NCS STEREO {YOUR SATURDAY LINEUP}

OOOOOO WEEEEEEEE, I have been a busy bee this week! Just when I thought I'd have a moment to come up for air....nope. Quite frankly I've felt a bit scattered, wired....alive....and worn at the same damn time **CUES FUTURES SONG: SAME DAMN TIME**. So, this weeks playlist may very well reflect the nature of my brainwaves as of late.

***WARNING: There is some Heavy Death Opera Metal on this playlist this week, just one song ;) If you open yourself up to the possibility, I think you'll like it.

As always, my focus is primarily on individual songs that I want to share with you! Now, some you may not like, some you may love, some you may remember, and some may be new to you and heading to your music device stat...either way, this is a peek into my music world and my taste. Respect it, enjoy it, and I hope I either introduce you to something or bring back fond memories.

LET'S GET STARTED!!!

There you have it, my top ten for this week!

Remember every Saturday I will bring you a new list of my top 10 songs of the week, in this NCS Stereo (NaughtCouture's Saturday Stereo) segment. Most times there's a focus on artists;  here I will be focusing predominately on specific songs, how they make me feel, what I like about the particular song, how I discovered them, and/or  sometimes the memories that come attached to them. This week I went a different route (as I stated earlier), the format may change again in the future weeks to come. Hope you enjoyed my picks for this week, Happy Listening!

There has been a serious up flux of tasks that needed to be handled this week, but honestly, I rather enjoyed having a full schedule. It wasn't filled with events or any other types of outings, nor did I get a chance to spend most of my days with the people in my life...but I did get a lot of work done. I truly feel as though I should find a way to attach all of my tech devices to my extremities, because it doesn't seem like I've been off them much this week (between business emails & phone calls, photo archiving & editing, and getting everything ready for not only the new direction my blog is going to go in...but some pretty big projects I'm going to be a part of). These were def my jams for the week,

Not gonna lie, this week was definitely a WOOOOOOSAAAAAHHHH type of week, filled with anger-management-countdowns and such...a good portion of this weeks' listenings reflected this. I then found myself listening to some chilled and "vibed out" tunes that helped put me in a better place. It seriously is amazing the effect music has on ones mood, I honestly don't know what I would do without it. In any event here are my picks for the week, I actually happen to love this weeks playlist very much...if I do say so myself, hope you enjoy it too!

I honestly couldn't tell you what this week consisted of beyond having a massive death cold, which come to find out...a lot of people were afflicted with this past week or so. During all of that a lot of behind the scenes work has been put into action (blog-wise), and I still had to pump out edits (because it seems that when I think I'm done editing photos....there's a shit ton more that needs to be handled. So my playlist ranged from chaotic, to dreary, to I need to get in that "Imma pull an all-nighter zone", to I just wanna lay here and wallow in my own human sludge because I'm too sick to stand and my nose won't stop running...and I refuse to take the tissues out of my nose (TMI much?). 

I know sometimes my lists don't have a consistent theme, but that not only pretty much sums up who I am as far as my interests (across the board) and style choice, I also don't want to limit what you listen to at the end of the week. I try to jam as much in there as possible (that's what she said). I honestly listen to far too much music within a week to fit into one little itty bitty playlist, this is my attempt at trying to cover all bases. This may change in the future, I may try and streamline it and become more...how do you say..."Profesh", but for now I hope you're liking the seemingly haphazard nature of my lists.

This week was a bit of a mod podge of listening pleasures. I went from Trap/Dub, to Rap, to Hip Hop, to some alternative...there was no real consecutive theme here. My mind was all over the place this week, and so were my feels. As the week dwindles down, I acquired a lovely little cold...**Side eye emoji** so my song selection began to match my sentiments as it pertained to that. Most of those songs didn't make it to the list....this time.

Hey guys this is AMY here, A.K.A. @_Betty.Black_ of BettyBlack.info (Jamila's main BISH & guest "DJ" for this week's NCS STEREO). She first came to me with the idea to guest "DJ" a few weeks ago and proposed the idea as a way to bring a new perspective to this playlist from time to time, since then she's already had a takeover and there will be more to come...who knows...maybe your takeover will be next. This is a list of songs I like and have been listening to recently, I hope you enjoy my selection.

This week was seriously about some of my favorite alternative albums from the back back days, even some classics. Most of my days as of late have been spent indoors, this has left me with much time to reflect and reminisce, and just hopping off the ledge of hitting the big 3-OH + 1...I can't help but dip back into the nostalgia bank frequently these days, while listening to my music library. I had no idea how much I'd miss being a teen. In any event, these songs bring back many nights that were riddled with acts of rebellion, mischievous fun & adventures, good music, breaking night, equally rebellious love interests, and "garage-band-member" crushes.

Can we say FINALLY, to a more consistent warmer more cheery spring-like weather pattern. This weather is seriously putting me in better moods already, to the point where I almost forget I am not well. I've even taken my ass out more than usual these past few days, all in hopes of being enveloped by the sheer amazingness of said weather....I just couldn't pass it up. My music was definitely a reflection of my feels this week...or did it help to set my moods...? Eh, whichever it was, I was loving my playlist this week, it brought me back to all the warmer weather walks I used to take.

This week has been craaaazy, so much has been going on in my personal life...but most importantly...so much has been going on in the world. I've been finding myself distracted or actually trying to distract myself, because even though I would never blind myself to what's going on in the world...I just needed a break. So I just kind of lost myself in my music. This week I found myself reverting back to some songs that brought back some teen year memories and even some younger ones, as for what made it onto this playlist...well why don't you just have a listen.

This week was my birthday week! I have officially breached the barrier of the big THREE-O, and to be honest I didn't do very much "Turning up" as most would do for their Day-O-Birth. So in light of me not really going out into the world, and twerking about town, I just spent most of my time listening to tunes that paid homage to the twerk queen that decided to take the night off (not that I spend many nights on). Not everything on my list is meant to for straight booty-poppin'...but most songs do make me want to dance...that's just me.

This week has been all kinds of hectic...actually....the past couple of weeks, so I went with a more toned down music selection in order to combat the 50 shades of shitty I've been feeling. If you're new to my blog, or to my social media, then you may not know that I suffer from chronic headaches (not that I make huge announcements very often about my severe ailment woes, all over my blog and social media like that..or very frequently). I do plan to do an depth post accompanied by a video all about it very soon actually. My goal isn't to Debbie down this NCS STEREO, don't get me wrong, I'm just filling you in. All in all, due to the kaka I've been experiencing, it has definitely shaped what I've been listening to this week. 

As always, my focus is primarily on individual songs that I want to share with you!

Respect it, enjoy it, and I hope I either introduce you to something or bring back fond memories. 

Disclaimer: These are not my songs and I am not claiming them.

LET'S GET STARTED!!!

#1 AltJ-Breezblocks: Aside from this song being amazing, the music video was expertly done. Additionally, this song (and every other song on this list) fits the feels of my week.

#2 Erykah Badu- Didn't Cha Know: Ok, so if you don't know about this song.....now ya know (and where have you been...?). This week it's been on serious repeat and has actually helped put me to sleep, and has been on the "Sexy Time" playlist as well. It's just one of those multi-purpose songs.

#3 Janet Jackson-Anytime, Any Place: This song is also a multi-purpose song, yes it has typically been featured on my "Sexy Time" playlist, but it has also done wonders to just help unwind my mind in general. 

#4 Tricky- Hell Is Around The Corner: OMG, Tricky is my love! So many nights were spent listening to him and Portishead, throughout my teen years. I was obsessed! When I came upon this song, amongst my arsenal of songs, I was actually surprised that I almost forgot about it and was happy to start listening to Tricky again.

#5 Portishead- Roads: Didn't I mention (like a few playlists back) that Portishead was my JAM?! Ugggghhhh, I LOVE this song and so many of the songs from Portishead. If you're looking to sink deeeeeeeep into some chill vibes, then Portishead is for you...hands down.

#6 James Blake- Retrograde: I actually heard his name for the first time about two weeks ago at my most recent photo shoot. I never got a chance to actually listen to his music, I just took note of his name. Once I got home I did my little search, and HOLY SHIT! This song is just sooooooo Fucking good, excuse my French....or don't. This song was just what I needed to help me through the past week or so, and through my editing sessions. 

#7 Clair De Lune- Flight Facilities: Yet another song that has help me turn in for the night, edit photos, enjoy my rainy Friday (which just passed), and de-fog my mind. It has quickly become a fave.

#8 Movement- Ivory: Unlike the artist James Blake, and how I hadn't heard from him until I'd gotten home from my latest phot shoot, I got the chance to hear this song from the Movement at the shoot. The moment this song came on, I just needed to know who was responsible for this awesome song. The thing is, it's not exactly a song with a lot of bells and whistles, but it is still just...everythang. It's repeat-worthy. 

#9 XXYXX- About You: I honestly don't know if it's the song that makes the song or the song coupled with the video directed, filmed, and edited by Jeff Vash , that makes the song (or at least makes me enjoy it more). This ISH right here is also the ultimate in chill vibes to the max, and with the mondo headaches and spine aches I've been experiencing...chilled to the max is where it's at.

Last but not least, #10 Yael Naim- Toxic: Now this is a cover! I love a bunch of her other songs, but  I am in love with her cover of Britney Spear's song, "Toxic". It's just so damn good, and I appreciate her unique rendition. 

There you have it, my top ten for this week!
