Welcome to Frank Edwin's 12/12/2021 Salad Bar🥗Top 100 weekly inclusive feast where we invite you to Chow Down on a fresh variety of tasty musical artist cuisine. Romaine Calm - Turnip the Beet - Find Inner Peas.
The Top 100 has just a small sampling of the artists worldwide that have music we enjoy sharing. We literally can't keep up with the number of new songs released weekly and new to us artists we are discovering on a daily basis from a plethora of sources.
There are currently over 200 songs waiting to debut on the chart. To facilitate the opportunity of having more songs join the buffet we are delighted to give 6 songs each week the special designation of #1 Salad🥗Song. This is a special week as 17 songs reach the top of the chart.
Grace Gaustad - BLKBX wht r u hding
"Instead of simply making a record, Grace Gaustad made her own world…"
It is a joy to place a cherry tomato on top of a special film in 12 chapters awarding all twelve the special designation as #1 Salad🥗Songs in their 15th week on the chart. We let
blkbxproject.org/grace-gaustad/ introduce you to the project.
"The 19-year-old Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer magnifies her message on tape, on-screen, and beyond. Through her independent full-length debut, BLKBX: wht r u hding, she presents a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional, and multi-sensory world where all are welcome.
The music only serves as the gateway as she widens the scope of this place with an accompanying video for each song, culminating on the BLKBX feature-length film.
At the same time, a poem corresponds to every track, and she invites further immersion via the YouTube series BLKBX: A Therapist Speaks. As a multimedia curator, she actively maintains a safe haven for a generation beset with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, uncontrolled emotions, and tendencies to self-harm.
“The glue that ties everything together is the story—which is the first 18 years of my life,” she says. “Even though these are experiences I’ve gone through and continue to go through, the topics are universal. The songs, the videos, the artwork, and the poetry play a different but major role in the narrative. Writing BLKBX taught me when you keep things to yourself, they just grow. They don’t get any smaller or quieter; they just get bigger and louder in your head. Once I finished writing the project, I remember a tremendous amount of relief. It’s not because any of these problems went away, but it’s because I was being completely honest about them with myself for the first time.”
Working with director Van Alpert [Post Malone, MGK], she co-wrote the treatments for the twelve videos comprising BLKBLX: wht r u hiding and starred in the BLKBX film. She sonically and visually follows a teenage girl through life’s most confusing years with empathy and understanding.
#1 Salad🥗Song: Gravity Noir - Feat. Ofra Haza - Im Nin Alu אם ננעלו 2021
“It’s not about fame and fortune, but the footprints we leave behind for future generations.” Patrick Knight of Gravity Noir commenting on his success
To celebrate Gravity Noir's 30th anniversary they released a brand new version of the worldwide hit 'Im Nin Alu' from the 80s featuring on vocals, the sadly deceased Ofra Haza, Madonna of the East. Her beautiful vocals continue to be enjoyed by millions of fans around the world including those partaking of the Salad Bar🥗Top 100 buffet.
Gravity Noir states, “This is not a cover or a remix. The music is completely original. The words sung by Ofra Haza are from a 17th-Century poem, written by Rabbi Shalom Shabazi. 'Im Nin Alu 2021' will be part of our forthcoming album 'ANKH: A Musical Travelogue.' As the name suggests, the theme will be Egypt and will mainly consist of footage filmed during Patrick Knight and his husband's honeymoon in 2007."
Lettuce groove as “Im Nin Alu” reaches the apex of the Top 100 feast in its 11th week on the chart giving Gravity Noir a #1 Salad🥗Song.
#1 Salad🥗Song: Edmund Bagnell - The Water
“There’s a light on the bay, the tide’s coming in.
The moon is rising, my eyes are clear again.
We can roll with the waves, we can ride them to sea.
We’ll always find our way back home — as long as you’re with me.”
"Edmund Bagnell is a diverse artist, having performed as an actor, violinist, singer, and 1st violinist and singer in the internationally touring string quartet, Well Strung....which released three chart topping albums in the classical crossover genre...
I’m beyond excited to release my new single, The Water. While the lyrics read as a classic love song, it is also inspired by my time in Provincetown, Massachusetts last summer. When everything in the world felt so uncertain, the beautiful bay of Cape Cod was a reassuring presence." From artist bio
It is a pleasure to present Edmund with our Salad🥗Bowl in honour of “The Water” being given the designation of a #1 Salad🥗Song in its 10th week on the chart.

www.edmund-bagnell.com #1 Salad🥗Song: Terra Spencer ft. Lilli Lewis - “The Daughter of Avon”
Windsor, Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer discovered her passion for crafting songs while touring with country artist Ryan Cook, after being recruited as a backup singer in 2014 while scooping ice cream at a music festival.
As the story goes, Powerhouse New Orleans singer-songwriter / pianist / activist Lilli Lewis should never have been. Before she was born, Lewis’ mother was told her baby probably wouldn’t survive due to lung trouble, so the fact that Lewis now makes a living singing with those same lungs is a gift she never takes for granted. Lewis uses her voice to bring what she calls sacred songs into profane spaces, and though she’s abandoned trying to define her sound, she hopes her audiences leave shows knowing two things: that they are brilliant as they are, and that they have the ability to use that brilliance to make a better world.
Trained as an opera singer and classical pianist...Lilli Lewis has been a composer, producer and performer for over two decades. After carving out space as an African-American lesbian of size, Lewis is lending her voice to the industry’s need to diversify, as quoted in panels from Billboard to Rolling Stone.
"…Global Music Match is a returning initiative created to continue raising the profile of local artists in international music markets within the challenging parameters of the COVID 19 pandemic.
The program is a unique response to the limitations imposed on the music industry, that makes use of the only available platform – social media and peer-to-peer collaboration – to increase networks and exposure for export-ready artists internationally."
globalmusicmatch.com/"The Daughter of Avon", the delicious collaboration between these new friends, finds itself at the top of the buffet in its 11th week on the chart giving it the distinction of #1 Salad🥗Song.
#1 Salad🥗Song: MUNA - Silk Chiffon (feat. Phoebe Bridgers)
We present another collaboration our Salad Bowl as Muna featuring Phoebe Bridgers joins this week’s week's #1 Salad🥗Song in their 11th week on the chart with “Silk Chiffon.”
"MUNA has examined themes of gender and sexuality since the trio began making music in 2013. The band's first single for Phoebe Bridgers' Saddest Factory label, “Silk Chiffon” continues to incorporate these ideas lyrically and visually; the song's video is based on Jamie Babbit's 1999 cult film But I'm a Cheerleader, which mocks the practice of gay conversion therapy. “Silk Chiffon” perfectly complements its video's sapphic, satirical whimsicality with warm, tender lyrics and supporting vocals from Bridgers." NPR
#1 Salad🥗Song: morgxn - DON'T THINK ABOUT IT
Previous #1 Salad Song Chef morgxn returns to the pinnacle of the Salad Bar Top 100 with the rousing, hands in the air anthem, "Don't Think About It" enjoying its 14th week on the chart.
“There is so much pressure and attention on gender as if it’s something new. It’s not,” morgxn explains, “but with headlines like ‘forest fires started by extravagant gender reveals’ it makes me wonder… why gender has become such a heated debate when we are debating something that is, at its core, deeply personal. I loved how this video came to be and NETA BEN EZRA, the director and new mother, really helped lean into the question: is gender anything other than an individual's unique expression?”
