“Little” sounds like arriving at your final vacation destination, complete with the feeling of anticipation that is finally going to come to fruition once you step out of your car and onto the beach. Chimes alongside the chorus make the track literally glisten, while the simple—yet unforgettable—lyrics make “Little” the song of the summer. 

Horns give the track an anthem-like power that is directly aimed towards acceptance from a new love interest, one that Alaska’s very own Jany Green is already devoted to. He submits to infatuation in the lines “There's no faking, take all my time” and admits he’s “soft as Jell-o lately,” noting that he has already fallen and is not getting up any time soon. But Jany Green says it best: just getting a “little” love is better than no love at all.

Los Angeles genre-bending artist Moses Sumney released his gorgeous and ethereal debut album Aromanticism into the world this September. Sumney has made a big impression on artists like Solange and Sufjan Stevens for good reason. His infusion of soul and folk come together on this album in a way that leaves us begging for more. A prime example of this heavenly blend is found on the third song of the album, “Plastic.” A previous version of the song can be heard on the first season of Issa Rae’s HBO series, Insecure. This new version serves as one of the more simplistic songs on the album, featuring just a fingerpicked electric guitar, a synth and Sumney’s captivating voice. The hook of the song repeats the line “my wings are made of plastic,” each time sung in a slightly different way than it was before, continuing to imbue the phrase with new meaning. This song of vulnerability, self-awareness and secret-spilling is the kind that you can leave on repeat and get lost in for hours.
