Pretty Girl

"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 6
"Pretty Girl" by Ice Spice (feat. Rema)

I had never heard of Ice Spice before she featured on a Taylor Swift song ("Karma" off her most recent new album, Midnights). Ice Spice was then the musical guest on an episode of Saturday Night Live where Taylor Swift did a surprise introduction, which my wife wanted to watch, and this was the song that she ended up introducing. I immediately fell in love with the soulful, Caribbean-type beats of this track, and Rema's voice is a perfect complement to Ice Spice's rapping. I've listened to a few other Ice Spice songs since and I can't say that I'm a huge fan of her as an individual artist, but something about this song really clicks.

Looking at my tentative playlist for this year, there's actually very few hip-hop artists and rappers this year. I usually have at least a couple, but this might be the only one... unless I suddenly call an audible and change my mind in the middle of the activity (which has been known to happen).
