Studying is hard. I get that. So, here are some stellar albums for every type of study music listener to keep you focused:
For those who need quiet:
Ambient
Ambient’s self-titled album of instrumental music is perfect for producing a quiet atmosphere for focusing. A few of the most popular songs on their album are “Winter Light,” “Ocean,” and “Relax.”
The Pearl
Brian Eno and Harold Budd’s 1984 album The Pearl is a collection of ambient music that lets the notes simply exist in air. This album solicits a melancholic environment, yet is lively enough to keep you awake.

Chillhop Essentials Spring 2018
Chillhop’s Spring collection combines exceptional jazz elements with invigorating bass that is perfect for those who need a more encouraging and lighthearted environment. This album will keep you attentive and optimistic for the coming week.
Soul Freewheeling
If you are a fan of electronic music, DJ BONUS’s latest album may be of interest. Its electronic influences combined with ambient sounds liven up your environment to keep things interesting without sacrificing attentiveness.
For those who need something slightly more dynamic:
Hotel California
