Let’s Get Fruity

Artist & Song

Jack Johnson “Banana Pancakes”

A great groove to start your weekend a day early. A bit nonsensical, but isn’t that why we love it? It’s definitely a sit-on-the-beach, road-tripping vibe.


Grouplove “Raspberry”

If you’re not familiar with Grouplove, this probably isn’t the best one to start with. Great album, to be sure, but start out slow. They’re an acquired taste, but once you’re hooked, there’s no going back. This track is their own brand of groovy that makes you want to throw on some tie-dye and just, well, groove.


Alexi Murdoch “Orange Sky”

Over 6 minutes long, and yet still not enough. If you’re wanting that I-need-to-be-sad-for-a-while feeling, Alexi has you covered. Great tune!


Led Zeppelin “Tangerine”

It’s Zeppelin. For most of the world, that’s enough. For the uninitiated, the 1970’s weren’t as bad as today’s oldie stations would have you believe. Check it out. 


Harry Styles “Kiwi”

To be perfectly honest, this is the only track on Harry’s solo album that doesn’t make me want to stick an ice pick in my ears. It feels like he’s screaming rather than singing. That said, it’s not a lot of people’s... style (bad, I know). So don’t feel bad if you’re not digging it.


Jessie Reyez “Apple Juice”

First time hearing this. Not really impressed with Jessie’s voice or style. I honestly could not get through the whole thing. But you make your own judgement.


Shawn Wasabi, SATICA “Mango Love”

Do not, under any circumstances, allow children to learn these lyrics. That’s all I’m gonna say.


Benny Sings “Passionfruit”

If you’ve ever heard someone sing while plugging their nose, this is spot on. Relatively decent composition. All right background. Not a personal favorite.


Girl Band “Pears For Lunch”

Umm... This list just keeps nosediving. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. There’s no actual singing! It’s just talking weird.


Miguel “Pineapple Skies”

Nice intro, and someone who can actually sing! Thank you, Miguel, for saving the end of this list! Not going to be everyone’s cuppa, but I’m sure this track will find a home in many playlists.
