Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Eliana (class of 2027) 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.
