    [The Jukebox] #57 – Macross 82-99 – Fun Tonight

    A genre that I have been listening to a lot in the last couple of years has been “Future Funk”… ahem, I mean “Ｆｕｔｕｒｅ　Ｆｕｎｋ　因為ヾ”

    A genre born from the illustrious vaporwave sub-genre which was brought to popularity in the early parts of 2010’s with its sampling of music from the ’70s and ’80s English & Japanese pop and disco songs and the incorporation of synth-wave and other sub-genres of vaporwave and citypop.

    In my previous Jukebox, I wrote how the video-sharing service, TikTok was exposing artists and their music. Here is another song that was made popular from the app.

    Will Smith’s daughter Willow burst onto the music scene at just 9 years old when she released the infamous song, “Whip My Hair” and since then she has gone and released 3 albums (The latest only being in July of this year)

    Here is “Wait a Minute!” which has a nice chill beat.

    Lyrics:

    Life
    Mysterious life
    Where we’re moving around, dancing the rhythm of life.

    Time
    Mysterious time
    Where we’re counting the hours and days to the end of our time.

    And we’re feeling the change and we don’t know why
    Choose one direction just one more time
    Don’t say I’m thinking too much if you see what’s behind.

    [Chorus]
    And these are Mysterious Times
    Mysterious Times
    No trick of the mind
    For this moment I feel like we live in Mysterious Times.
    If you see what’s behind, these are Mysterious Times.

    Soul
    I feel my soul
    For this moment nobody can stop me from flying so high.

    Real
    Nothing is real
    In a world of illusion you only see what you feel.

    And we’re feeling the change and we don’t know why
    Choose one direction just one more time
    Don’t say I’m thinking too much if you see what’s behind.

    [Chorus]
    If you see what’s behind, these are Mysterious Times.
