The perfect amount of everything
I finished another year of university (one more to go!), baseball season is in full swing and the nice weather is slowly arriving. It might still be spring, but I think I can shamelessly be in full summer mode! Plus, so many artists are already releasing their summer singles and I’m obsessing over every single one of them.
Read on for this month’s ‘finds & faves’ playlist and my most played tracks.
The music world knows how to start the weekend on a high note.
In just one Friday, our ears have been blessed with new singles from Tinashe, 5 Seconds of Summer, ZAYN, Hailee Steinfeld and more. If you’re a hardcore music fan like I am, you better be here and listening or be square because all of this new music needs to be on your playlists STAT.
Whether you’re sitting by the pool, waiting in-between acts at an awesome music festival or commuting to and from work, these 13 tracks are sure to set a good vibe. Before you leap into July’s full new music playlist, preview five tracks that are surely about to become stuck on replay.
“Hangin’ On” by ROZES
You may recognize ROZES’ voice as she was the featured vocalist on The Chainsmokers’ “Roses,” which was at the top of every radio station’s playlist earlier this year. Now, the 23-year-old American singer is shining solo with her new single. Although this song came out in mid-June, the upbeat and can’t-stop-must-dance vibes have made “Hangin’ On” a summer staple.
“Body Say” by Demi Lovato
Just as Demi Lovato embarked on her joint Future Now tour with Nick Jonas, the songstress released this sultry new song that is both stage- and summer-ready. “Body Say” is especially perfect for those more intimate summer nights…you know what I’m saying.
*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.
