School’s wrapping up, the nice weather is returning…add some pep to your step and own your sasswalk!

To get myself through the exams that are separating me from summer freedom, I’ve pulled together some of my favourite sassy songs that get me moving, grooving and feeling on top of the world. Regardless of what you’re doing this month, let this playlist serve as your reminder to always cherish your spark, stay fabulous and kick butt. Take that, exams!

Before you listen to April’s playlist in full, preview four selections that are currently at the top of my most played list.

“Temple” (Lenno Remix) by Parson James

You may recognize his powerful yet sensual vocals from Kygo’s hit song “Stole the Show.” Now, the star of the song, American singer and songwriter Parson James, has more to give, starting with the release of his debut EP with RCA Records. The EP’s title track has a fresh EDM-infused sound thanks to an incredible remix by Finnish producer Lenno. Listen once and you’ll never go back!

“With Me” by dvsn

dvsn is an act to be watched. The Canadian alternative R&B duo, consisting of singer Daniel Daley and producer Nineteen85, just dropped their debut album ‘SEPT. 5TH’ via Drake’s OVO Sound label. With it, they have proven that they are the masters of a sound that is modern, classic and simply addictive. “With Me” is a must-listen for fans of The Weeknd, Miguel or PARTYNEXTDOOR.

MUSIC MONDAY: Springing into Spring with Vibrant Tunes

March 21, 2016 No Comments

Although the weather may indicate otherwise, spring is officially here and a new playlist fit for the season is a necessity.

You may have noticed that there was no new Music Monday playlist on my blog in February. In case you missed it, I partnered with Girls’ Life magazine to curate five Valentine’s Day-themed playlists covering everything from love songs for happy couples to girl power anthems for the single and proud chicas. These playlists are guaranteed to hit you right in the feels all year long!

For this month’s playlist, I’m starting off spring on a musical high with 15 handpicked tunes that will bring out all the good vibes! Before you listen to it in full, preview my selections from three of the hottest artists in the industry.

“LIKE I WOULD” by Zayn

Zayn Malik broke off from his One Direction bandmates to take time off and experiment with new projects. Then, rumours started swirling about an official solo music venture. Zayn officially responded to the speculation by dropping his single “Pillowtalk” and giving fans their first taste of his new sound. Now, leading up to the release of the full-length disc ‘Mind of Mine’ on March 25, Zayn has been surprise releasing his favourite songs from the album. Fan-favourite “LIKE I WOULD” is an upbeat track about reconnecting with a former fling.

They are oozing talent, drive, passion and a sound like no other – they are the bands and artists to watch in 2016.

For this month’s playlist, I have handpicked some of my favourite artists who are ready to dominate the music world in 2016. Before you listen to it in full, preview six of my selections and get hyped for a new year filled with incredible new music.

Who Is Fancy

Who is Fancy, you ask? He is Jake Hagood, a 24-year-old pop singer and rapper hailing from Arkansas. In the past year, he has garnered the attention of Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift’s managers and released a single with Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande. With a debut album in the works, expect to hear a lot more from Who Is Fancy in 2016!

Check out: “Boys Like You,” featuring Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande

DNCE

It is nearly impossible to not want to get up and dance to any one of DNCE’s catchy tunes. The new music project from Joe Jonas and friends Jack Lawless, Cole Whittle and JinJoo Lee saw great success in 2015 with a debut EP, ‘SWAAY,’ and sold-out club tour. The group has already teased a full-length album and follow-up tour for 2016 and we are SO ready!

*This post marks the first in my new monthly series of Spotify playlists that I will be making and featuring on my blog.

Christmas is my favourite time of the year! I love spending time with my family and friends, getting the chance to rejuvenate after a long and hard year of work and just taking in the spirit of the season. Whether you are opening presents or going on a road trip, you will definitely want some tunes to amp up the holiday vibe.

This month, I have compiled a list of some of my most-played tracks over the past few weeks and my new favourite Christmas classics. Before you listen to my full December playlist, preview some of my favourites.

“December” by Ariana Grande

Pop songstress Ariana Grande gave her fans the best surprise Christmas present ever with the release of her second Christmas-themed EP, ‘Christmas & Chill.’ In each of the six original songs on the EP, Grande sings about a winter romance that is the perfect Christmas gift all on its own. This cute and catchy track is definitely one we can “Focus” on!

“You’re Such A” by Hailee Steinfeld

We all know and love Hailee Steinfeld for her outstanding performances in films like True Grit and Pitch Perfect 2, but get ready to become obsessed with her incredible new music! “You’re Such A,” one of four catchy tracks on Steinfeld’s debut EP ‘HAIZ,’ is a sassy shout out to an ex-boyfriend who just isn’t taking the hint.
