Editor’s Note: “Boston Thriving” is an ongoing series from Vanyaland highlighting and honoring the national and global success of Boston- and New England-based bands and artists.
Add tastemaker to Neemz’s ever-growing résumé: After collaborating with Converse to promote their “Converse By You” custom sneaker campaign, TIDAL has tapped the Boston artist to curate a playlist honoring Women’s History Month this March.
Neemz shared the playlist yesterday (March 28), offering fans a selection of songs that spans The Pointer Sisters, Beyoncé, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Tems, Jorja Smith, Softee, and 070 Shake, among others. A handful of Neemz’s own tunes appear on the list as well, including her most recent single “Gazing” and “Lifethativebeenlivin” from her 2021 album It’s Above Me. TIDAL describes the playlist as a compilation of musicians who “have inspired her [Neemz] with cinematic production and expression that take you into their worlds.”
“Thank you @tidal for giving me the opportunity to curate this playlist for Women’s History Month,” Neemz shares on Instagram. “A few on here that have inspired me with their levels of expression & taste in sound !”
