Josh Jacobson X ANCHR Magazine Playlist

NYC based producer and singer-songwriter Josh Jacobson will be bringing his fusion of pop and soul music to Schubas Tavern on February 2nd! Before the show, get to know Josh a bit better and check out this exclusive playlist he handpicked for ANCHR! As a Northwestern University Alum, Josh of course featured some Chicago favorites on this list. Hit play and see what he has has to say about his song choices below!

Common - "Be (Intro)"

One of my absolute favorite records, with an intro to match!

The Impressions - "People Get Ready"

A Chicago classic!

Stormzy -" Velvet / Jenny Francis - Interlude"

Been really vibing to this Stormzy record lately and this may be my favorite tune from it.

Andrew Bird - "Plasticities"

I'll always remember seeing him play with Mavis Staples at the Hideout Block Party one year in Chicago while I was in school. Such a great performer! The way he loops violin and so many other textures live is unlike anything else I've heard. He and I both went to Northwestern!

Moses Sumney - "Lonely World"

I'm obsessed with this track lately, had to include it here! I love how it builds and the Thundercat bass fill towards the end is next level.

Kanye West - "Good Life (ft. T Pain)"

One of my favorite Kanye songs, this always brings back great memories of when I was in high school. Also love it more because it's a sample of P.Y.T.

H.E.R. - "Every Kind of Way"

D'Angelo and penthouse views. I love everything about this song.

Cajmere - "Percolator"

Closing out with some Chicago house favorites. Everyone knows this one from Cajmere aka Green Velvet.

Frankie Knuckles - "The Whistle Song"

Chicago was the birthplace of house music and these songs never get old.

Chance The Rapper - "Finish Line / Drown (ft. T-Pain, Kirk Franklin, Eryn Allen Kane)"

I love what Chance has been doing bringing together hip hop with gospel. I've been a fan of gospel music for a long time and it's a direct influence on almost all of the music I listen to, but it's cool to hear it brought out in this more direct way! Great song.
