Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Eliana (class of 2026) and features songs by singer-songwriter Malcolm Todd.
Malcolm Todd
One of my favorite artists right now is Malcolm Todd, an up-and-coming American singer and songwriter whose music is a blend of alternative, pop, and R&B. His music creates a unique sound and heavily uses elements of electric guitar, violins, trumpets, layered vocals, and more, telling stories of love, insecurities, and self-discovery.
Malcolm first gained popularity after two of his songs, “Art House” and “Roomates,” gained a lot of traction on TikTok in 2023. At the time, Malcolm had only released a few songs, such as an EP (extended play) called “Demos Before Prom” and a few singles. Since then, Malcolm has released a number of singles and a couple of albums, including “Sweet Boy” and “Malcolm Todd.” One of my favorite things about Malcolm Todd is his music videos. In some, like “Roomates,” he is just messing around with friends, while others, like “Cheer Me On,” contain just a single shot of Malcolm showcasing his emotions.

On Loop
Hello everybody! These are songs that have been stuck in my head on loop recently.
* “Agbadza Dance – Volta Region of Ghana” Agbadza is an Ewe music and dance that evolved from a very old war dance into a very popular recreational dance. Today the dance is often performed at weddings, funerals, and parties.
* Bizung Students – “Bamaya Dance”
Bamaya (which means “the river (valley) is wet”) is a traditional dance popular in Northern Ghana. The dance tells the story of an ancient drought and a desperate prayer sent up to the gods to bring rain. It is said that the gods listen to women’s prayers first, so the men dress as women to perform this dance.
