66 Days

"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 13

"66 Days"
by Rozzi

In 2021, I made a concerted effort to listen to more music and find some new artists. To that end, I resubscribed to Spotify and started using their recommendation algorithm (both for specific songs and through their "Discover Weekly" playlist based on your listening habits) to find new music. This was one of the first songs recommended to me that I absolutely fell in love with, and it was heavily listened-to all last year.

According to my "Top Songs 2021" year-end recap playlist, it was my 12th most listened-to song in all of 2021. That's a little misleading because I also listen to songs on Apple Music, YouTube and other sources, but at least on Spotify, it was #12 on my year-end 2021 chart. Number 11 has already been featured in my "The Soundtrack of Your Life"  challenge this year ("Imagine" ) and at least two or three of my Top 10 will make an appearance at some point.

Rozzi (Crane) has a really funky, soulful sound which I really enjoy. This is a song I listen to a lot because the bass mixed with the vocals is really easy to follow along with and is a good rhythm for when I want to get into a groove at work. Rozzi initially rose to prominence at age 19, after being "discovered" by Adam Levine of Maroon 5. She collaborated with and toured with the band for a while before branching out on her own.
