I\u2019m Paulina Ukrainets, the online content manager for The Sounds of Colorado College, CC\u2019s radio station and music blog. I&#8217;m also an intern with 91.5 KRCC&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/krcc.org\/programs\/915-krcc-air-check\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Air Check<\/a>. Below are some songs I\u2019ve been listening to lately (though they\u2019re not necessarily new), and a little bit about why I like them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sabapivot.com\/\">Saba<\/a> ft. Chance the Rapper \u2013\u2013 LOGOUT<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saba - LOGOUT feat. Chance the Rapper (Official Audio)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3wU3FM7R2Gc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Usually I\u2019m not a big fan of the currently super-prevalent &#8220;trap&#8221; style of hip-hop production, but this song is different in its beautiful amalgamation of piano, sax, synth and the standard trap percussion beat. When I listen to most music (but especially to hip-hop) my attention instantly gravitates to the lyrics, and here they don&#8217;t disappoint: \u201clook at how much fun I\u2019m\u00a0havin&#8217;\/ain\u2019t no beauty in the absence of\u00a0broadcastin\u2019\u00a0to your followers\u201d are just two of Saba\u2019s lines from the ridiculously catchy chorus. This is a hip-hop anthem for the age of Instagram\u2013\u2013the age in which young, up-and-coming artists like Saba can get the recognition they clearly deserve, but at the price of the complete destruction of their privacy in the name of online presence\/promotion. As my professor\u00a0Idris\u00a0Goodwin would say, LOGOUT is pure bars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ingridsuperstar.bandcamp.com\/\">Frankie Cosmos<\/a> \u2013\u2013 Ur Up<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Frankie Cosmos - Ur Up\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l-OHXWFW540?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This song is only 36 seconds long, so I kinda feel like I\u2019m cheating with this one, but it\u2019s full to the brim with the kind of sincerity Frankie Cosmos fans (myself included) adore her for. The lyrics and title of this song refer to a\u00a0meme-esque\u00a0phrase that gets used by teenagers as a sort of shorthand booty call\u2026 or so I\u2019m told. Here, Greta (FC\u2019s lyricist\/frontwoman) mirrors the shorthand\/meme-culture form of the phrase in the song\u2019s brevity, but totally inverts the concept the phrase refers to. It rings honest and sweet, especially in the studio outtake at the beginning. I&#8217;m super grateful for this little Frankie Cosmos-shaped window into their creative process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/honourcouncilband\/\">Honour Council<\/a> \u2013\u2013 Olingo<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"350\" height=\"442\" style=\"position: relative; display: block; width: 350px; height: 442px;\" src=\"\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/v=2\/track=1628278096\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Honour Council are a Colorado Springs band that I\u2019ve been a fan of since their formation, but this is the first recorded song they\u2019ve shared with the world; I\u2019m so excited to expose people to them! I find it hard to pin their sound down to a single word or genre\u2013\u2013some people say they fit into the shoegaze realm, but I say you should just listen. If you like what you hear, come see them play a donation-based Cloud Factory show on May 5that local house venue, The Bump! They\u2019re supporting <a href=\"https:\/\/deadsullivan.bandcamp.com\/\">Dead Sullivan<\/a>, a really awesome indie band from Texas.

Listen to this song, and you\u2019ll hear how the sounds shimmer and reflect off each other.
