Valentine's Day

I can't wait for tomorrow night to get here.  I'm not Catholic, and I'm single as a dollar bill and don't expect to have a cakemate for the night.  However, I will be burning a vanilla or lavender candle, cracking open a pint of Crown Royal XO (not my usual Crown Vanilla mixed with iced coffee), and listening to PJ Morton's new album The Piano Album, which drops on that day.

PJ is coming off a great 2019 that yielded a Grammy and contributed few songs to the 2019 Cake Batter Playlist.  He'll probably make the 2020 CBP, too, with the way he's been putting in work.

Still Caking: Cake Batter Playlist 2023

Image
    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.

Finalized 2020 Cake Batter Playlist (Photo Credit: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/53/e5/82/53e5821c9647580dc25913117da7b5b5.jpg)      It's that time of year, again.  You've ordered flowers and candy, bought outfits, made reservations, manscaped and gotten Brazilians, and booked rooms.  It's Valentine's Day,  a holiday which many of the recognizers are rarely aware of its origins or purpose.  That doesn't matter, though.  For many of us, this is the opportunity to trick off and cake on a whole 'nother level.  I've even gotten into the spirit, this year.  Don't do it dry, though.  Set the mood with the finalized 2020 Cake Batter Playlist. 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.

Lonr (ft H.E.R.) - "Make the Most"

Image
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!
