This week's picks by Danny Dorko
12/15/2025
Indie Pick Selected by Danny Dorko
“Makeba”
Jain · 2015
“Makeba” is pure kinetic joy — a global-pop lightning strike that refuses to sit still. Jain weaves rhythm, chant, and charisma into something both playful and commanding, the kind of indie-adjacent anthem that turns any space into motion. It’s magnetic, bold, and impossible not to feel in your bones.
Current Year Selected by Danny Dorko
“MY TYPE”
Sudan Archives · 2025
A hyper-focused pulse built on strings, swagger, and sly confidence, it’s the kind of track that instantly redraws the room around you. The future-facing energy is unmistakable — a reminder that R&B, pop, and experimental grit all live comfortably under her command.
Legacy Track Selected by Danny Dorko
“Both Sides Now”
Joni Mitchell · 1969
Few songs hold a mirror to the soul like “Both Sides Now.” Joni Mitchell turns reflection into revelation, tracing the edges of love, loss, and the quiet ache of growing older. It’s a song that changes shape each time you hear it — timeless not because it stays the same, but because we don’t.
