It’s October, so it’s OFFICIALLY fall. If you know me, you’re well aware this is my favourite season. As much as I love summer vibes and warm weather, I also love sweaters and the colours of the changing leaves. Plus, fall photoshoots are the best!

If you’re still clinging onto summer, I know just what you need to solidify your fall mood: my October ‘finds & faves’ playlist! I’ve compiled 30 tracks that are perfect for your windy commute, shortened days and Halloween parties.

Scroll down to hit play on this month’s playlist and read about my top six picks. Then, go and get your spook on!

Playlist: September finds & faves

September 29, 2018 No Comments

Am I the only one that thinks September is one of the weirdest months? You fall back into a routine at school or work (and I’m a lady who likes routines), reconnect with friends you lost touch with in the summer and get to enjoy the last of the nice weather – all good things! But then things start getting real busy real fast, everyone’s trying to juggle all their responsibilities and, most annoyingly, you may need a jacket and shorts in the same day. (Seriously, this is the reason I get sick every fall.)

What I’m trying to say is that there is a reason this month’s ‘finds & faves’ playlist has several upbeat summer songs in addition to some colder tracks, both in tone and theme.

If you’re new to my blog, every month I share a playlist featuring my top new music finds and older releases that are back on repeat (or I’m just late to the party on discovering!). Clocking in at just under two hours, scroll down for September’s playlist and a few highlighted listens.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate all of the incredible new music that came out this month? One of my favourite Canadian artists Felix Cartal dropped his new album ‘Next Season’ (more on that in our interview coming out soon!), Clean Bandit released their long-awaited single with Demi Lovato, Shawn Mendes released his near-perfect third album and that’s just scratching the surface.

Though I’ve loved the new music, I’ve also put some of my favourite bright, spring-summer tracks back into my playlists.

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.

Playlist: March finds & faves

March is a month of transition, so it’s understandable that this month’s playlist has a little bit of everything. Here in Toronto, the weather can’t decide whether it wants to stick with the bitter chill of winter or the welcome warmth and sunshine of spring. Likewise, at school, I’m bouncing from assignment to assignment, with every short burst of down time interrupted by panic mode.

I need music for every mood. You know what that means: Get ready for some great variety!
