hi. you ever, like, go through one of those weird phases where you’re making playlists and then you find a song that turns into this whole, like, earworm thing and you can’t shake it, and you end up making a playlist but constantly replay this one track? haha, yeah me too. anyways, that song for me right now is imchibeat, erik bo jonsson & the northern lights, adéee – stick around.
it came out last wednesday – november 26, 2025 and it’s been in my head and on my playlist on repeat ever since. so, i’m familiar with imchibeat from his production work with the random bastards collective out of umeå, sweden. i’ve found i really like his work on songs like “norrland”, “kashmir”, “salmiak” and “schjo” – all done with erk from trainspotters. i think erk has a really interesting a good flow and the emotional beats of imchibeat go really well together and create that really interesting swedish hip hop sound i’ve been really into lately.
“stick around” is different in tone, but it’s still really good. i like the vocals from erik bo jonsson and adée, set against that deep and emotional sound that really makes up imchi’s production.
i think i like the nature of the conversation between two people struggling with a relationship and intimacy. i’ve been in this weird headspace lately thinking about relationships, how we come to know and understand other people and how we understand ourselves within that context. i’ve been thinking about love a lot lately, and this song has been a bit of background accompaniment to some of my more pensive moments.
anyways, this song is really great, and you should check it out and consider following these cool musicians on insta or something idk. to imchibeat and erik and adée thanks for the cool tunes btw.
(and yes, obviously this will be on my december 2025 playlist, but i’m not finished building it yet, but i’ll post it when i am, but forewarned – its a weird one for this weird ass month)
