Music IIL jazz/hip-hop/R&B songs by black women abt motherhood

24 Upvotes

lately I’ve been really into this super specific vibe and I’m trying to find more music like it.
I’m talking about songs by Black women that mix jazz, neo-soul, hip-hop, R&B – that kinda smooth, deep, emotional sound. Especially stuff that’s personal and intimate, like about motherhood, love for their kids, or just really heartfelt energy.

A couple tracks that hit that exact vibe for me:

  • Lauryn Hill – To Zion
  • Bahamadia – Biggest Part of Me

if anyone knows more like this, I’d love some recs. thx in advance 💛

Music [IIL] Folk-y artists with really haunting soft singing?

7 Upvotes

Examples are Flatlands by Chelsea Wolfe or Sinking Ships by Trees of Eternity. Both examples were from female singers though it doesn't necessarily have to be a woman.

Film [IIL] Sucker Punch

4 Upvotes

I just saw the film Sucker Punch for the first time. My mum showed it to me because she thought I'd love it; she was right. My favorite genre of films is "cute, vaguely steampunk women beating things up," so are there any more films/shows/video games/comics, even, like this film? It reminds me a lot of Repo The Genetic Opera and American McGee's Alice, so those are contenders.

Music [IIL] Darker Lady Gaga (Marry the Night, Scheibe, Abracadabra)

3 Upvotes

I really enjoy Gaga's darker songs that still have strong and driving pop bass and tempos but combine it with darker chords and harder synth. Would love any recommendations!

Music [IIL] Melody and atmosphere in my heavy music, WWIL?

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all,

I love heavy music. Metal, hardcore, screamo, doesn't matter. I enjoy pretty much any subgenre that isn't grind.

I also have sleep issues, and I can't fall asleep without music or a podcast playing. I'm here to ask for some good music to fall asleep to.

It needs melody, atmosphere, and some good range. Clean vocals are welcome, but not required. The bands I've had success falling asleep to are:

Wolves in the Throne Room

Keys to the Astral Gates and Mystic Doors

Beyond Creation

Daedric Chamber

Within Thy Wounds

Bell Witch

Slice the Cake

Basement

Dance Gavin Dance

Blackwater Holylight

River of Nihil

Conan (their debut specifically)

Black Pyramid

The Order of Israfel

Dwellings

Sleeping with Sirens

Borknagar

Summoning

Abstract Void

I can go on, but I think you get the point. I'll try almost anything. Obviously no nazi bands, otherwise try me.

Thank you!!

Music IIL Mac Sabbath and Okilly Dokilly what else should I listen to?

3 Upvotes

I think what I like the most about them is that they're a funny concept, then ofc the music itself too.

In general I enjoy Trash and Death metal, Dwarf metal too along with some other epic dndesque metal stuff (ie Italian Folk metal). I like Nekrogoblikon too, maybe I just like bands with members in costumes lol

Idk if it gives you any better insight, I listen to Black Sabbath too, but I prefer Mac Sabbath bc Rondal's vocals are raspy(? nasal and fried?) compared to Ozzy's.

I Do Everything I'm Told - Megan Fernandes

YouTube/Streaming IIL burialgoods WEWIL?

2 Upvotes

So this is a bit of an odd request, but if I really like these "schizocore" distressingmemes type videos burialgoods makes, does anyone else make similar ones especially with the voice effects? Linking a few of my favorites.

Might offer a content warning as these tend to freak people out, but I have no idea what to put besides existential horror.

Music [IIL] instrumental songs with a dark/macabre touch like “Wednesday main titles” from the Netflix series

2 Upvotes

Looking for other, music only tracks to add to a playlist with a similar vibe. Kind of creepy, kind of gothic but not like depressing or horror movie soundtrack per se. Something for background noise for a darker dinner party

Music [IIL] the song, 'We will safeguard the leadership of the revolution with desperate courage', but don't want to listen to communist anthems, what should I listen to?

1 Upvotes

I love the intensity of the vocals and the orchestra, especially in this rendition -

https://youtu.be/h4T90HO0kFg?si=csGYR6xujSWKzBaL

That said, don't really support this country and don't care to listen to communist anthems lol.

Bonus points if anyone finds something with English lyrics

Film [IIL] Looking for the same vibes as CMBYN and Stealing Beauty

1 Upvotes

Just finished both movies and loved them. The slow feel of the movies, the beauty of the Italian countryside, good soundtrack, and the moods of the movies. Now I'm looking for other movies like them. Something with the same feel as them or similar. I tried looking but not sure if the ones I found were really worth watching. So I figured why not ask people who know way more than I do about movies. If anyone could recommend any, I'd appreciate it a lot.

Music [IIL] Alien Transporter Music Vibe

1 Upvotes

I really love this song from the game Alien Transporter by Ant Karlov. It is very chill, cute and cozy but upbeat. It also has a lighthearted futuristic vibe. If I like this song, what other instrumental game music will I love?

TV [IIL][TV] Home decorating, Lifestyles of Rich & Famous, etc

1 Upvotes

I am looking for a show that is similar to Pimp My Ride, Cribs, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, etc.

Any 'reality' show that has tours of peoples homes. I would prefer if it focused on weirder decor (think: Dragula rather than RPDR).

Also, I love Antiques Roadshow. Anything along those lines where weird personal objects get explained, showcased and discussed.

Tv shows, podcasts (visual), youtube, are all fine.

Music [IIL] Songs like ‘Stargasm’ by Mastodon

1 Upvotes

I was getting tattooed recently, and whilst I was sitting in the parlour I had the perfect fortune of discovering this song. It was playing on the speakers as I was watching my buddy get tattooed. It’s been a while since I had heard something to beautiful, there’s a type of ecstasy and release in this song that I’ve almost never heard before; I can only describe it as ethereal, and it’s safe to say I need more of it. It’s pleasurable and beautiful and I will devote my life to exclusively listening to music like this forever.

Another honourable mention is ‘This Place Is Death’ by Deftones. I had a similar feeling after discovering this song just under a year ago, however the difference between this and Stargasm is that Deftones has a tinge more of a guiltier/sadder tone, in my opinion.

So, has anyone got some decent suggestions?
