When was the last time you were surprised by liking a piece of music? (sopuli.xyz)

When was the last time you found piece that didn’t match your usual listening habits, but ended up liking it? How did you come accross it?

My taste has been mostly rock, metal and certain kinds of electroic music, but

Fallout introduced me to Billie Holiday

Youtube channel Inside the Score got me started on classical music, like actually listening and enjoying Beethoven, Sibelius and Dvorak and going even to a concert instead of just knowing the bits you can not avoid.

The jazz covers of Phoenix Wright music, especially The Dark Fragrance of Coffee, got me seeking for more of similar style.

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

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.

Dessa, try album IDES. Feminine rap. Discovered via Doomtree when i thought their Boomerang video was hilarious.

There’s this series of compilation albums called Dark Country, most notable for having a lot of the music from the Rebel Galaxy games. I would not call these good, exactly. But they have a very specific vibe and they all do that vibe extremely well. It’s not what I normally listen to by a long shot, but I keep coming back to them. They’re gritty, dark, cheesy, catchy, and fun.

MONO - Hymn to the Immortal Wind was a really pleasant discovery for me recently.
