Spring is right around the corner, and St. Louis artists are here to provide you with new tunes for your spring cleaning playlists. On this month\u2019s iteration of the new music roundup, STLPR general assignment reporter Chad Davis was invited by Elaine Cha and “St. Louis on the Air” producer and music show originator Miya Norfleet to discuss their favorite new releases. There was no shortage of funky disco vibes and high energy in this month\u2019s selections with songs like \u201cDisco Ball\u201d by Paul Niehaus IV and \u201cDance with You\u201d by the band Starwolf.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Starwolf] had an album called \u2018Tropical Disco\u2019 that came out, so they have a lot of music that’s disco-inspired,\u201d Davis said. \u201c[\u2018Dance with You\u2019] continues the vibe and the sounds from that album. It really kind of focuses on the production and less of the lyrics. … It really does feel like very lush-sounding music.\u201d<\/p>\n
While this playlist will make you want to get up and dance, there are a few tracks that slow things down \u2014 including the jazz-and-hip-hop fusion of \u201cPlaylist\u201d by duo Treevilla.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s just so smooth, this song,\u201d Norfleet said. \u201cIt’s very grown and sexy. I feel like I should be in a lounge with a really pretty dress on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rounding out the selections this month was an introspective R&B track \u201c18\u201d from Malena Smith. \u201cOnce I start playing it,\u201d Cha said, \u201cI want to listen to it again and actually sing along with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
