Obviously, Her Campus at CNU has some amazing members… We have amazing events, creative articles, and, I’m just recently learning, amazing taste in music. I’ve recently been less than inspired by my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify (No offense, Spotify! I’m sure all my music algorithms are off!). I’ve always loved getting music suggestions from friends, and a few amazing suggestions turned into this crazy idea.
Every week, Her Campus at CNU will bring you a playlist filled with some amazing bops, jams, and tunes to get you through the week. This week, we’ve complied some of our favorite jams. Are y’all ready??

15. “Without Me” by Eminem
“I grew up on Eminem, my mom hums this in the car, and I can rap, like, 97% of this, so no duh…” -Royall B.
16. “Die Young” by Sylvan Esso
“All about realizing that people being in your life is great.” -Royall B.
17. “Fiji Water” by Owl City
“Even though it seems like Owl City is so 2009, Adam Young reminds us all that there’s no such thing as luck, and everything happens for a reason with this jam!” -Shannon C., Writing Team
18. “Roman Holiday” by Halsey
“This song is a nod to a dreamier time than late January poses. With it’s catchy tune, you’ll soon be dreaming of the warm spring days with the person you love most! Hang in there, collegiettes!” -Shannon C.
19. “Cold Little Heart- Radio Edit” by Michael Kiwanuka
“I’ve recently been addicted to Big Little Lies, and the theme song is so dreamy. The vocals are killer, and what seems like another indie-esque song turns into a real head-bobing jam.” -Julianna G., Senior Editor
20. “Be Alright” by Ariana Grande
“I loved this song when it first came out, and forgot about it for a bit. Recently, life’s been throwing me some interesting curve balls. This song is something to put on repeat when you feel like you just gotta breathe. That marimba catches your attention. Just remember, no matter what, everything will be alright.” -Julianna G.
21. “Confidently Lost” by Sabrina Claudio
“I LOVE Sabrina Claudio. Her vocals are *praise hands emoji*. She has such an ethereal, almost magical voice is only complimented by the chill beats and vibe of this song. Put this bad boy on repeat, light some candles, and take a bubble bath. Her voice works perfectly with bathroom acoustics… and if you end up singing along with her, yours will too!!” -Julianna G.
