Before hearing this song, I hadn&#8217;t heard of either artist; but what I do know is that Baraz is a Cleveland-born and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, Galimatias is a Danish producer, and their musical union is a match made in heaven.<\/p>\n<p>The song is from Baraz and Galimatias&#8217; EP\u00a0<i>Urban Flora<\/i>, released in May of this year. Yesterday, I heard a snippet of it on Instagram, Shazam&#8217;d it, and downloaded it on Apple Music right away. It has been on repeat ever since, and I expect to play it the rest of the month. The song starts as a dream, then suddenly and smoothly turns into summer. Baraz&#8217;s alluring voice and Galimatias&#8217; endearing tones match perfectly; and it&#8217;s the perfect song to play while driving on the Coronado Bridge, relaxing on the beach, in love, or breathing.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I had this song in my library over the summer, but now I&#8217;m using it to cling to the idea and fond memories of my favourite season of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/169170570&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-uMQoah8XHWg\/UO7bEAKjPOI\/AAAAAAAADSE\/fnCP5A4FLLY\/s1600\/Nia%2BLangleySignature.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nialangley.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Nia-LangleySignature.jpg?resize=320%2C148&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"320\" height=\"148\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My song of the month is &#8220;Fantasy&#8221; by Alina Baraz &amp; Galimatias.
