Today, March of 2018 comes to an end, and with it my ’31 Numbered Songs’ series. Thirty-one songs named after numbers, by 31 different artists, spanning multiple genres, decades and levels of popularity.
My final selection comes from British modern jazz ensemble Lydian Collective. ‘Thirty One’ is the lead-off single from their new album Adventure, which in a nice bit of timing was released just yesterday.
I’ll close with some awards for the varied collection of tracks I featured this month.
Best Song: Big Star’s ‘Thirteen’ (covered by Elliott Smith); Runner-up: Taylor Swift’s ‘Fifteen’
Worst Song: Ultrapsank’s ‘5’; Runner-up: Nic Kush’s ‘8’
Obscure Artist Who Most Deserves a Larger Audience: Ivy Falls; Runner-up: Chelsea Rae
Best Blast From the Past: Gin Blossoms’ ’29’; Runner-up: Paul Hardcastle’s ’19’
Best (and Only) Foreign-Language Song: OH MY GIRL’s ‘Sixteen’
Best Discovery: H.E.R.; Runner-up: Lorene Scafaria
