What it do?!  I'm writing this post from the future because it was important for me to chronicle this month's version of my "Wavy 100" Chill Vibes playlist that I curate (nearly) every month for a couple of years now.  I'd been meaning to capture this list on a monthly basis, locking in the vibes in a historical fashion so I can look back and be like "Aaaah shiiiiet... I remember this song!" ...and another month ALMOST passed again without writing down my July list!  We can't have that...

So what is "Wavy 100"?  Well, first off it's probably like the 4th or 5th different name the playlist has had over the time I was curating it... starting as something private and having a couple hundred songs of some of my favorite songs at the time... until eventually I realized it had a certain vibe to it: mostly hiphop and R&B songs, adding in some other FLAVORS as long as it made sense and matched the overall mood and tempo of the songs around it.  Eclectic sounds including "Latin" (Salsa, Reggaeton, etc.), dance/E.D.M., oldies, rock, disco, even a country jam gets put in there every once in a while...

Anyway, it's time for a new month, but without further ado... here is the July 2022 list!

🌹 It’s HERE! I am so proud to present to you the 🌹 ROSE 🌹 MUSIC VIDEO!

🚨The video is out now (you can watch it above!) and premiered on Noa James' YouTube channel! 🌍 It would mean the world to us if you vibed out with us and enjoy this new creation, based around this finely crafted love poem... plus you get to watch my singing, floating heads! 🤣 WATCH NOW and you’ll see what I mean! 😆

Here is a great description of the project (from the music video YouTube description):

Noa James names the nutrients necessary to nurture a lasting romance in his latest visual: “Rose“. The track, which features Cee Nario and is produced by Aye Brook, was released in July 2020. In the video, shot, edited, and directed by Victor Hernandez: the artist is a gardener? A scientist? God? James is WHATEVER encouraging energy his flower needs to burst through the muck of life and rise into her full and rightful position!

We see godly Noa press his finger into the soil to initiate life, we see scientist Noa mix and measure the perfect concoction of nutrients, and finally we see the gardener, prune the leaves away to reveal his glowing, curious, and purposed “Rose“, played by Jessica Bruny. 

Add that multi-layered and metaphorical plot to some trippy, Alice in Wonderlandesque visuals—like three Cee Nario heads sprouted from plant pots and harmonizing with each other—to the equally meticulous lyrics and surprising vocal delivery (NOA SINGS!), and you have a three-minute, twelve-second testament to James’ own nurturing development as an artist. 
“Rose” is available on all streaming platforms and accompanying merchandise can be found at bemajestic.store.

• 🌹Directed by Victor Hernandez
