It is not uncommon to find me trying to get close to speakers in cafes, shops, clubs and restaurants trying to Shazam songs. Every song has potential to be a “hoop song” and if I hear a catchy beat or a sweet lyric I simply have to know what the song title is; always keeping my ears open for a new hoop song.
This month the April Hoop Love playlist is a combo of new and not so new tunes, a couple that I have fought to Shazam in noisy places and a few have come from the divine Browse function on Spotify. You can find the link to April Hoop Love Playlist here
Every song has a meaning and a feeling behind it, I often float into that feeling or memory when I hoop to the song.
A sweet remix of a tune I Shazamed recently while sitting by a pool in Bali with friends.
Wildlight – Twirl Me / Pumpkin Reminx
This one got Shazamed in the back of an Uber rushing to a train station after visiting a friend
Riton Ft. Kah-Lo – Rinse & Repeat
This Odesza song makes my heart ache, reminds me of staying up all night with friends in Melbourne dancing under fairy lights and telling funny stories on beanbags until the sun came up. I can barely listen to it without tears filling my eyes.
ODESZA – Kusanagi
Any thing Sia…really. Extra heart pounding points if it is live. I think this is one of my favourite songs though. Her version of this on the Spotify Sessions is breathtaking!
Sia – Bird Set Free
Do you use Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music or another way to compile your hoop playlists?
