Cake Batter Playlist

    A few years ago, I began creating playlists of songs that were great for setting the mood for "caking," or setting the mood.  The plan was to drop the playlists, annually, just in time for Valentine's Day.  Extenuating circumstances threw me off, last year. So, this year's CBP post includes two years' lists.  Be responsible. Enjoy. Also, feel free to subscribe to the Apple Music or Spotify profiles to see these, or my other playlists, as they evolve.

Compared to the 2019 playlist, the 2020 playlist is a little edgier.  It includes legends like Erykah Badu, and mainstays like Ledisi and Trey Songz, as well as a little Hip Hop and some Afrobeat flavor.      The 2021 playlist is already growing.  The 2020 playlist is, and future playlist will be, available on Spotify.

What's up, people.  Here is the current state of the 2020 Cake Batter Playlist, just in time for the Caking Season. Keep Caking! Cake Batter 2020 (Nov.)

Halfway through the year, several new tracks have been added to the playlist.  These tracks include the following: "Slow Wine Bass Line" - Lloyd (ft. Teddy Riley) I just ask what the hell is a slow "wine"?  I know what a slow wind is. "Believe It" - Partynextdoor & Rihanna I love Partynextdoor.  Dude makes it cool be vulnerable with your women, again. "3AM" - Russ & Ty Dollar $ign I was drunk when I first heard this.  A few drunk text went out that night. "U 2 Love" - Ne-yo & Jeremih Dope record.  I know artists hate comparisons but Ne-yo should be proud to hear that this one respectfully reminds us of Mtume's "Juicy Fruit."  It took a week to figure out whose song it was, though.  It sounded like The-Dream, at first. There are a few from John Legend's new project but I want to handle them in a separate post. Until then, update your playlist and keep caking!

  H.E.R. has done it, again. She's dropped another beautiful song that I'm adding to the 2020 Cake Batter Playlist. It's called "Wrong Places." It's got me in my feelings. lol... Check it out and keep caking.

This is a dope record from Lonr.   I appreciate the desire and promises in the lyrics.  Even more than that, I appreciate the delivery.  The music is simple enough and leaves enough room for you to be able to appreciate these sultry voices.  This could've easily been a Sade record.I may be biased because I just love H.E.R. and anything that she's featured on but this should definitely be considered for your playlist. Get your cake on!
