Poolside, Rawayana & more. The record is an ode to these musical histories, with the title No Be Today coming from a Nigerian saying, which explains that this did not just start and this did not happen by chance, there’s lifetimes of work behind this. It’s also a flag planted for a different way of doing things as technology makes the “perfect” & “clean” sound easier and easier to obtain, with AI art slapped on the front. This record is handmade, full of love and feeling, from the music to the incredible art by Brazilian muralist Amanda Lobos that graces the gatefold vinyl. The statement made by this record is that we should still take our time and delve deeply into projects with our whole soul.  Marco Fajardo - Sax (2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9) Jose Miguel Vega - Trombone (2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9) Leon Pardo - Trumpet (2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9) Andres “Bongie” Giraldo - Timbales (4) FLORENTIN KOUDJOU - Trombone (1, 4) TCHANVOEDOU PARFAIT TADAGBÉ - Trumpet (1, 4) ANICET HOUNDONOUGBO - BARI SAX(1, 4) Erlyn Correa - Bass (1, 2, 3, 10) Yuki Kanesaka - Keys, Synths, Organ (2, 4) Wilton Bravo Tascon “El Towii” - Congas (1, 2, 3, 7) Luis Miguel “Papinm” Guerrero - Marimba (3, 11) Hemmy Shout - Trumpet (10) NOAH DREIBLATT - Tenor & Bari Sax (10) Thank you Josephine Ikudehinbu & Salomon Fassinou OROBIYI MOTUNRAYO ABIODUN - Backing Vocals (2, 10) Daniel Biodun - Backing Vocals (10) HORNS RECORDED AT OZANA TRINITE IN COTONOU, BENIN (1, 4) HORNS RECORD AT MAMBO NEGRO RECORDS, BOGOTA (2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9) All songs mixed & mastered by Caserta

South Korean boy band Tomorrow X Together and Brazilian pop star Anitta presented their new collaboration, “Back for More.”

Additionally, the event featured special appearances by ‘N Sync, Ashanti, Timbaland, and Nelly Furtado.

22 From 2022

It's 2023 already and 2022 seemed to go by in a flash. Take a look back at some of the best albums of 2022. 

Beyoncé- Renaissance 

Beyonce's Renaissance did the unexpected by putting house music back into the American mainstream.  The singer's late gay uncle Johnny was the main inspiration and the album cover's reference to Bianca Jagger's famous horse ride at New York City's Paradise Garage set the tone. The foundation of house music was represented with veterans like Honey Dijon and Green Velvet but the current Afrobeats sound was also present. The album received nine Grammy nominations but longtime fans really want to know if it will win Album of the Year. 

Lizzo- Special 

Lizzo's feel-good mix of disco, R&B, funk and hip-hop was bright and sounded like a yearlong summer.  Cuz I Love You was such a big deal that some people wondered if her fourth album would be just as good. Special was inspired by self-care, sisterhood and relationships. The album was led-by single "About Damn Time" that had Nile Rodgers & Chic written all over it. Lizzo's proud acknowledgement of  '70s and '80s dance music was heard throughout the album that killed any worries about her ability to have another impactful album. 

Steve Lacy-Gemini Rights

Lacy's Gemini Rights is the moment he became mainstream official thanks to his TikTok hit "Bad Habit." But his obvious Prince influence and wicked abilities produced a whole album of singable ditties for the ages. The pliable falsetto, swift guitar, pure lyrics and Rick James-inspired look got Lacy ready for stardom. The brilliance he demonstrated on his 2017 demo grew and hit a critical mass and now there are many more eyes and ears curious about his next output. 

Jazmine Sullivan-Heaux Tales, Mo'Tales: The Deluxe 

Jazmine Sullivan's Heaux Tales was updated with 10 more songs added to the original album. The conceptual EP  about Black women's relationships and sexual autonomy resonated with fans and snared a Grammy for Best R&B album in 2022. The deluxe edition gave more women a chance to tell their tale and Sullivan's fiery but raspy tone expanded space to emote.  Ari Lennox, anderson.paak and H.E.R. are on the original and Issa Rae is a guest on the newer version. 

Danger Mouse and Black Thought's Cheat Codes collaboration sounded like the equivalent of a rap LSD trip. Black Thought's words flowed over funky blues riffs, Western film themes, '60s rock and lazy jazz licks. Guests included Joey Bada$$, Run The Jewels, ASAP Rocky, Raekwon and Michael Kiwanuka. A posthumous contribution from MF DOOM on "Belize" was a surprise made eerie by Danger Mouse's choice of somber horns in the background. 

See the rest of the list.

How to Leverage YouTube Music in 2025 to Go Viral

The music industry has undergone a remarkable transformation, with platforms like YouTube Music leading the charge. As we step into 2025, releasing your music on YouTube Music has become one of the most effective ways for artists to gain global recognition. The platform's vast audience and innovative features make it the perfect stage for aspiring musicians to create viral hits. Whether you're an independent artist or part of a label, understanding how to navigate and utilize YouTube Music's tools can turn your track into a sensation.

This article dives deep into actionable strategies to help you release your music on YouTube Music in 2025 and maximize your chances of going viral.

Understanding What It Means to Go Viral Going viral isn’t just about accumulating millions of views overnight. It’s about creating content that resonates deeply, encouraging shares, comments, and engagement. Viral success on YouTube Music can lead to opportunities like increased streaming revenue, brand partnerships, and even chart-topping hits.

Create Music That Resonates with Your Audience To go viral, your music needs to connect emotionally with listeners.

Tap into Trends Without Losing Authenticity Stay updated on music trends dominating YouTube Music in 2025. Genres like Afrobeats, lo-fi, or experimental pop might be trending, but your unique spin is what sets you apart.

Write Relatable Lyrics Relatability is key. Tracks that explore universal themes like love, heartbreak, or personal growth often perform well. Combine this with a catchy melody, and your track has a higher chance of gaining traction.

Visual Storytelling: The Power of Music Videos In 2025, a great music video can be the difference between a good song and a viral hit.

Invest in High-Quality Production Audiences are drawn to visually appealing content. If budget is a concern, focus on creative storytelling rather than extravagant sets.

Tell a Story Use your video to tell a compelling story. A strong narrative or unique concept can make your video memorable and shareable.

Leverage Shorts YouTube’s Shorts format is an essential tool in 2025 for promoting your music. Tease snippets of your music video or create engaging content using your song as the soundtrack. Shorts are often picked up by algorithms, providing an easy path to virality.

Community Engagement: Building Relationships with Fans Fans play a crucial role in making your music go viral.

Respond to Comments Interacting with your audience creates a sense of connection and loyalty. Reply to comments on your video and show genuine appreciation for their support.

Host Live Sessions Use YouTube’s live streaming feature to perform songs, answer questions, or give behind-the-scenes insights. Fans who feel personally connected to an artist are more likely to share their content.

Encourage User-Generated Content Ask fans to create their own videos using your track. This could be dance challenges, covers, or even meme-worthy content. User-generated content amplifies your reach.

Optimizing for Discovery: Keywords and Metadata Even the best music won’t go viral if people can’t find it. Optimizing your content for YouTube’s algorithm is critical.

Choose the Right Title Your title should be catchy and descriptive. Incorporate keywords like “2025,” “official music video,” or the name of your genre to improve discoverability.

Craft Engaging Descriptions Include relevant details about your song, the story behind it, and links to your social media. Use keywords like “release your music on YouTube Music in 2025” naturally within the description to enhance search rankings.

Tag Wisely Use a mix of specific and broad tags. For example, include your song’s title, genre, mood, and general tags like “new music 2025.”

Collaborations: Multiply Your Reach Partnering with other artists or creators can help your music reach new audiences.

Work with Influencers Influencers on YouTube and social media platforms have dedicated followers who trust their recommendations. Collaborate with them to feature your song in their content.

Team Up with Other Musicians Collaborating with artists in similar or complementary genres can introduce your music to their fanbase, doubling your exposure.

Paid Promotion: A Boost to Virality Strategic use of paid promotion can amplify your reach and give your content the initial push it needs.

Run YouTube Ads YouTube’s ad platform allows you to target specific demographics, locations, and interests. Run ads for your music video or Shorts to attract an audience that’s likely to enjoy your music.

Collaborate on Sponsored Content Work with brands or other creators to feature your music in sponsored content. This provides dual exposure and credibility.

Consistency: Building Momentum Beyond a Single Viral Hit While going viral can provide a massive boost, consistency ensures long-term success.

Regular Uploads Release content consistently, whether it’s new music, behind-the-scenes videos, or live performances. This keeps your audience engaged and builds anticipation for your next release.

Experiment with Formats Don’t limit yourself to one type of content. Explore different formats like lyric videos, acoustic sessions, or vlogs to keep your channel dynamic.

Case Studies: Viral Success on YouTube Music in 2025 To inspire your journey, let’s look at artists who’ve gone viral on YouTube Music in 2025.

The Rise of Indie Artists Artists like Emma Jade broke out with minimal resources by using Shorts creatively. Her dance challenge on YouTube Music gained millions of views, catapulting her career.
