[secretmessages1983]

i watched nope 2022 finally last night and i already knew obeah man by exuma was in the movie but cannot stress enough listening to the rest of exuma’s discography exuma was from the bahamas and most of his music is about the spiritual traditions that people practice in the bahamas and it’s amazing here’s another song from the same album as obeah man

june: playlists // @cityofdreamstasks​ FAVORITE ARTISTS

Ryan has been collecting vinyl since he was a child. He’s spoken a lot about certain musical artists being his influences so for the first playlist I decided to compile a selection of songs from his favorite artists, his friends,  but also some that I haven’t heard him speak about but I think he would listen to based on his aesthetic. There’s a wide range of genres on here and I think that speaks volumes about who he is as an artist himself; I don’t think he has a specific ‘taste in music’ I think he has a taste for music, and he really will listen to anything and find something to appreciate even if it doesn’t make it’s way into his record collection or his liked artists on Spotify/Apple Music.
