Prompt: "The most recent song you heard for the first time"
Selected by Galia
"Rush"
Ayra Starr
19 & Dangerous, 2021
Ever since last year when I started listening to Burna Boy more, Spotify's suggestions have slowly all turned into Nigerian afropop/afrobeats artists. And of course, the more I listen to the suggested artists and songs (Asake, Kizz Daniel, Fireboy DML), the more suggestions in the category I am given. My listening got to the point where in my Spotify wrapped the place that my listening was most alike to was Idaban, Nigeria. I know that part of Wrapped is defs a sham... BUT I feel unique that my area didn't wind up being Burlington, VT, or Berkeley, CA, which apparently happened to many people I know.
Anyway, "Rush" is the newest song that showed up in my Spotify algorithm, and it has quickly grown to be one of my favorites.

Okay so I think I misinterpreted the prompt! I thought it was the song that you heard for the first time most recently. I want to clarify that I have listened to music that is newer than 2021
Disagree that you misinterpreted! I'd say that both interpretations are correct. The interesting part was seeing how each person read it. Split pretty much half and half!
