Monthly Music Recap (June 2022)
Welcome back to the monthly recap of my top singles and projects. I understand that not everyone has the time to go through weekly new music releases, so this recap is a way for me to provide a summary of new music that everyone should check out.
I’m listing my top singles and projects each month in no particular order (other than alphabetical), so check out at the end of each month or the beginning of the new month for a monthly recap. Each month might differ in terms of number of entries, as this will depend on the number of new releases, which can vary from month to month. The number for June is 30 (thirty).
Top Singles
The number just keeps increasing each month, so I guess 30 is the new 25 (last month's number). Some I've listened to multiple times on repeat, including a beautifully melancholic track (Joji's Glimpse of Us), a more upbeat yet sinister track (FKA twigs' killer), and a power anthem (Lizzo's Grls). Some familiar faces like Ashe, Bastille, and Muse also released singles that I enjoyed this month.
As usual, if you prefer to have all the songs played in one place, you can check out the YouTube playlist below.
Here are my top 30 singles for the month of June 2022:

Top Projects (Albums, Mixtapes, EPs)
Similar to the singles, I also had a tough time narrowing down the list, so I listed more than last month. Like last month though, there are a good mix of genres, ranging from nu jazz (FKJ's V I N C E N T), to country (Carrie Underwood's Denim & Rhinestones), to electronic (Alan Walker's Walkerverse, Pt. 1). Personally, SZA's deluxe version of Ctrl has been on repeat this month, which is released 5 years after its debut.

And there you have it, my top singles and projects for the month of June 2022. Again, my intention is to provide a summary so that people can check out music if they don’t have enough time to do so. This list also gives you a taste of my favorite genres, and I hope you enjoy every one of them like I do. Happy listening!
The next issue will be a recap for the entire first half of 2022, where I'll be listing my favorite singles and projects for the year so far.
P.S. If you want to actually stalk what I’m listening to at any time, feel free to do so on my Last.fm profile here. You can also check out my Musicboard profile here, where I track my backlog (under Listen Later) and reviews for music releases. Don’t worry, the long reviews are here to stay and I do also crosspost the long reviews there too.
On a less music-related note, I have a Letterboxd account here in case you’re interested in seeing which films I’m watching along with my brief film reviews. I also have a Serializd account for TV shows here.
