Rob’s Pick of the Week
Junny - Optimist (ft. Blase)
This week was a tough one. Not a lot of songs matched my tastes. Although I’m pretty biased to some artists on the list, their songs as a whole weren’t home runs. I think I may have come close to picking the AI group, because that was pretty catchy. Closer to the end of the week, this song popped up. I’ve seen Junny on clips of Be Real, but I don’t think I’ve listened to any of his stuff. The instrumental itself was the big lock for me. It’s got a fresh sound to it. Maybe the only song on the list that had my head rocking to the beat.
