2025 Mix 12: Going long on my retroactive 1989 AOTY by Jane Child, plus Jennie, Jvcki Wai, AVYSS, ALT BLK ERA, viral Spanish-language hits, and some old mix and Golden Beat faves
BTW, I've started a monthly freeform radio show, streaming via Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/callinamagician/march-2025-radio-not-radio/. I learned about the two South African songs included at the end of set from last week's roundup. The first set is spacy and dreamy, the second angry and more directly political, and the third finally gets to more accessible and well-known artists.

This is awesome -- thank you for sharing it!!
Thanks! "Novo + 244" was the standout for me from today's songs, and I intend to play it on my April show.
Rosebud pop. There's a genre. IRL, Downtown and Michelle do that for me, but you've started something with that one.
Vangdale & Jvcki Wai best pop music I've heard since Le SSerafim's 'Easy'. The new Banshee album is good too.
Vang is a Vietnamese word I recognize from Vu Ha Ahn's songs, roughly translates as "echo", "resonance", or maybe "reverb"
